State College : “ There isn’t even a nail missing in the descrip¬ 
tion of the three poultry houses given in a bulletin, No. 132, 
Farm Poultry Houses, just issued by the Iowa Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station at Ames. 
“ Every detail and every step of construction is made clear by 
photographs, showing the exterior and interior alike, and by 
builder’s drawings, showing the method of construction through¬ 
out, and by bills of materials that include every item needed. 
“ Three types of houses are described, two' movable and one 
stationary. The ‘ A ’ shaped movable house may be built at a 
cost of $39. The Towa Colony House,’ used first at the Iowa 
poultry farm at the station, costs about $58. The stationary 
house is larger than either and may be built for about $173 or 
$180, depending on whether lumber and concrete or hollow tile 
and concrete are used. 
“ The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station will send these 
bulletins on request.”
