For convenience it is often advisable to have house sheets 

 for recording the laying record for the birds in the house dur- 

 ing that week. These sheets are 83/2" x 15^" size and accom- 

 modate 30 birds. They have a 2" margin on the left for bind- 

 ing. The heading and arrangement of columns on one of these 

 house sheets are shown in facsimile (reduced) in Fig. 12.
