REMODELING POULTRY HOUSE
Many Stuffy Old Structures Can Be

Cost Is Small.

Many farms have old style, closed

ventilation; also old sheds and other
buildings of little use for other pur-
poses that can be remOdeled or built
over with little difficulty into salts
! factory poultry houses, according to

A building Of that kind usually can

more, the work performed in remodel
ing the building serves as a good
