LESSON IX. 



Two Plain Cheap Poultry Houses of Simple Con- 

 struction. 



" S" THIS lesson I will describe and explain the construction ol two poultrv houses I have 

 heen using — the single house for three, the other for four years. I take ud thess plans 

 first for two reasons: A good many readers of these lessons are askin;: what kind of 

 house I prefer; the construction is about as simple as it is possible to make it, and the 

 cost about as low as it can be made in a house built of new material without patching:. 



In some places short cheap boards (box boards) may be obtained, and with them houses 

 may be built at less cost per fowl than in these houses, but the boards are very often of such 

 tliiality that a house built of them needs to be covered with something else to make it i^ok 

 well, to say nothing of making it tight — 11 that Is considered necessary.
