Hutches. — Bacon boxes are easily converted into hutches, and 

 are at present obtainable at prices ranging from '2s. 6d. to 3s. Gd. 

 each. Wire and felt are additional items of expenditure. 



The outlay may bo cheapened and space economised hy 

 making single hutches in sets of three (Fig. 1). It is found 

 better to have a breeding section in each hutch, instead of loose- 

 nest boxes. Fattening pens can be made from sugar boxes and 

 fixed in tiers to suit the space available. The writer has found 

 that a s{^t of nine compartments (Fig. 2) is the most convenient 

 for handling.
