Suggestions for Fronts of Scratching Shed Houses, 
Fig. 17, 
(p- 38) shows how a scratching shed house may be built with 
RK a passage from which each pen and shed is entered without 
| passing through others. The pens are in two wings, running 
east and west from a two story building 
containing work shop, cook room and 
store room. In the original plan each 
wing, containing ten sections, was 180 
ft. long. In the plan here given the 
length of the wings has been reduced to 
bring the illustration within the limits 
of the page. The walk is separated, by 
a tight partition, from pens and sheds, 
and is lighted by half-windows in the 
north wall, which in the original plan 
contained besides these openings a door 
every 60 ft. With wings as short as in 
the plan given, a door at the extreme 
end of each wing is all that is needed. 
This house has a low stone foundation. 
The floors are filled to the level of the 
sills with earth.
