BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Success in raising poultry requires
more than pure-bred or scientifically
cross-bred stock. The poultry house
is Of equal Importance. 1t must be
right in design and it must be prop
erly located. The poultry house eff
fects the success in raising poultry in
two ways: 1t has q direct effect In
providing protection for the fowls and
giving them every advantage which
makes for good health and maximum
laying capacity; it has an indirect eff
feet in placing the fowls under the con-
troll of the farmer, who Is able to give
them the attention which they require
If the best results are to be obtained.
Without regard for the size or shape
of the poultry house, there are two
rules which should be followed: One
of these is that the building should
face the south or southeast. The other
Is that the north and northwest walls
of the building should be carefully in
suated against the wind. 1t is neither
necessary or desirable that windows be
placed in these walls. Generally
speaking, poultry houses are built too
high. Domestic poultry requires very
little headroom, but the excessive

adopted by the members of the New
York State poultry association.
1t is built on wall of concrete and
has a good concrete floor, the idea be-
ing permanency and sanitation togeth-
er with protection against rats and
mice. After the concrete walls have
been built, the ground is leveled inside
and settled with water. The floor is
placed above this, the concrete being
in the proportion 1 3 IS. Instead of
using rich cement mortar surface
coat, the top of the floor may be COW
cred with one-inch coat of lime NOR
tar made with very fine sand. This
material is softer than cement and is
better for the poultry. There is so
little weight ON the henhouse floor
that the ordinary solid concrete con-
struction is not necessary. The foun-
dation walls extend up Is inches above
grade and about Is inches above the
floor.
The studding are connected with
the top of the concrete wall by using
sockets which are set in the concrete.
After the inside wall board and the
outside drop siding have been carried
up the studs a short distance, about
one inch of fresh cement mortar is
placed in each Of the spaces between
studs and worked into the corners
thoroughly, to prevent cracks through
which the wind can blow and to seal
the walls against poultry insects.
Above the stills, the walls and roof are
sealed both outside and inside and a
layer of building paper is placed
against the studs under both the wall
board and the siding and against the
rafters under both the wall board and
the sheathing. The object is to make
a dead-air space surrounding the in
closed space so that the temperature
of the interior will be held as even
as possible.
To facilitate ventilation. and to get
the benefit Of the sunlight, the roof is
given a long slope at the back and
short dip in front, as is clearly shown
in the perspective view. This also
gives headroom for the attendant in
the front part with low roof at the
back, which is appreciated In the win
ter time when there is not much heat
from the sun. The front intake ven
tilators consist Of window openings
covered with very thin cotton. Cheese
cloth is recommended as being thin
enough to admit both air and light yet
it is thick enough to prevent draft.
The inside of the house is divided
into two rooms; the larger room is
the general scratching shed and the
