SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS
New Lumber Will Make Best Appear
ance, but Packing Boxes Will
Answer Purpose Well.

In building a poultry house, new
lumber will of course make the best
appearing structure and will also he
somewhat easier to work up because
it can be bought in lengths most
advantageous for the purpose. Houses
for few hens can sometimes be
constructed from packing boxes, while
used material or secondhand lumber,
IL it can be purchased cheaply and
is close at hand, will sometimes lower
the cost of the house materially.
Occasionally, also, where high
board fence is available, the house can
be built i'm the corner of the fence,
thus saving the construction of the
back and one side Of the house. Care
must be used to cover or batten the
cracks, either by means of strips or
by the use of roofing paper. Construct
the building so that the front of your
henhouse will admit the sunlight.
