GOOD CHICKEN HOUSE
Proper Shelter for Fowls Has
Much to Do With Success.
Building Must Afford Protection to
Hens From Thieves and Predatory
AnimaIs-Guard Against All
Dampness and Drafts.

By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
Success with chickens depends upon
the house as much as any other one
factor. Feeding and proper founda-
ton stock are the other two great fac
tors, but a poor house, or a good
house improperly handled, will effec-
tually cut down the egg yield, if it
does not actually kill the chickens.
In modern poultry keeping the
house has but two functions to per-
form. 1t must protect the hens from
thieves and predatory animals, and it
must protect them from drafts, damp
ness, and the direct rays of the sun.
Any house which does this is a sat

right and has the necessary interior

equipment. The floor must be dry,
windows and doors must be so located
as to allow a maximum amount of sun
shine on the floor during the winter,
and the fowls must have actual out
door conditions, as far as fresh air
is concerned, night and day, winter
as well as summer. You cannot give
them too much air, if it is not drafty,
and the roost is protected by muslin
curtain during very cold weather.
The old idea that the whole south
side of the hen house should be glass,
forming sort of sun parlor, has
been permanently. exploded. 1t is a
better plan to have it all open to the
weather, but the ideal arrangement
is to have one window and a large
opening beside it, which is guarded
by chicken wire and may be closed
by a hinged. frame covered with I'M
bleached cotton cloth, during stormy
weather. Whether closed or open, this
curtain frame permits of free circula-
ton of air and the fowls are much
healthier and lay better. The walls
should be perfectly tight, but they
do not need to be more than one thick
ness. Whitewash them inside twice
year, putting some good insecticide
in the whitewash.
The floor should be either cement
covered with earth, or earth alone.
Wooden floors rot if covered and they
harhOr rats if thaV ara raised
The roosts should be 2x4 timbers,
fiat side up, edges rounded, and all
on level to prevent hens from crowd
ing on the top one. Place them over
tight board platform to catch the
droppings, and clean it off at least
once a week. Hang the nest boxes in
a row under the dropping platform,

VALUE OF RHEUMA FROM The COURT
Judge Barhorst Was Relieved OF Rheu-

If you have.tried many other RENE
dies and doctors treatments for Rheu-
matism and found they failed, do not
be skeptical about trying RHEUMA.
Read the testimony of Judge John Bar
horst of Fort Loramie, o.
After treatment by thee doctors
without result, l have been cured of a
very bad case of Rheumatism by using
two bottles of RHEUMA. 1t is now
two years since | used the remedy, and

Practical Houses.

Narrow poultry houses are more ex-
pensive to construct for a given
amount of floor space than are wide
ones, besides compelling the birds to
roost near the open or muslin front.
Breeding pens are sometimes built

should be less than twelve feet wide
