not always possible to so place the buildings that the greatest convenience in 
doing the work is secured. Fig. 23 shows how, if there is available a piece 
of level or gently sloping, (to the south or southeast) ground, 4oo ft. long, 
east and west, and 200 ft. wide, a large poultry plant arranged to permit the 
work to be done for days at a time without going from under cover, can be 
placed on it. (It is, of course, understood that on this space only the build- 
ings and yards are placed. There must be additional room for rearing chicks

would not accommodate the stock on hand during spring and early summer 
months). Such an arrangement has immense advantages. The plant is very 
compact. All supplies are conveniently stored. Practically every part of the 
plant is accessible by wagon. But the best thing about the plan is that bad
