PLAN OF HOUSE FOR THE BACK YARD 



The plan herewith shown is an excellent one for the 

 fancier who has a backyard and desires a special house 

 for his birds. The dimensions of "houses may be varied 

 to suit the size of yard, running from fence to fence. 

 The framework should be substantially built, and board- 

 ed on the otitside with tongued and grooved siding; the 

 inner side should be boarded also with the same kind of 

 material, and, if possible, the space between the walls 

 should be filled with sawdust. The floor should be 

 made of tongued and grooved material securely nailed 

 to the timbers below. The underneath part of the roof 

 should be lined with the same material as the sides, 

 and the outside of roof should be shingled or covered 

 with tin. Where the house joins the fence the cracks 

 should be well covered to prevent rain from leaking 

 through, and every precaution should be taken to keep 

 the interior of house free " from dampness.
