water into their heated systems or

There are just two extremes to be
avoided when providing ventilation for
stock or poultry in close quarters
during the winter months. The first
and most common is insufficient air,
the other is too much.
We must not get the idea that it is
necessary to close every opening in
a building in order to keep the stock
warm and in good health. Provide
an aperture by which the fresh air
may enter each building. and one that
will allow the foul air to pass out as
it is breathed and poisonladen, ther
regulate the size of the openings as
the weather changes.
In ordinary weather, the size of ven
