The use of muslin in place OF win
dow sash is now an accepted practice
with practically all up to date poultry
keepers. Not only does the muslin ad-
NIT sufficient light, but what is more
essential than this. makes possible
perfect circulation Of afr. This insures
the health of the flock, which in turn
is a prime condition for egg produc-
tion. A lady reader Of these notes who
has her poultry houses equipped In the
above fashion reports twenty-six eggs
from her fock OF less than a hundred
hens on a day recently when her ther-
mometer on the back porch registered
80 below zero. Muslin is cheaper than
window glass and is also better for the
biddies. Another who has tried muslin

ports that dampness on the floor has
disappeared since the change was
made.
