The Ideal Housing For Future
Layers At Minimum Expense
Many Features Should Be Con

Ventilation, Heat, Moisture,

The Important question is to provide
for vour layers comfortable, sunny, well
j ventilated, dry quarters built sub
stantially and all without extraordi
nary expense. ft enn be done. Read
the following article and learn how
In housing layers an important item
is to hold down the cost of the house,
and at the same time give a house
that will meet the ideal requirements
for high egg production. Money in
vested in a house that Is not absolute
ly necessary is dead capital and brings
no return on the investment. On the
other hand, the house should have cer
tain substantial considerations or there
is less if) low egg production or In the
health of the flock. Ts SIO,OOO Is in
vested In n house for 1,000 hens when
$2,000 would have housed them Just
ns satisfactorily, the extra sS.ftft6 Is
money thrown away. The price for
housing future layers varies with the
style of building. Two dollars per
bird is the top price and fifty cents is
perhaps the minimum that can ever
he hoped to he attained. The ideal
figure is about SI.OO per bird.
The roof of the house should he what
is known as shed type, sloping from
ithe front to the rear. light pene
trates better in a shed type and more
sunshine can get in than in any other
, style of house. In the winter the
sunshine will reach further hack In a
shed-type house. Whatever dead and
| foul air accumulates will rise to the
I roof and pass out through the front.
I The shed type is easy to build, turns
water to the rear, and the roof will
! last longer than any other kind.
Best Height of Roof.
The roof should he at least 5 feet
high in the rear and K feet in the front,
i'liis makes a good working height for
the attendant of the poultry. In build
ing cow stables it is a rule to allow
one cubic foot of air space for every
pound of live weight It is imprac
tical to follow this rule in poulty, as
it would make the house too small for
the attendant to enter. However, the
lower a roof is the warmer will he the
■ a If.
The floor wpii•*<* hliouM b* not If*xa
than to fixe squnro feet per hint
according to the breed. The larser
and henx ler breeds require more space
than the smaller and more active
breeds Also, where the lonic, con
tinuous house In used less space will
be required than where small colony
houses are used. However, It Is far
.nore economical to house r»00 hens In
one building than 100 hens each In five
houses. The most convenient size of
house for ROO hens is 14 feet deep and
100 feet long. Much a house will nice
ly accommodate 500 the
most popular breed for egg funning.
The best material for the floor Is ce
ment, and while it is exiutislve, it Is
rat proof, dry. sanitary anil lusting. A
cement floor should be covered at least
three Inches deep with a good nai.d,
nml a litter on top of that of not less
than six to twelve Inches. This is for
winter use For summer *Use the lit
tle need not be used, but only the sand.
Where sand canilot be obtained the lit
tle alone may be used. This litter
should he kept clean and sanitary, and
• hanged as often as may be necessary
in order that It may be dry and whole
some.
Requisites for Walls.
In building vhe walls for a poultry
house, temperature, dryness and purity
of air are the three main considerations.
A very econou leal wav to build a rea
sonable- priced wall and at the same
time get the maximum of comfort Wi
to use one thickness of lumber on the
north, o st and west sides and line It
inside with r»n»fing paper. For the
front windows should be placed alter
nately of glass and muslin In a
house 100 feet long there should be at
least I*o windows. 10 of glass and 10
of muslin The muslin windows should
be covered with wire net ting, so that
on favorable days the muslin windows
can be opened and the birds. If de
sired. confined In the house The doors
should open at the east and west ends
of the house
The poultry house should be built
level and on land us level as po**thl«*.
facing the south, and have Its southern
exposure gently sloping «way from It.
Wherever possible a hillside should be
avoided, as this makes the building
more costly and also more Inconvenient
for the care of the house
The foundation should be of cement
and not less than twelve Inches In the
ground in order to avoid freeslnf.
Owing to the pitch of the roof of a
shed type, building paper for roofing
is better than shingles. Tin is too
costly and too warm in summer, The
rafters should be of 2x4 material and
| not more than two feet apart.
The important thin* in a poultry
house is to keep it dry, of medium
temperaure and free from drafts dur
ing the winter time. Moisture In a
poultry house is «aused largely by con
densation from the hens' breath, evapo
! ration from the drinking water and
the droppings As » result the xentl
! Iwtton should be ample on one aide of
! Uu' house tthe front) to take off this
moisture. It is never advisable to ar
lifbialty heat a poultry house in which
grow n sow la are to be kept Of course
leaky roof* must be avoided
How to Prevant Drafts.
Drafts In poultry bouses are pre
vented by having the rear and two
soles as airtight as )»o*albte. and ven
tilating through the front only. The
doors at the end should be kept closed
during unfavorable weather A house
lb# feet long should be divided Into

the width of the house. This pre
vents drafts on the hens while they are
on the roosts.
The roosts should he on dropping
boards not exceeding three feet above
the floor. The best roosts are made
of 2x2 material, and these should run
lengthwise the entire length of the
house in three parallel rows about six
teen Inches apart They may be sup
ported on a trestle over the dropping
boards, or they may be fastened to
gether and hinged against the rear
wall It is best, however, to have
them so they may b«* easily removed
for cleaning, disinfecting and to fight
lice and mites.
Location of Nest Birds.
The nest boxes should be in front be
tween the windows, and covered with
a sloping top, one-half the top hinged
against the wall so it can be opened
in the daytime These tops should be
dosed down at night to prevent broody
bens from staying on the nests, and
the sloped top will prevent the hens
from roosting on it at night.
placed in this position can be easily
reached and the eggs gathered with
out the inconvenience when nest boxes
are placed under the dropping boards.
The water fountains should be sim
ple, and of a kind that are open, or
else can be easily opened up and thor
oughly cleaned. Any unused water
should be emptied outside the house.
They should be rinsed out daily.
The house should be equipped with
stationary grit and shell boxes, dry
mash hoppers and hoppers for beef
scrap it will also pay to use a sys
tem of automatic feeders and exercis
ers for winter feeding. These keep
the hens busy and save the attendant
frquont visits to the house to throw
the fowls grain on bad days.
Some houses are equipped with dust
baths, but where sand is used on the
floor with a liberal litter, these are
hardly necessary. liens prefer to
select their own dust baths, and if they
can find a sandy place on the floor in
warm sunshine, or In a suitable place
in the dirt outside they will attend to
their own dust bath.

will contribute an article on 'Utility

EVACUATE LILLE
FIR THIRD TIME
Germans Leaving Made Neces
sary by Allies Successful
Moves on Their Left Flank.
London, 2:03 a. m.—“ Lille has been
eeacuatod by the Germans for the third
time,'' says the Telegraph's corre
spondent in the north of Franoe. “This
evacuation was made necessary by the
Allies' capture of Lavenilae and Ks
taireg, which forced the Germans to
hastily leave the plain between Haze
brouck and Lille.
“Everywhere alone; our left flank we
have been successful and the Germans
are falling back under pressure which
they cannot resist. It is not even
certain that they will hold Ostend.
Refugees tell me that there were no
Germans In Ostend on Friday. “The
German army has not been defeated In
th western theatre of Its action but its
position is one of extreme peril. The
Allies took Bailleiul, 17 miles north
west of Lille on Thursday.”
