which provide the ventilation, and which are hung 
down between the windows, are 3x 6%4 feet in 
size, and are hinged at the top to swing back into 
the building, where they may be fastened up out 
of the way during pleasant weather. Later expe- 
rience has shown that this house contains more 
glass than is really necessary. 
Modern Continuous House No. 2. This build- 
ing is 14 feet wide; 7 feet high in the front and 5 
feet high in the rear. The roof is covered with 
roofing fabric, hence a lesser degree of slope is 
required than were the roof shingled. This house 
is divided into five pens, each pen having one glass 
and one muslin window, which furnish both light 
and ventilation in ample quantities. The construc- 
tion of the front and the roof of this house is 
somewhat simpler and less expensive than House 
No. 1. 
Modern Continuous House No. 3. This build- 
ing differs from No. 2 only in length (having four 
pens instead of five) and in a few minor details, 
such as the location of the henholes, size of the 
window lights, and the arrangement of the muslin 
curtains, which in No. 2 are made all in one section 
in each sash, and in No. 3 are made in two frames 
and slide up and down, the same as the glass win- 
dows. This picture also shows what an attractive 
coat of paint will do for a poultry house. The
