There are as many types of chicken
houses as there are of poultry raisers,
and but few of these houses approach
the ideal, asserts n. L. Harris, super
intendent of the poultry plant, Kansas
Agricultural college.
1.-THE ideal chicken house should be
at least 20 feet long and Is feet WIDE"
says Mr.. Harris. 1.-THE height should
be such as will be convenient to the OPP
erator-about nine feet in front and
not less than four feet at the back.
with house of these dimensions,
there wilt be no frozen combs, even in
severe winter weather. Frozen combs
usually result from keeping poultry in
small houses where good ventilation
is a difficult matter.
There is no question that cement
is the best floor for poultry houses

DEVELOP OOCYTES FOR EGGS
No Hen Lives Long Enough to Produce
More Than Small Pecentaqe of
UndeveIoped Eggs.

Automatically every normal hen
would appear to be fitted to become
a good layer. Certain it is that no
hen lives long enough, or remains
in condition long enough, to develop
all, or more than a small percent
age of the undeveloped eggs on her
ovary. In counts made at Maine
experiment station from GA to 1905
oocytes (undeveloped eggs) were
found in the ovaries of some Is hens
examined, and only those visible to
the unaided eye were counted. Three
hens showed better than 1000 oocytes
each five showed better than 1900
undevelopeu eggs each; five better
than 1000 each; and one yielded a
count of 1905 undeveloped eggs.
In the investigations 1t was shown
that the number of oocytes visible
on the ovary bore no definite or
allied egg production Of the speci-
men.
Apparently actual egg production
depends upon many things besides he
reditary characteristics and anatomical
differences. 1t is easy to understand
that influences which affect the indi-
vidual specimen may play very large
part in producing conditions favorable
to maturing the. undeveloped eggs
Of the ovary and the actual laying Of
same. Potentially, from an anatom-
ical standpoint, almost every len is
a. thousand-egger or better.
1t remains for US to develop and OBJ
tain the eggs. OF course, many oocytes
never develop and mature. Hens
which have made a record Of 1000
eggs in their lifetime are still rare
birds.

since such a floor is sanitary, vermin
proof, and easily cleaned"
The manner of lighting and venti-
lating poultry house is always i'm
portant, in the opinion of Mr.. Harris.
Too much glass in a poultry house
raises the temperature in the day and
permits rapid radiation at night. The
resulting wide variation of day and
night temperatures is always injurious
to the health of the fowls.
Probably the best means of providing
adequate light and ventilation is to
Ehaye two windows in the south side of
the building with a ciotn curtain be-
tween. During stormy days, while the
curtain is closed, the windows will pro
vide sufficient light and the curtains
will allow sufficient ventilation Without
| permitting drafts.

MILK IN FEEDING CHICKENS
VIII Greatly Increase Egg Production
Carbohydrates Do Not Offset
Necessity of Protein.

The use of milk in feeding chickens
Will greatly increase egg production.
The hen never lays an egg until
all the ingredients necessary for the
complete development of a chick are
present.
Since the egg contains protein as
well as carbohydrates, any amount OF
carbohydrates fed in the form of grain
VIII not offset the necessity of protein
Milk given to the birds, either as a
drink or in the form of wet mash, will
greatly increase egg production.

FEEDING CORN TO CHICKENS
Wasteful Practice Where Fowls Are
Confined and Not Given Greens,
Charcoal and Line.

Feeding corn to hens of no particu-
lar breed shut up in small quarters will
not get enough eggs to pay. But pure
bred stock, bred by a breeder who
knows his business, If given chance,
will make good use of good feed.
Chickens need variety. Feed them a
variety Of grains, green's, charcoal,
lime, plenty of grit, and If 1t is neces-
sary to confine them, feed fresh meat
twice a week.
If in houses keep them plenty warm
and dry.
Do not forget to keep them well sup
oiled With water.
