Soft-shelled  Eggs 
We  have  a  yearling  S.  C.  R.  I.  Red 
hen  that  often  lays  a  soft  egg.  She  is 
apparently  in  extra  good  health — strong 
and  vigorous,  yet  every  other  egg  is  soft, 
lays  about  live  eggs  a  week  at  present. 
Eats  heartily  of  scratch  food  and  egg 
mash,  also  goes  to  the  shells  regularly. 
Sometimes  she  si,ts  on  nest,  two  hours  arid 
gels  off  without  laying,  then  lays  through 
the  night.  Last  night  she  apparently  laid 
a  soft  egg,  making  the  second  time  in 
10  days.  l  p,  j. 
New  Jersey. 
Eggs  with  only  a  membrane  for  a  shell, 
are  often  caused  by  overstrain  or  over¬ 
feeding,  and  may  be  treated  by  avoiding 
stimulating  food  and  giving  the  bird  as 
wide  range  as  possible.  Some  birds  do 
not  recover  and  should  be  killed  for  mar¬ 
ket.  a.  n.  iP-

House 
1.  I  have  a  nice  rlonblo-boarded  house, 
winch  I  intend  to  make  into  a  henhouse. 
Will  you  suggest  a  plan,  including  nests, 
roost  and  bath,  Windows  and  .screens? 
Two  rooms  below  15x15  feet,  eight  feet 
high;  two  upstairs  15x15  feet  seven  feet 
high,  The  roof  cots  off  three  feet  on 
side  and  ceiling  on  both  sides.  Chimney 
upstui,rs  in  center.  Will  one  room  up¬ 
stairs  he  too  big  for  brooding  300  baity 
chicks?  Room  is  plastered.  Will  an  or¬ 
dinary  stove  do  the  work  if  screened  in 
and  looked  after  closely?  To  this  house  I 
want  t<>  connect  another  23  feet  Jong,  eight 
feet.  wide,  seven  feet  high.  Shall  I  make 
this  15  feet  wide?  Would  it  be  umvise  to 
add  it  on  first;  house  with  stairs  insi,(le 
from  big  house  ground  floor  to  small 
house,  and  from  there  to  big  house  upper 
floor?  Witulows  will  be  placed  where 
they  should  be, 
2.  I  wish  to  build  a  turkey  house  in  my 
orchard,  about  20x30xS  feet,  ordinary 
roof-  t\  ouhl.it  be  a  good  plan  to  build 
big  limbs  inside  to  roost  on,  place  some 
brush  and  altogether  make  it  look  a  lit¬ 
tle  wild  both  i.n  and  outside?  Shall  I 
board  it.  on  all  four  sides,  or  use  wire 
in  front  in  Summer  when  we  drive  hens 
and  chickens  in?  M.  p.  n. 
New  York. 
1.  The  rooms  upstairs  will  do  and  are 
not  too  big.  The  chickens  will  need  to 
be  moved  later  to  where  they  can  connect 
'with  a  yard  outdoors.  The  bother  of 
tending  chicks  upstairs  is  a  serious  ob¬ 
jection.  especially  if  you  try  to  use  a 
stove  that  needs  frequent  attention.  It 
will  pay  better  to  have  a  $15  brooder 
coal  stove  with  regulator.  It  might  be 
a  better  plan  to  use  one  end  of  the  23- 
foot  house  as  a  brooder  room,  and  use 
your  second-story  room  for  storage.  To 
work  on  three  levels  will  he  a  nuisance. 
Letter  have  one  stairway  in  the  large 
building  and  reduce  its  height  a  little 
by  filling  up  on  the  floor  as  high  as  the 
doors  will  allow.  It,  is  still  more  sat¬ 
isfactory  but  lots  of  work  to  bank  up 
and  cement  outside  to  the  second  story,  so 
that  you  can  walk  up  to  the  door.  The 
back  of  the  wall  will  need  to  he  pro¬ 
tected  wi.th  cement  work,  and  stones  laid 
at  the  ends  of  the  hank.  The  8x23 -foot 
building  is  all  right  if  there  is  room 
enough  for  the  flock;  it  would  be  host
