A House Built of Single Thickness

vided Through Doors and Windows,
Is All That Is Required.
Quently taken. Warmth is sought at
greatly increased overhead expense by
putting in double walls, double floors,
interlaid paper, ceilings, ETC., when
single thicknesses we'll laid to pre-
vent drafts are sufficient except in
localities where the winters are eX-
tremely severe.
No Need for VentiIating Systems.
Complicated and costly ventilating
systems are sometimes used when just
as good results would be obtained ip
the production Of eggs by using win
dows and open fronts, closed when
necessary by glass and cloth. Wood
has been found the best material for
house construction in most cases, al
though satisfactory buildings of other
materials are in use. Concrete makes
a good floor If built over a well-drained
foundation, but if the poultry house is
built entirely of this material it is
liable to be too damp.
TONES and various concotions add
to the expense of maintaining many
flocks when they might very well be
eliminated. Plenty of feed of the
right kind, exercise, and comfortable
quarters make the best health regula-
tors and are unequaled as stimulants
Of egg production. 1t has been the
experience Of poultry raisers that a
sick hen is best treated by an applica-
ton of the Ratchet.
Strange to say, the inexperienced
person who is tempted to spend money
for unnecessary construction in the
house and superfluous equipment is
often inclined to be niggardly when it
comes to paying out money for the
foundation of his flock, prices for
market poultry serving as his guide
as to what is the proper price to pay.
1t is not good business to pay fancy
prices to obtain birds of the highest
excellence for it takes an experienced
poultryman to realize on their pos
sibilitieS.
If the location Of a poultry business
is q matter Of choice, there are a num-
Der of things to be considered. Often
the proximity of a good or special
market for eggs and chickens will
determine the selection.
Rule for Figuring Expenses.
1t is sometimes rather troublesome
for the owner Of a poultry flock to
determine with much accuracy just
what 1t costs him to maintain a flock
of laying hens. Experience derived
from the egg-laying contests conducted
by the Farm bureau at Santa Cruz,
has resulted in the formulation of a
rule that should be useful in arriving
at the approximate cost. This rule
may be expressed as follows: All
of the expense for maintaining flock
of laying hens, apart from the cost
of grain and mash but including mis-
cellaneous supplies, interest on invest
ment, depreciation, all labor but that
of the owner, etc, amounts to ap-
proximately two-thirds of the cost Of
the grain and mash. In other words,
the cost of the grain and mash is 60
per cent and all other expenses 40
per cent of the total.
