CHICKS 



set on edge and allowed to project a few inches at one 

 end. These projecting ends should be rounded up to serve 

 as runners and a cross-piece nailed on from the end of one 

 to the end of the other to which a whiffletree may be at- 

 tached when it is desired to move the house from one lo- 

 cation to another. In this case the transverse sills (those 

 across the ends of the house) should not be more than 

 four inches wide and set on edge between the wider ones 

 making the tops of all sills level. This will make a space 

 of four inches between the transverse sills and the ground 

 so that they will not be in the way when moving t he house.
