FARMER'S HEN HOUSE
One Illustrated Used for Years
With Much Success.
Building Will Accommodate About
140 Hens and Is Really Built In
12-Foot Sections — Covered
With Roofing Paper.
The accompanyiug illustrations
show a practical farmer’s hen house
which has been in use with good suc-
cess for two or three years, writes R.
R. Slocum of New York in the Na-
tional Stockman and Farmer. The
house is 12 feet by 48 feet and will
accommodate about 140 hens. It is
really built in 12-foot sections, or at
least the arrangement is repeated in
each 12 feet, that is to say each 12
feet has a window and an cpening in
the front.
The entire framework is of 2x4 stuff
except the front and back sills, which
are ccmposed of two 2x6 pieces laid
one on top of the other. Each end
floor joist is two 2x4 pieces laid one
on top of the other. The joists are 20
inches apart from center. The raft-

ers are 30 inches apart. The whole
building should be set about 18 inches
from the ground on 16 cement or
wooden supports. The walls and floor
are made of 4-inch and b-inch hard
pine matched stuff. The roof is 12-
inch boards planed on the outside sur
faces but unmatched. They are cov-
ered with a prepared roofing paper
which is carried down the back of the
house.
The window is made of two ordi-
nary window sash nailed together by
means of strips along the sides. The
storm sash thus made in hinged at
the side and opens like a door. It is
a great convenience when cleaning
the house. The openings in the front
of the house are covered on the out-
side with fine mesh wire netting. On
the inside each is fitted with a mus-
lin-covered frame hinged so that it can
be made to close the opening at will.
The opening is not closed except on
cold nights and especially stormy
days.
A dropping board three feet wide
runs along the back of the house, two
feet six inches from the floor for its
entire length. Three feet of the drop-
ping board in each 12 feet is taken up
by a coop for confining broody hens.
In the front and back wzlls of each 12
feet are openings a foot square and
6 inches from the floor to let the hens
g0 in and out. The nests are placed

against the back wall over the drop-
ping boards. They could be placed
under the dropping boards by raising
the latter. Ordinary galvanized pails
are used for the drinking water and
home-made hoppers for the ground
feed.
As stated before, this house has
been very successful despite the fact
that Leghorns are kept in it and the
winters since it was built have been
severe. Muslin curtains are arranged
80 that they can be dropped down in
front of the roosts on very cold nights.
This house was built for less than $150
including the cost of some hired la-
bor.
Small Stock Fattening.
That chickens intended for market
should be divided into small flocks
and should be fed heavily on fatten-
ing feeds while giving them range in
a small grass enclosure is the belief
of Prof. James G. Halpin of the Col-
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. It has been found that
as a rule the average farmer pays lit»
tle or no attention to the fattening of |
his market fowls, taking them to mar-
ket directly from the range.
A mixture of four parts of ground
corn and one part of wheat bran mix-
ed with enough sour skim milk to
make it crumbly moist is the ration
according to Professor Halpin, who
recommends that they be fed only
such quantities of feed as they will
clean up in twenty minutes.
Rye a Poor Ration.
Rye is the poorest of poultry grains.

Materials are so elaborate and
combined in such striking ways, that
only the initiated realize how much
the trend is toward simplicity of
line. Waists are loose to bagginess,
and skirts draped to follow suit un-
til near the line at the foot where
they all manage in some fashion to
attain the ‘‘Peg-top’’ effect. Slash-
es and other devices are a boon for
comfortable walking, and a positive
necessity for the dancing that meets
one at every turn aftereleven o’clock
in the morning. Silks, crepes, flower-
ed gauzes, and printed chiffons are
used in an indescribable profusion
of loyely designs, and cottons riyal
these in texture, fabric finish and
colorings, nor are the wore expen-
sive cottons a whit behind in price.

opportunity for the use of dainty
