PROVIDE COMFORTS
FOR THE POULTRY
Few Suggestions Which Cannot
Fail to Be of Much Assist
ance to Any Farmer.

Economy Of floor space, simplicity
OF construction and convenience in
handling the fowls which means q
saving of labor are the essentials to
be observed in the arrangement OF
the interior Of the hen house.
ROOsts located in the warmest part
Of the house, generally as far as pos
sible from the front, are the most sat
isfactory. II they are placed on q
level there will be no tendency OF the
birds to crowd on the highest. Valu-
able fowls are often injured or killed
by falling when crowded from the
rOOsts- ROosts should be simple in
construction, easy to handle and firm
Poles may be used to advantage, pro
vided they are two inches in diameter.
TwO-inch by fOur-inch material placed
on edge with the upper corners round
ed make sensible and satisfactory
rOOsts- Generally these may be set
in nOtches along the back OF the
house. making them easy TO remove
for cleaning. They should be placed
not less than fifteen inches from the
wall and one foot apart Often the
rOOsts are fastened to cross pieces
in the form OF frame, these pieces
being hinged at the back
By raising these the cleaning of
the dropping boards is often made
easier. When hens are apt to perch
during the day they can often be en-
cOuraged to use the scratching floor
: by raising the roosts. The height OF
the roosts from the floor depends
largely upon the breed Of fowl and
upon the height of the house. For
heavy breeds, two to three feet is
as high as the bird can safely perch,
while for lighter breeds four or even
five feet is practiced- Eight to fifteen
inches OF roosting space should be
allowed for each bird
| The use Of the droppings platform
| is strongly advocated because If in
creases the size Of the scratching
[ floor and also because the manure is
easily saved In this way. The plat
/ form, however, must be cleaned regu-
/ larry. II the poultryman is not willing
/ to take this extra care it would be
/ better to have the floor beneath the
I rOOsts surrounded by q partition TO
/ prevent the birds scratching among
| the droppings. The platform should
! be placed low enough to make clean
/ ing easy Flooring is the most salts
| factory material to use for the plat
! form
Darkened nests are the most desir-
/ able, for they not only furnish secIu-
/ sion, which a hen desires, but also
/ tend to lessen the amount Of egg eat
/ ing. habit more frequent with the
| use Of open nests Portable nests also
/ facilitate cleaning.
A common method OF installing
nests is to place them under the edge
OF the dropping boards This is a
very convenient way, and little mate
/ rial is required to construct the nests
The hen enters from the rear and
/ the door may be let down from the
/ front to remove the eggs.
