MOVABLE HOUSE FOR TURKEYS
Following along the line OF argument
advanced IN these columns many times I'm
favor OF keeping the poultry on the ang
as late in the fall Rs possible. the reader
will be interested in the movable poultry
house here described. The runners are
formed by the fastening together OF two
heavy plankS and the ends are trimmed SO
as 10 turn upward n trihe. Then a hole IL
bored through the end OF cRch rune
through which n chain may be slipped TO
be- attached 10 a whifle-tree so that when
the horse IL attached the house may be
drawn TO n portion OF the range desired.
The house may he made any dimensions
desired. elk by eight feet or eight by ten
feet. being the average size. When made
for the use OF turkeys only the sides arc
Cf solid lumber. the backs and ends be-
lrg covered with strong wire netting to

placed as high as Is possible for turkeys
