There is no roost provided in Cut (5, but two scantlings may be laid across the 

 house, on top of the wall side of the brooder, which will accommodate about fifty 

 good-sized birds. 



Material of any sort of planed lumber may be used, though it is well to secure

Cut 2. End elevation of brooder. Note sloping run to floor, hinged cover, remov- 

 able side panel AA on base of brooder. In the centre of this is a small door made of 

 % -inch mesh galvanized wire. Through this door the lamp is withdrawn for filling 

 and cleaning. The panel AA is removed from the brooder, is dismantled, and the 

 whole superstructure is then packed away under the base. See text for further 

 explanation. 



Cut 3. Section through middle of brooder. Note cloth cover and side, large space 

 between floor of brooder and floor of house, in which the lamp is placed while the 

 brooder is ia operation, and which serves as a storage place for the whole upper part 

 of the brooder when the latter is not in use.
