Some observations which have been
made by the poultry department Of the
Maine Agricultural college show that
eggs from hens kept in houses with
curtain instead Of tight board fronts
are not only more fertile, but produce
a larger per cent of strong chicks.
This is attributed to the fact that with
the curtain font the houses are better
ventilated and result in more vigor-
Gus physical condition on the part OF
the hens. which accounts for eggs of
greater vitality.
