distance between the windows is 8 feet

depth of feet inches from the plate,
is not boarded up but is left open to be
covered by cloth curtain when neces-
sary. This leaves light wall feet 10
inches high, extending from the bottom
of the opening down to the floor, which
prevents the wind from blowing directly
on the birds when they are on the floor.
A door 2 feet 10 inches wide, for en-
trance to the yard, is made in the front
wall. The lower half is boarded, the
upper being covered by the curtain.
Another door Is by Is inches is placed 6
inches from the floor under one of the
windows for the birds to pass through to
the front yard. A similar door in the
center of the back wall admits them to
the rear yard.
A light frame made of l by 3 inch
strips and by 6 inch cross tees is COW
cred with either 1O-ounce white duck or
unbleached sheeting, and hinged at the
top of the front opening which it covers
when closed down. This curtain is easily
turned up into the room and held in
place by hooks in the ceiling.
The roost platform should be made
tight. 1t extends the full length of the
room against the back wall and is feet
10 inches wide and 3 feet above the floor.
1t is then high enough for a person to
get under when necessary to handle the
birds or clean out the house There are
three roosts, framed together in two TO-
foot sections. The top is l foot above
the platform and hinged to the back
wall, SO they may be turned up out of
the way when the platform is being
cleaned. The back roost is IL inches
from the wall, and the spaces between
the next two are 16 inches. They are
made of by inch lumber placed on
edge, with the upper corners rounded
off. The roosting closet is shut off from
the rest of the room by curtains similar
to the one described for the front of the
house. For convenience in handling
there are two of these curtains, each 9
feet 8 inches long by feet wide, hinged
at the top SO as to be turned out and
hooked up. This leaves space feet 6

This space is ceiled and in it are two

VENTILATION.
Ventilation is another important fac
tor to be considered in the construction
Of the poultry house. Prof. F. H. King
is authority for the statement" that hens
breathe S,27S cubic feet of air in twenty
four hours for every thousand pounds of
live weight; while man requires only
1888 cubic feet and cattle but 2,8O4
cubic feet
When this air is taken into the lungs
it is fairly dry, but when exhaled it con-
tans large amount of moisture. If
the poultry house is poorly ventilated so
that this moist air has no way of escap-
ing, the water will collect in drops about
the house. In the winter this damp air,
coming in contact with the cold sides
and roof of the building, forms white
frost. The first warm day this frost
melts and falls into the litter, making it
damp and unhealthy for the birds. Such
conditions are. the cause of much sick
ness and loss Of vitality when the birds
are kept in the so-called warm houses.
The curtain-front and open-front poultry
house were devised to avoid this condi-
ton of winter dampness.
1t makes little difference how poultry
house is ventilated, provided it is thor
oughly done and does not subject the
birds to drafts. Houses that are loosely
boarded so that there are cracks and
holes on all sides are not desirable. Such
houses are drafty and there will be much
sickness in the flock.
THE STRAW LOFT.
The straw loft furnishes a very con-
venient and successful method of ventila-
ton. Its greatest drawback is that the
straw collects large amount of dust
and dirt. 1t also makes hiding place
for mites and other vermin. If straw is

A SOUTH DAKOTA CONCERN.
Morrell Packing Company of Sioux
Falls is a Home Institution

In the advertising columns Of the
Register there appears the bid o
patronage of the Morrell Packing
company of Sioux Falls. This is n
of the new industries of the state,
and is one of the biggest of
South Dakota and one of the biggest
of IFS kind in America. The Morrell
company is a home institution, it
buys the raw products of the Dakota
farmers and manufacturers them here,
il employees many hundred South Da-
kota people and helps support the
state and the community in which it
IS located. Their bid for the patron
age of the people is warranted.
The present capacity of the plant is
$500 hogs and 400 cattle per week
in the summer, and in the winter the
capacity will be almost doubled. The
product is shipped to all parts of the
United States and England, finding a
ready market because of the splendid
reputation the Morrell organization
enjoys all over the world as high
grade packers of pork and other meat.
Ii is natural that the people of the
state should take pride in the know
ledge that products made within its
boundaries are being sen to all parts
of the civilized world for consump-
ton by the people of every cline. The
Morrell company already have a large
local trade and their products are
winning favor daily.
