Portable pooltrj Douses.
IntliH time of scarcity and
hieh tmes ot feedme stuffs the
poultry mdustry has suffered
more than any uther branch of ag
rlculture, largely owing to the
fact that the food ot fowls has
been composed more largely of
erains than other livestock. So
manv fowls have been marketed
that an egg famine is to be ex
pec ted in the near future. J. T.
Campbell, of the Pennsylvania
Department ot Agriculture, says
"A small flock of good hens
will glean a large part of their
living from materials that would
otherwise be a total loss, hence
the farmer is better able to keep
a flock of hens than the poultry
specialist who must buy all the
fowls eat.
"Forty bens can be kept in a
light weight house built on a pair
of 4x6 inch runners. This build
mg can be 8x10 feet in s:ze and
just high enough to work in with
comfort A poultry house of this
kind can be moved about the farm
with a two horse team at any time
of the year. By the use of such
portable houses, the fowls can be
moved out in pasture fields where
. grass and insects will form con
siderable part of their food,
After harvest the bouse with
fowls in it can be drawn to grain
fields, where the birds will gather
scattered gram and insects and
lay a lot of eggs with but little
food or attention. The house can
again be drawn to a convenient
location for winter.
"Fowls kept on clean land and
allowed to glean about the farm
soon acquire vitality and health
which cannot be equaled under
any other cond itions.
"We have used such portable
houses for eighteen years with
great success. I have yet to find
a farmer who has . given these
portable poultry houses a trial,
returning to the old style per ma
neatly located poultry houses."

The Farmers' Home Journal
rises to speak a good word for the
hen and her part in winning the
war. "In all this talk about food
production the humble hen should
not be forgotten, because in a
rush job she is in a class by her
self. She can produce food in
the shape of eggs and meat, and
can reproduce herself more quick
ly than any other sort of live
stock, and in doing it can use up
more varieties of waste-food products."
