Good Time to Build that Poultry
House-Many new poultry houses
should be built during the period
September IA to October 8, which
was set aside for a better housing
campaign by the agricultural extern
sion service of the university and the
farm bureau.
"At least all houses poorly con-
structed and out of date should be
improved and made more comfort
able for the farm flock" says N. E.
Chapman, poultry, University Farm.
"The sides and ceiling should be
properly insulated to exclude the
cold of winter and conserve the heat
produced by the fowls.
Proper ventilation will provide
fresh pure air at all times and carry
off the damp air from the flock. The
house should be properly lighted, but
too much glass will radiate cold at
night. One square foot of glass to
every four hens will make their quart
ers light and cheerful"
The poultry house campaign OPEN
ed on Monday. Let's all help to
make it success.
