ing downward on the outside over
the inside a screen is placed to pre-
vent chicks from flying into it, and
a damper is fitted in the elbow to
control the intake of fresh air.
The house is ceiled on the inside
face of the studding, and to the under
side of the collar beams which tie the
rafters together. Where the stove
pipe passes through this ceiling on
its way to the chimney, a ventilating
well or duct is built about 80 inches
square, which is fitted with doors
to regulate the escape of foul air into
the loft space above. This loft space
in turn is ventilated by an opening
in either gable, fitted with lowers,
or oblique Stats like a Venetian blind,
to keep out rains.
The front of the house contains
three large sash which make up the
greater part of the wall, and fairly
food the interior with sunlight. These
windows are hinged at the top and
made to open outward, permitting ad-
ditional ventilation on very warm
days. Each end OF the house has
large SASH arranged horizontally,
and the upper half of the entrance
door may be of glass. In the summer
time when the brooder is being used
as colony house, or when occupied
as a laying house, the front sash may
be removed at the discretion of the
attendant, and curtain frames of mus
lin substituted. The building is then
converted into practically an open
front house.

Rearing Young Stock is
Troublesome Unless the
Proper Facilities are Pro-

Design for a Combination
BrOOder Colony Laying
House of Simple Ideas
BY ROBERT ARMSTRONG
EXPORT POultrYman and Writer

1t has been conclusively proven that
IL chickens are to be raised in large
numbers on really profitable basis,
they must be Matched artificially. If
incubatcd aPtificially then they must
be broodcd by artificial heat; for a
chick requires a temperature of from
80 TO 100 degrees for the first month
or six weeks of its life. The success
of a poultry plant depends upon these
two processes, more especially brood
ing. Most of the difficulties are due
to improper brooding facilities-eithcr
defective brooding apparatus or the
brOoder house is to blame. This ar
a brooder house of known practabil-
ity. l..
Hatching is comparatively simple.
If given strong fertile eggs, reliable
incubators are almost certain to bring
off satisfactory matches. The machines
are usually operated in THE cellar,
where the temperature is fairly uni
form, and they are probably closely
assembled so that it is easy to care
for them. But after the Matching
from the time the chicks leave the
shelter of the incubator until they are
ten days old; in fact, until they are
weaned from the brooder, come en-
tirely different circumstances. The
poultryman is liable to regard life as
a very serious proposition during this
period. If things do not break right
no phase of poultry raising is likely
to prove so distressing and trouble
some as the rearing of young stock
Yet, if this part of the work can be
accomplished without serious mishap
it is a truly delightful, interesting task
Chicks require warmth, sunshine
fresh air, exercise and stimulating
food. With the exception of the lat
ter, all of these essentials are OBJ
tained by tn brooder. Yes, even ex-
.ercise is governed by conditions found
in the brooder. without which leg
weakness and countless other troubles
result.
Methods of Chick Rearing
There are many kinds of brooding
apparatus and a wide variety of
brooder houses; lack of space forbids
a detailed description of them. In the
main they are divided into three gen.
eral classes: /, the small outdoor
brooder, of about fifty chick capacity
2, the long brooder house with marrow
pens and yards, heated by overhead
hot water pipes or Individual lamps
3. the colony brooder of 500 to l 500
chick capacity, heated by liquid-fuel-
