STRIVING FOR WINTER EGGS
Room, W a rm th , V e n tila tio n and Light,
Are Among Most E s » n t i a l Fac
tors With Hens.
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.

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.

Listening in Hen House at Night for
Deep Breathing or Rattle in

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
