FLOORS FOR POULTRY HOUSE
rhose Made of Lumber Are Deemed
the Best Despite the COST
Cement Type Good.
CBv l. ], GOODE.)

l.
With the constant increase IN inc
price of IL Der there is growing
tendency t. use something else IMAM
boards in the construction OF hoors ol
poultry houses. There are many peo-
pie who consider the board floor the
best 1t must be agreed, however, rhaC
there is a point in the advancing cost
of lumber at which the use OF poaluS
will have to be dispensed with.
Most people that construct pouiti =
houses are not so rich that they can
afford to pay out large sums or money
for any part of the structures.
The board floor is without doubt the
warmest kind of floor, and that is why
the writer favors it. The ideal way Oh
building such floor is to use matcneu
lumber for the top and rough poarus
for the bottom with tarred paper be-
tween.
The thick, heavy tarred paper is the
kind that should be used, Much OF the
tarred paper being used in house con-
struction is of very little value.
1t simply answers to fulfil the prom
Use of the contractor to put tarred pa
per in the walls. The heavy paper
costs more, but it is worth more than
it costs.
A floor that is thoroughly well pun
together will be quite warm, PROVIDED
that the space under it is kept tight
A floor of wood should stand foot or
so above the ground, so that rats can
not get chance to gnaw 1t.
The trouble about the space under
the floor is that it is quite commonly
| left open to the weather, and the hool
above the space becomes very cold II
the winter time.
Some builders say that this space
should be left open to the air, so thai
dry rot will not attack the wood, Du
! is there any reason why the outside!
should not me tight and the open
lngs Tor aeration be made in the floor
thus letting the air from the poultr,
house pass into the space instead o
the frigid air from out of doors?
Earth floors are becoming quite com
mon, but they are difficult to keel
clean. Sometimes they are too we
and sometimes too dry, and If the 10
cation of the poultry house is low
they become damp, which is very detri
mental to the health Of poultry.
An earth floor, to be kept in goo
shape, would have to be kept covere'
with litter of coal ashes. AS
matter of fact. the ordinary farme
seldom does this; ideal conditions TO
fowls are usually found only in tn
institution that is devoted entirely t
the raising of poultry.
Ideal care cannot then be depende
on to give us results, and the dirt foo
will thus usually be found in yer
untidy condition.
Sometimes in winter it freezes har
and is a poor substitute for a woode
floor
The cement floor is coming to b
quite popular in some localities, bu
has the disadvantage Of being colo
Also it will not entirely prevent tn
entrance of moisture.
A cement floor, like an earth foo
has to be kept covered with somethin
in the winter time. 1t is, however, sa1
itary and easy to clean when it ha
become dirty.
Water can be used upon it withou
any injurious results. 1t will not b.
