 at certain shows liave j)roved of considerable interest 

 Plans for Poultry to many visitors, and inquiries have been received 

 Houses. for working drawings of houses capable of erection 



at a minimum expense of money, time and labour. 

 Plans have accordingly been prepared as follows : — 



1. Drtui'ings of a Foivl-JIouse for lj-9 ISirds. — These are sketches of the 

 framing of a house suitable for back-yard poultry-keepers, for birds kept on 

 the intensive system. 



2. DrmnuKjs of a Duck-lloase IG //. hij 10 //. — These are suitable for 

 *' utility " duck-keeping. 



3. Drawings of a Ilen-IIoune 8 //. 6 in. hy ft. 8 In. hi/ 7 ft. (i in. high. — 

 These are suitable for use on free range or farm. The house can be made 

 portable if desired. 



4. Drawings of a House for 25 Birds or Double Breeding Pen. — The house 

 can be used for either purpose without structural alteration. 



5. Drawings of an 11 ft. Laying House. — This house has been designed in 

 sections, each capable of holding 25 birds, and can be enlarged by the addition 

 of extra sections. There is perch room in each section for 27 birds, thus 

 preventing over-crowding on perches. 



(4) and (5). These houses have been designed to obtain the maximum 

 amount of ventilation and light, together with economy of space, consistent 

 with proper perch accommodation. Special care has been taken to keep tlie 

 size of timber used in the construction as small as possible and easy of 

 erection.
