cept the feeding trough which Is fastened
In the front end. and the method for carr
Ing for the d~roppings. This Is planned IN
W ways. In some coops we remove the
end bottom hoard OF the box and arrange
Al on clcats SO that Il may be pulled out
and cleaned, the slant or the coop causing
the dropping to fall to the lower end. The
other plan we like best, which IS TO ar

how complete the plan is. It is not ex-
pensivc and certainly these coops are ideal
for fattening purposes.
OvER-HEATED POULTRY HOUSES
While the main trouble is usually with
cold houses there IS assuredly such a thing
as heating the houses too much or rather
having them too warm, OF course this
may be controlled BIZ ventilation TO some
extent, but then there IS danger OF the
owls catching cold If the ventilation Is
too great. Whiie one will have TO con-
struct the poultry house in accordance
with the climate III which they live and
the bred OF fowls kept II Is a good general
plan to have THE houses SO built that there
Will be no draughts. nav them we'll lined
with plenEy or means Of ventilation; then
see that SOME way OF ventilation is pro-
N1ded for use at night and there ought to
be no trouble with oyer-heated houses. II
IS better 10 have the house too cold than
to warm, for 1t IL comparatively easy 20
furnish additional warmth To the fowls
when on the roost hy hanging old carpet
or burIap in front Of them, while IL the ex-
ira ventilation is given for the over~warm
house the fowls are likely to catch cold.
TOO MUCH EXERCISE FOR PIGS
trhe amount Of exercise which may be
given swine TO advantage depends upon
when and where they are to be marketed
It ALSO depends somewhat IN the breed.
The close iointed breeds can be given more
exercise than the long 1ointed ones for 1t
" easier 70 fatten the first named when
necessary. We have found that when
there rs a market for pigs In the summer
or early fall Ii will not do to let them

same time well exercised by having q
