CHICKENS NEED
HEAT AND LIGHT

Fowls that are wintered in cold
parts of the country. where the tenn
perature runs below freezing to 20 de-
greeS or more below zero, need cOnSid-
cradle protection. When the cold is
so intense that the fowl is uncomfort-
able. certain part of the heat and
energy from the food eaten is used to
combat this low temperature and the
food which is required for that pur-
pose cannot, of course. be used TO
manufacture eggs Therefore, the
construction of the house varies with
the temperature or part of country in
which 1t Is to be used. A thin and
partly open house is best for warmer
climates, but must have reasonably
thick walls and be capable of being
closed quite tightly on severe nights
in cold sections. 1t is comparatively
cheap to make house warm by using
several thicknesses of inexpensive tar
paper. and If better looking struc-
ture is wanted, other methods can be
employed. In any event, the house
must be made comfortable.
A dark poultry house is unhealthful
and uncomfortable. There should be
plenty of windows to let in light so
that the house is bright and they
should be kept clean so that the sun
can shine in to warm and brighten
the interior. The direct rays of the
sun will kill every germ of disease
that 1t touches and that in itself is i'm
portant. Too much glass is disad-
vantage. because the house warns up
too much in the daytime when the
fowls are busy and cools down too
rapidly at night when they are on the
roosts. Windows should have both
upper and lower sash so that they can
be lowered and raised to let in little
or much air according to the outside
temperature. If there Is too mucn
window space reduce it; If there Is
too little increase it.
