68 POULTRY 
Partitions. If two or more compart- 
ments or pens are to be built, the best par- 
tition is one made of boards running the 
width of the building and up to a height of a 
foot above the roosts. The remainder of the 
partition should be of inch-mesh wire. 
This gives good circulation of air, especially 
in the upper part of the henhouse toward 
the back part. Also, it gives more sunlight 
in all of the pens because, as the sun is 
setting toward the west, it will shine diagon- 
ally through the open spaces of the parti- 
tions, and in the same manner the morning 
sun will shine diagonally. 
While this particular type of henhouse is 
not the only good house that has been built 
in this country, it is a house that will give 
satisfaction anywhere and it provides all the 
requirements of a good house.
