fig. 94). E, F, D, G and H are living and roosting rooms, 

 each 6x10, with nest boxes 1, 2, 3, 4. The partitions and 

 doors (See I and 5 of fig. 94) are closely boarded to the 

 height of 2 ft., above which is poultry netting. N, O, K. L. 

 M are the scratching sheds — single boarded. In the roof 

 are placed windows (8) sufficient to admit plenty of light. 

 Two large windows (13, 13) are also placed in each end. 

 At 9, 9, 9, 9, 9 are placed windows over the small doors to 

 allow plenty of light to the living rooms. The partitions 

 here too are boarded to a height of 2 ft. Poultry wire is 

 excellent for these purposes in order to admit free diffusion 

 of the light admitted through the roof. No floor is placed in 

 the scratching shed. Large doors are placed at 10 (the front 

 door), 16, 15 and 14 to allow free access with a wheelbarrow 

 if necessary. 14 may be merely a storm door, 16 as well as 

 all the other partition doors are boarded up 2 ft. from the 

 bottom, the remaining portion of slats or netting. 10 and 16 

 are warmly built and well fitted.
