of house is also suitable for raising
early Matched chicks.
The upper windows are hinged so
they may be swung open at any de-
sired angle or to be hooked up as
the weather demands. The lower
front is covered with one-inch mesh,
wire and a drop canvas or windows
may be used. The window should be
hung SO as to swing in at any desired
angle. Roosts are placed along the
north wall. A single roost running
the length of the building and set
out two feet from the north wall, may
be made to serve the purpose.
A roost shield for cold weather can
be made Of frame the length of the
roosts and two feet wide, to be Gov

burlap hang a foot below the roosts.
This frame should be drawn up out

them right on the floor. A screen
made of burlap so it will almost hide
the nests make them more attractive
to the hens and helps to prevent egg
eating.

.SULPHURING' THE HEN HOUSE
Job SHOULD BE Performed at Least
Once Every Month--First Re-
move All Combustibles.

To burn sulphur in a poultry house
first remove all combustible matter.
Then put an old iron kettle into a
dishpan and place on four bricks in
the middle of the house. In the ket-
tie put some cobs which have been
soaked In a solution Of one part OF
pine tar to four parts of kerosene,
sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs
and set on fire. ]
Be sure to have everything arranged
so as to beat hasty retreat from
the room and close the door quickly
as the sulphur fumes are suffocating.
Sulphur burned in this manner will
penetrate every crevice as well as
covering the surface and aids won
derfully In purifying the building and
IN destroying poultry vermin.
One pint of turpentine may be add
ed to the half gallon of kerosene as
we'll as the pine tar with beneficial
results. Once a month is none too
often to burn sulphur in every poultry
house.
