that is built possesses certain features
peculiar to itself and rendered neces-

walls furnish plenty of floor space,
which can be used to good advantage.
The doors, ventilators, and roof are
so arranged as to provide for ample
fresh air and shade. The wires fas-
tened to the roof and lying on it serve
to hold up the back for ventilation
and to shade the ground. The back is
swung open and the hooks that hold
1t shut are hooked in these pieces of
wire. In the winter the house can
be closed to shut out the cold winds
and the roof opened to give fresh air
and sunlight to the interior.
In moving the house a good way is
to take a chain or a strong rope and
fasten 1t to the runners through the
holes bored for the purposes, fasten
to clevis, hitch on a team, and take
the house wherever desired.
