THE HENYARD 
Construction of Henhouse 
I am contemplating building a poultry 
house. My idea is to build one 40 ft. long 
by 15 ft, wide, running east and west, and 
facing the south. I would like an alley- 
way 3 ft, wide running the length of the 
building on the north side. I also would 
like my short posts on the north side. I 
plan for four pens, uud u_ window in each 
pen, facing the south. What size window 
would you advise? Would you advise one 
long rafter, making a gable? I would 
like a concrete foundation and a gravel 
floor. Would it he necessary to run the 
concrete foundation more than 6 in. be¬ 
low the surface to make it ratproof? 
What length posts would you advise on 
the north side, and what length on the 
south side? g.t. 
New York. 
I should dispense with the alley, giving 
that extra 3 ft. to the fowls. An alley is 
too expensive for the convenience it. af¬ 
fords aud, unless I wished to keep more 
than one variety of fowls, T should not 
divide a small house into small pens. It 
makes extra labor in caring for them, 
with no compensating advantage. A lo¬ 
ft. house does not need a gable in the 
roof. It is cheaper and easier to build it 
with a shed roof, the front S ft, and the 
rear 4% ft. in height. If there is but 
one window to each 10 ft, of front, that 
window should roach from within 2 ft. of 
the floor nearly to the plate, and should 
he ns wide as practicable to get. Face the 
building a bit to the southeast, so as to 
get the early morning sun. Two inches 
of well-made concrete should be as good 
as 4, so far as keeping rats from getting 
through is concerned, and. if laid upon a 
well-tamped broken stone foundation, ele¬ 
vated above the surrounding surface to 
provide for drainage, should bear any 
weight put upon it. M. B. D. 
Canada Geese; Balsa Wood 
1. Would you describe a wild Canada 
goose? Are the male and female of the 
same color? If so, how can one tell them 
apart? 2. Where can I buy some balsa 
wood iu the form of lumber? Ilalsa wood, 
a tree which is a native of South Amer¬ 
ica. It lias been found to he ideal xvood 
for aeroplane wings; it is rapidly sup¬ 
planting cork in life preservers and in 
many other useful purposes, for it is 2% 
times lighter than cork, and it is as dura¬ 
ble as spruce, but I do not know where I 
can buy it in the form of lumber. H. c. 
Monmouth. Me. 
The Canada goose has a large white 
patch on the throat and extending up on 
the sides of the head behind the eye. 
The rest of the head aud nock is black. 
The tail and the upper tail coverts are 
black. The longer tail coverts and those 
on the sides arc white. The back and 
wings arc grayish brown. The breast 
and holly arc grayish, which gradually 
shades out t<* white on the hover part of 
the belly, Male and female of the Can¬ 
ada goose are of the same color, and it 
is not possible for the uninitiated to tell 
them apart. Those who are used to (hem 
have a number of little signs which they 
use. The gander is more masculine in 
appearance and actions. His head is 
usually heavier and his neck thicker. 
There may he a little difference iu his 
voice. Borne sav there is a difference in 
the shape of the back, one having it 
straight or a little “snddlobackcd." while 
the other is curved down a little at the 
tail. The main thing is to watch and 
“know your geese." 
2. Balsa (not Ffalsa 1 wood is hardly 
as light as this letter would indicate. It 
is lighter than cork in about the propor¬ 
tion of 20 to 25. according to one who 
has used ir. It has much the same struc¬ 
ture ns willow, poplar or basswood, aud 
has about the same cross-breaking 
strength, weight for weight. It is said 
to be somewhat harder to work than 
some other light woods. It is used in 
some museums for making implements, 
because it is so light and the supports do 
not need to be so strong as if the ex¬ 
hibits were the iron they seem to be. 
Balsa wood grows in the forests of South 
and Central America, but most of it that 
is sold commercially comes from the 
Amazou Tegion. Alfred c. weed. 
Turkey with Cold 
A young turkey lias head and eyes 
swollen up. I thought it was blackhead 
and T gave ipecac, but did no good, and 
it is swollen nil around her eyes now 
quite badly. What do you advise? a. t. 
New York. 
This turkey may have a simple cold, 
though true roup may he present. Keep 
her by herself in a dry. clean and com¬ 
fortable place, and syringe out the eyes 
and nostrils two or three times a day 
with a warm solution of boric acid. 10 
grains to the mince of soft water. After 
thoroughly cleaning the parts, a drop of 
kerosene may be placed iu each nostril. 
If a hard hunch forms later beneath 
either eye and does not disappear of 
i I self, the place may be opened with a 
sharp, clean blade, and the cheesy con¬ 
tents tinned out. Fetal her soft, food and 
see that she is protected from cold and 
drafts. Ho not handle other foxvls after 
caring for the turkey, as roup is con¬ 
tagions and, if present, may be spread to 
i m nt omkaun /-* r fl,„ fL.olr xr n n
