SMALL, MOVABLE HEN HOUSE
One Found Satisfactory After Much
Experimenting—Built on Runners
to Facilitate Moving.
After experimenting with several
sizes and styles of poultry houses wo
have decided that the small, movable
house is best of all, writes PJrs. W. H.
Bush in the Missouri Valley Farmer.
It is built upon runners so that a team
may be hitched to It for moving, and
should not bo larger than S by 12 feet,
Exterior View.
7 feet high in front and 5 at the back.
A good, tight floor Ir laid, and the
walls inside are covered with rubber-
old roofing, the same as Is used on
the roof. Walls thus covered are draft,
and mite proof, as well as warm and
neat looking.
Dropping boards xve built 2>s feet
above the floor, along the back wall,
the roosts being placed a foot above,
suspended from the ceiling by wires.
In front of roosts is a canvas curtain
reaching from the ceiling to within a
foot of the floor. The door and win-
dows are fitted with screens aud also
canvas curtains, which are for use at
night and for stormy days. A house
arranged in thi* way insures the
chickens against drafts and at the
same provides plenty of fresh, purvi
air.
The floor space, being clear, Is used
ns a scratching pen, f*ir liens, to do
well in winter, must be kept busy
Nest baxes are placed at each end of
Ihe building or along the front be-
neath the windows.
In summer the houses are moved
frequently to fresli ground, as when
chickens run continuously over the
same lot the ground becomes foul and
unhealthy. When winter cornea the
bouses are moved and arranged in a
row along the middle of a large yard,
which has previously been sown to
wheat, and furnishes the flock with
'nterior View.
green feed till spring. The lot Is di-
vided by the row of houses aud a little
fencing into two parts, which are used
alternately. Forty to fifty hens may
be kept in this manner In a house
such as I have described.
TRIAL OF HOPPER FEEDING
Test at West Virginia Station Show*
Egg Production at Lower Cost
Than Other System.
In bulletin 130 of the West Virginia
station a report ia given of a trial of
the hopper feeding system for poul-
try, which was installed In order to
save labor. In a year's test, with five
pens of white-Leghorns, the eost of
food varie4JjF0m Accents to $1,04 per
fowl per year, and averaged 90 rents
per fowl for the 100 fowls in the ex-
periment.
The egg production varied from
SI.4 eggs per hen. when fed principally
upon corn, to 217 in the pen which
received whole grain once per day,
seattered In litter, and dry mash and
beef scrap w ithout limit in a hopp-r
The food eost, of the eggs during year
varied from 8 5 rents to 11 9 cents per
dozen. Two pens, hopper fed, pro-
duced eggs having a lower food cost
than the pen which received moist-
ened mash, and tn this test there was
apparently no benefit from the extra
labor involved in moistening the mash.

Darkened nests discourage the egg-
eating habit.
The successful poultry raiser loves
his fowIs and his work.
You must provide other grit for the
chickens besides oyster shell.
Keep as many hens as you like,
hut do not keep too many in one
flock.
A little granulated charcoal mixed
In the soft feed is excellent In cases of
diarrhoea.
ThlB is the time of year when a
leaky roof on the poultry house needs
attention.
It is a reat period now for many of
the hens. It pays at this time to feed
them liberally.
A little more elbow grease used in
keeping the premises clean will often
prevent disease.
A hopperful of bran Is always sea-
sonable feed and the whole flock
should have access to it.
A comfortable home for the hens
may be constructed by a person who
has very little mechanical ability.
