FIRST LESSONS IN 1'OULIRY 



LESSON IX. 



Two Plain Cheap Poultry Houses of Simple Con- 

 struction. 



IN THIS lesson I will describe and explain the construction of two poultry houses I have 

 been using the single house for three, the other for four years. I take uu thess plans 

 first for two reasons: A good many readers of these lessons are asking what kind of 

 house I prefer; the construction is about as simple as it is possible to make it, and the 

 cost about as low as it can be made in a house built of new material without patching. 



In some places short cheap boards (box boards) may be obtained, and with them houses 

 may be built at less cost per fowl than in these houses, but the boards are very often o' such 

 quality that a house built of them needs to be covered with something else to make it j^ok 

 well, to say nothing of making it tight if that Is considered necessary. 



A House for a Dozen Fowls.
