POULTRY SECRETS REVEALED. 31 



freezing. The house Is cool in the summer, however, as with the wire- 

 protected doors and windows wide open, there is a constant circulation 

 of air. The house is relatively warm in winter because there is no 

 dead, damp air to chill the birds. 



The old fashioned and unsanitary dropping boards are not used 

 in this house. The night droppings fall into the litter and as this is 

 changed weekly there is no odor. 



The house was built by taking ten of the sectional houses made 

 by the Buckeye Incubator Co., of Springfield, Ohio, and putting them 

 into position facing each other — five on a side. The fronts were 

 held in reserve. The high sides faced at a distance of six feet, the 

 partitions resting on boards nine inches wide. An additional roof was 

 built, carrying it up so as to allow for the "Monitor" top. The fronts 

 were utilized, so there was no waste of lumber. This made a first 

 class house at far less cost than had we bought the lumber and built 

 outright. And if one uses but two houses it is equally available.
