Why Living Is High.

required when doing the cleaning in the back part of house.
 When shed roof poultry houses are ventilated by means of cheese-cloth covered openings in front, they are easily provided with fresh air.
 The general ground plan is to leave the whole floor space free to be cov- cred with straw several inches deep for scratching purposes. Laying hens nEst be kept busy to prevent them from getting too fat. In order to man. ufacture eggs the hens must be well fed. The difference between fat hens and laying hens depends upon the kind of food rather than the quantity, but he element of exercise has good ieal to do with the keeping of laying hens in proper condition.
 In these shed roof poultry houses he droppings board usually is placed ander the low roof at the back. The roosts are supported a few inches ,bove the droppings board and the nest boxes are suspended underneath This work Is all done in such way that the whole outfit may be taken out easily and the whole inside of the house may be thoroughly cleaned. The easy cleaning proposition is worked put in connection with all parts of the house. Cleanliness means a great deal in the poultry house.
 The plan of this particular design further provides for a closedin room for breeding GOODS. This room may be divided by a partition. or it may be made into one room for the use of houses. Some poultrymen use this center room for the nest boxes as well as for broody hens. The laying Is principally done in December, January and February and breeding seldom commences before March.
 Shed roof poultry houses seem to work out better than any other style of roof when it comes to ventilation. If is not easy to manage poultry house in sucn . way as to ventilate 1t n-operiy. The ventilation in all farm bufIdinGs depends on . certain degree of warmth Large animals, such as cattle and horses, have considerable hodv warmth, which sets the air in motion. Fowls are % small that their h,dv heat is not sufficient to warm

A poultry house s6 feet long natur- ally divides into two compartments. This poultry house is only 12 feet from front to back, which is in ac- cordance with the ideas of a great many poutrymen who are anxious to have the sun shine clear back to the far wall during the very early spring weeks when eggs are high in price and the hens need every possible en- courasement to supply the demand.
 Shed roof poultry houses present the high sides of the buildings to the sun. Poultry houses are always faced in a southerly direction, and they are al. ways closed in tight at the north and west, because the prevailing cold winds usually come from those two di- rectiors. The sun shining against the high side of the building during the day usually keeps the house comfort able during part of the night because of the stored up heat. In addition to the warmth a house is much more cheerful on account of admitting con siderable bright sunshine.
 Shed roof poultry houses are quite common in the eastern states where thousands of farmers keep poultry for profit. Some of them keep poultry only in a small way, but they have studied the needs of laying hens and have provided means to keep them comfortable and to induce them to lay eggs in the winter time.
 These shed roof poultry houses are cheaply built and are easily made com fortable for the fowls in all kinds of weather. Usually such houses are made quite low at the back. Some are as low as three feet, being designed for the comfort of the fowls rather than for the convenience of the atten- dant, because considerable stooping is
