HOUSING 47 



have the house warm. Of course, the inside sheathing may or 

 may not he used as tlie owner prefers; I hardly think it would 

 li(! necessary except in very cold climates. 



In planning this house the writer has in some cases shown 

 larger size timbers than are absolutely necessary but I do 

 consider that in order to get a good job the proper size m.-iterials 

 must be put into it. 



There are some who argue against the house with a corridor 

 or aisle. We all appreciate tlie fact that this aisle dues cost 

 a little more to be constructed than if the house had none at 

 all. In order to suit as many as i)ossible I have designed this 

 particular house with the aisle yet I have also, on other jiages, 

 shown houses without same. 



P^or ventilation we have louvre or slatted \\iudo\\s in eacli 

 end of the gable. To guard against sparrows getting in het\\eeu 

 the slats we sliould put a wire screen over the backs of these 

 slats. 



For the breeder wlio does not carry over twenty pairs of hii-ds 

 this would make an excellent house for he could use the oth'.T 

 pen as a rearing pen for youngsters.
