(4) Put plastic over the end doors. (5) And keep your windows and curtains tightly closed. If you’re building a new broiler house you’ll certainly want to do these things There's one big danger, though, when you take these steps, cautions the engineer. Reducing infiltration increases the risk when you have a power failure in the house.

The tune it takes for buds to die or for heat to reach fatal levels depends on the age of the buds. It may be less than three hours. When the fans don’t operate as they should, you can expect the house temperature to reach 100 degreesF If you’re going to rely on natural summer ventilation, you want to orient your poultry house east-west on Delmarva, as noted by Walpole. And the house shouldn’t be any wider than 45 feet. This is why it may be possible to ventilate narrow shed roof houses better ... only from MUELLER! , Manheim, PA 17545 than wider ones. Buildings also must be spaced properly if you intend to use natural ventilation. This means allowing 100 to 150 feet between each unit. If houses are too close, wind that is deflected over the first won’t get back to the ground for maximum unpact on the second one. On Delmarva, growers aren’t using this much distance between units, probably because of the space required. Also, smce they use some mechanical fan assistance, they’re not totally dependent on natural ventilation. Fans are needed in this part of the country because the wind can’t always be relied on. Weather data analysis shows that in the summer we’re quite likely to have periods of up to six hours without any wind at all, says Collins. ■FRONT TRACTOR TIRES l $0095 Triple Rib R/S 1% && S |Ze 500x15 $OO4O *OO4O 4 ply rating Plus 69 *OX 07 FET and old tire Size Size 11L-15 100016 • Shock absorbing nylon 6 ply rating 6 ply rating cord body pi us 2 48 Plus 245 • Easy steering three rib p ETand FET and | r , old tire old tire • Low low prices ••■■■■■_ Jy&\ @ TOUGH TRUCK TIRE Tracker LT Blackwall LRC plus S 3 11 FET and old tire Goodyear On-Farm Tire Service Is Just A Phone Call Away BUCK Wenger Implement Co Ph 284-4141 iLM.
