The Missouri poultry house original ly designed several years ago by the poultry department of the Missouri College of Agriculture, and now in general use I b * b m ) : * , *‘1’ Dominion of Canaila, allows two ami two-thirds square feet of floor space for each hen. One nest is provided for every six hens, and enough roosts are supplied to give each hen a re served seat eight Inches apart. This extremely practical poultry house has a number of special fea tures which have proved helpful in getting high winter production. Light Is admitted from all directions by means of six-light glass windows, two in front, two in each side and one in the rear. There are, therefore, uo dark corners in tills house. Since light comes In from all sides the hens scratch in all directions and the litter never piles up. A 30-lnch wire-covered opening, one foot from the floor and extending from each side of the door the entire width of the front, gives the Missouri poul try house gcxal ventilation. During the winter the success of ventilation of this type depends upon having the east, west, and north sides and the roof entirely air-tight so that wind will drive into the house only a short distance and never back to the roosts which are on the north side. There is a grailual movement of the air from the Inside out, thus Insuring nn abun dance of ventilation without drafts. The straw loft is another distinctive feature. Joists or collar beams are placed In the house Just high enough to afford head room. In ortler to pre vent the birds from roosting on these, they are covered with Inch boards four Inches wide, placed two inches apart. This forms a loft which is Ailed with straw. The straw acts as a sort of sponge by absorbing both dampness and beat and helps to keep the house drier and wanner in winter and cooler in summer. Using this poultry house, 238 demon stration farm flocks owners In 37 Mis souri counties last year got 125 eggs per hen nnd a profit of $2.88 per hen. Extension Circular 101, sent free by the Missouri Agricultural extension service, Columbia, Mo., gives plans, lumber bill and directions to enable anyone to build a poultry house of this type. P R A C T I C A L N E S T FOR H E N S Built of Good Quality of Lumber They Can Be Made Any Length De sired by Poultryman. The nests shown in the accompany ing picture are very practical. They are built of a good quality of lumber planed on both skies and can be made of any length desired. Individual nests are 14 inches square, 12 inches high In front and the front board Is re movable for cleaning. At the rear of the nest Is a 1 by 4 inch board to hold the nest material In place. The hens enter and leave through a door at one end which may be closed at night to keep sitting hens from stay ing on the nests. Fine alfalfa hay is a much better nesting material than straw because the hollow stems of the latter make Ideal breeding places for mites. W ATC H F O R ROUP S YMP TOM S Listening in Hen House at Night for Deep Breathing or Rattle in Throat of Fowls. Go Into the hen house at night and listen diligently for a short while. It is a good way to detect a cold or the first symptoms of roup in the flock. Birds breathing hard or rattling In their throat should be taken off the roosts and carefully examined, and. If affected in any way, removed to a coop or apartment away from the rest of the flock. W I N T E R A T T E N T I O N TO H EN S Fowls Must Be Fed to Grow New Coat of Feathers and Regain Their Lost Vitality. Market all hens except those known fo be good layers. During the winter months bens must be fed so as to grow their new cost of feathers, re gain vitality lost through heavy egg production, put bn soffi* flesh ^tnd be rs*dy to produce eggs of strong viui- ity in time for the hatching season.
