windows are downstairs and half
upstairs.
The ground floor is of con-
crete, kept constantly covered
with chaff and cut straw, and
used as scratch pens, being light
and pleasant for that work.
The entire upper floor is used for
roosting rooms and nothing else The
tight floor of this upstairs roosting
room is covered with dry sand.
The droppings falling upon this sand
are soon dried out, and no odor arises.
1t is not cleaned oftener than once a
month and yet there is but little odor
up there on account of the good ven
tilation. This roosting room Is not hot
either. being double walled and covered
overhead, in the attic with nearly a
foot OF dry straw, which Is non-con-
ductor of heat The roosts are placed
about four feet apart and two feet
above the floor.
Early In the morning the attendant
opens the door leading to the roost
room, lets down the walkway or ladder
and the hens are soon filing down to
the scratch rooms below when the lad
der is pulled UP until roosting time at
night. Not bird Is allowed up there
during the day. These great houses are
divided into but two pens each about
80 by 80 feet
LOO Fowls in a House.
During the height of the breeding
season each Of these houses contains
1000 hens and one male to each ten
hens, or 100 males or $50 to each com
partment Just think of it-r-500 hens
and 80 males all in one bunch! It
would seem that there might be war
between the males. No trouble to
amount to anything is experienced in
this particular One significant fea :
ture in regard to this is that pullets
make up the inhabitants of one house
and hens that of the other; so, with

vice president and general manager.
With such a man at the helm one can
readily imagine the system and scien-
tlfic management that would prevail
upon the Yesterlaid Farm.
The Feeding System.
The feeding is done through great
hoppers placed in the partition between
the pens, and those of the three houses
combined hold a carload of feed so that
