 POULTRY RAISING 



Plans. Select at least a dozen well-bred hens of any good 

 egg-laying strain for this project. 



Housing. Build (or equip one already built) a poultry 

 house according to good poultry house standards. One would 

 not desire a house smaller than 8 feet by 10 feet. One hun- 

 dred hens may be housed in a building 20 feet by 20 feet. 

 The essentials of a good poultry house are : 



1. Freedom from dampness. 



2. Freedom from draughts.
