Questions in Building and Management 
This spring’I want to build a poultry 
house 100 ft. long, IS ft. wide, 4 H> ft. 
high at back, 8*4 or 9 ft. high in front. 
What would be the best style front for 
this house on eastern shore of Maryland? 
It does not get colder than 10 above zero 
in coldest Winters. How many and what 
size glass windows would I need for this 
house and Iiow best to have them open? 
How much muslin curtain space would 
be best to have? I just want enough 
glass so fowls can see to scratch for grain 
on rainy, windy days when muslin cur¬ 
tains arc closed. This house will face 
south. Where dropping boards are not 
used how far from floor and bow far 
apart should roosts be for Leghorns? 
What is the best date to have White I,eg- 
horns hatch for layers? ji. g. b. 
Maryland. 
I should use no muslin curtains iu this 
house, but would use windowu reaching 
from near the floor to the plate aud made 
to drop hack at the top for ventilation 
iu cold weather. In warm weather I 
should remove windows altogether. 
Enough glass should be used to flood in¬ 
terior with suulight, perhaps about one- 
third of front wall. The best style of 
front in moderate climates is the open 
style; entirely open in Summer aud quite 
open during the Winter. During the lat¬ 
ter season the front should be sufficiently 
open to keep the interior dry, and the 
exact amount of space required will have 
to he determined by trial. Usually too 
little open space is provided tinder the 
mistaken impression that closing a poul¬ 
try house makes it warmer and more 
healthful. 
Perches may be any required distance 
above the floor and should be about 12 
inches apart for Leghorns. April and 
May are the preferred months for hatch¬ 
ing in Northern States. M. b. d. 
Skin Disease in Fowls 
I have a number of Light Brahmas 
suffering from a skin disease. At first it 
forms in a scab around the head, closing 
up the eyes in an inflamed condition. 
The head is red and bears a very high 
temperature ; the neck and body is in a 
dry, hard, scaly condition and a very 
yellow color. Xo signs of stomach trou¬ 
ble. The plumage has lost its Color aud 
is dry and hard. I feed tliPtn on a scratch 
feed composed of cracked corn, wheat, 
sunflowers, buckwheat and a little barley 
in morning; midday mash composed of 
bran middlings, Indian meal and beef 
scrap, and same for night. I mix mash 
in proportions of 50 lbs. of bran, 50 lbs. 
of middlings. 25 lhs. Indian meal and 25 
lbs. of crushed of beef scraps. What is 
the nature of disease or possible cause of 
same, and is there any remedy? 
Massachusetts. T. o. c. 
From your description I judge this to 
be a skin disease called farms, a disease 
which usually begins upon the face and 
head and extends to the feathered por¬ 
tions of the body. The affected portions 
of the body become covered with irregular 
dirty white scales or scabs, which are 
often cone-shaped and sometimes a quar¬ 
ter inch in depth. The feathers become 
dry and brittle and break off. leaving the 
skin bare and covered with the scales. 
At first the general health of the fowl is 
not disturbed, but later it loses flesh and 
strength and may die from exhaustion. 
The disease is caused by a fungus growth 
ij may he communicated to > other 
fowls and perhaps to other domestic ani¬ 
mals, nr even children. Affected fowls 
should be removed from the flock and the 
quarters of the latter disinfected by 
whitewashing. Fowls that are only 
slightly affected may be treated by gently 
rubbing the scales from the skin with 
some blunt instrument and then painting 
the part once daily with tincture of 
Iodine. Or soft soap 20 parts, carbolic 
acid one part may be used, though this 
should not be applied to too large a sur¬ 
face at one time for fear of poisoning 
from absorption of the carbolic acid. If 
an ointment is desired one may be made 
from one part calomel to eight parts 
vaseline. The object of all these remedies 
is to kill the fungus aud its spores, or 
eggs, and the fowl treated should be kept 
from healthy ones until cured. M. B. D. 
You state in The R. N.-Y,. page 1349: 
“Thus the record was made by the 10 Ore- 
gons iu 1918," average 235. 1 say the 
record was made in 1913 by Tom Barron's 
pen of five birds. 1.190. Twice 1,190 is 
2,380. or 238 average. Lady Didit of that 
pen laid 282 iu that contest, and I am in¬ 
terested because I have her descendants 
and that of a cockerel from a pen record 
of five hens—1,198 eggs as recorded by 
George A. Cosgrove. I crossed a pullet 
of these Leghorns with a Col. Dorking 
cock from Henry Hale".*, and the descend¬ 
ants I have named I-Ialegroves. and I feel 
sure they beat the Oregons and Lamonas
