really an absolute necessity for several
reasons. one of these Is to prevent The
uepredations Of rats The floor should be
50 constructed that there will be no possible
danger from drafts, from rats or from
other vcgmin. All things considered. A good
cement floor is about the best choice. IL ia
absolutely rat-proof and will wear n life
time II properly laid down
In making a cement floor Il Is needful 20
Dig down foot or so and fill IL with broken
bricks, stones and coarse cinders. tamping
ms hlling down solid, and thus assuring
a good foundation for the cement. In case
the selection Is for a cement floor be sure
TO cover 1t with four or five inches Of road
dust straw or sand, or all mixed in order
to protect the fowl from injury when flying
down In the mornings This covering should
be renewed frequently and never should be
permitted to become the lurking place of
germs or living vermln.
In case the choice falls, for reasons OF in.
diVidual convenience or economy, on n
wooden floor. IL Is worth while making IL a
double boarding. This will insure the de-
sirable freedom from drafts Furthermore.
the space between can be filled with broken
bricks. stones, cinders and other hard ma
terial. and this layer will prevent the rats
from gnawing through. Otherwise they may
make their direful appearance at unex-
pected times, and the flock will suffer, par
tcularly when the young chickens are
hatched and are too small to go up TO roost
Nothing is more distressing TO the amateur
who has half a dozen to dozen fowls in
order to provide eggs for the family table
use than TO find at feeding time some morn
ing that several of his pullets have been
slain by rats
The roosts should be of substantial tim
per but not too thick. The diameter Of n
broomhande is about right. In fact, broom
handles make good roosting polls, as the
wood is so hard and strong The roosts
should be very firmly fixed in the house
walls, as they have a considerable burden
10 pear at nights The roosts should be
placed fairly high up n order not to expose
the fowl to possible drafts at night
