THE FERGUSON POULTRY FARM. Mr.. Alfred
M. Ferguson has just completed at his poultry
farm on Northport avenue a chicken house 12O
by "a feet. 1t occupies site at the farther
end of his poultry house and at right angles
with that building. 1t is substantially con-
structed and papered on the outside. The
foundation and floor of cement new
hot water heating apparatus will be installed
The furnaces are in the front end of the build
ing and the pipes, two in number, arescarried
in the center the whole length of the building
with an alleyway between. The pipes are to
be boxed,with openings at intervals over which
will be the "hovers", which take the place of
Breeders Each hover will have space par
| titioned off in which the chicks can exercise,
There will be 80 hovers in all and 5000 chicks
| can be cared for at one time with less work
| than the caring for 80 breeders. Then the use
| of kerosene, with its offensive odor and danger
! from fire, is dispensed with altogether Mr.
| Ferguson has had his whole farm plouphed
this fall and next will plant it to grain,
devoting as heretofore some space to cabbapes
| as winter food for his hens He finds use for
both the grain and the straw in his business.
| and the hens furnish all the fertilizer needed,
There is an old orchard on the place where the
chickens had their runs during the summer
and with the care given them the trees have
improved, but Mr.. Ferguson intends to start
young orchard next spring, and will set trees
in the poultry runs, where they will not only
furnish shade for the hens but will be fer
tilted and kept free from insects. Mr.. Fer
guson has an order for all the eggs he can
furnish, for Matching, from large concern
engaged in raising broilers. He has a very
capable assistant in Mr.. Elmer F. knight, and
everything about the place shows careful and
intelligent attention.
