Muslin and burlap are being used
quite extensively for convenience in
TeDtilation, the former being prefer
Ted because il admits more light and
Is more durable. There is a con-
slant movement of air through the
cloth and this not only supplies fresh
air but carries off the foul air and
the moisture. The nuslin-front house
IS exceedingly popular. because Of its
VOW cost and the efficient ventilation
1t permits without drafts. Since mus
tln has become SO popular and the
frames are raised a large portion OF
ihe day, except in very cold weather,
many poultrymen have abandoned the
use OF glass almost entirely, although
a combination of glass aid muslin is
preferable. Small frames are pre-
terred To large ones because of con-
'enlence i'll handling. Care should be
exercised to prevent birds from using
