The common mistake made in To-
eating the farm poultry house is that
of locating it too close to the other
farm buildings, thus encouraging the
hens to overrun them--a nuisance
also encouraged by feeding the poul-
try too often in front of the barn in
stead of near the poultry house. A
common location of the poultry house
on the farm is between the barn and
the dwelling house. Then the hens
are often permitted to overrun not
only the barns. but the back porch as
well. This habit is naturally encour-
aged by the crumbs, table scraps,
etc, being thrown out from the kitch-
en- door. Under such conditions poul-
try keeping is not only unpleasant.

Locating Poultry Houses
They Should Not Be Built Too Close

By Professor H. Kempse College Agriculture University of Missouri

The greatest fault with the farm

poultry is the unduly artificial condi-
tons around the poultry yard. With
unlimited range at his disposal, the
farlne" uses only a very small portion
of his farm for poultry raising, This
range is usually limited to the farm
