FEELS NEED OF BR0OnER
HOUSE FOR CHICKS

BOHEMIAN. Mar. 10 PLENTY of flooi.
SPACE. CLEANLINESS, adequate Lighting
and ventilation are the essentials Of a
brooder house, says Miss n. E. Cush
man, extension poultry specialist at
Montana State College
The colony type Of brooder house
has gained considerable popularity IN
Montana because Of the oheapness Of
construction, convenience and its adar-
tation to the average farm flock. The
long house type finds favor only
where several thousand chicks are be-
ing brooded and where il can be heat
ed by a central heating plant
A 10 feet by IL feet brooder house
will accommodate about 400 chicks.
which also is the upper limit Of the
number that safely may be brooded
under a 52-inch hover. The size Of
the flock should govern the amount or
floor space Usually one square foot
is considered sufficient for each two
and one-half chicks A colony brooder
house has an advantage in that it is
small enough to be built on skids for
moving from place to place
A 12x12 brooder house equipped
with a shed roof seven feet high in
front, five feet high in rear. combina-
ton front and tight wood floor meets
the requirements for ventilation and
lighting Such house will keep dry.
Adequate ventilation without draft
has been quite problem. BY having
the front windows open outward and
small hinged doors in the caves, direct
draft is prevented and yet there Is
plenty of ventilation in al kinds Of
weather. Glass or glass substitute may
be used for windows.

house may be obtained through any

income tax law for the state. Both
measures were defeated. If the reduc-
