READ THE "WANTS" The Ideal Housing For Future Layers At Minimum Expense Many Features Should Be Con sidered Before Deciding on Building Ventilation, Heat, Moisture, Sunshine, All Have Effect on Fiock. (By Reese V. Hicks.) ! Manager of Ruiicoorh Poultry Farms, I’-rownn Mill*. N. .! and for I *r»-Hulorit <»' the Amerl<;inilJetHtry Asaoriation. (< ’<»il' i 4 i Ynu liTiMfoiiM*- unless \ou .111 ;»1 /; «• ' our r« - Ton o mil m-itii'v invested I per bird Is as disastrous as too little. 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 three or four sections hy riming parti tion* for a putt of the distance from Iha it*i tu the fa out about vue third i > iv... r ,'j ko'~.

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.
