Brooder House 
2792 33601 
I have a chicken house 12x16 divided 
into four pens. Partitions are of Avire 
covered with burlap, Avhitewashed so 
there is no draft through. I would like 
to ihse it as a brooder this Winter and 
Spring. It is three feet high in front, six 
feet at highest part, and four feet at 
haek ; has cement floor. Each pen has 
one sash .“IxO inches and canvas curtain 
on frame 6 x 6 feet. Do you think it will 
he Avarni enough Avith four hovers? E. R. 
Ncav York. 
From your description I should think 
that tlie poultry house you have would 
make an excellent brooder hou.se when 
provided Avlth suitable heaters of some 
sort. Either several small lamp-heated 
brooders or one large coal-heated brooder 
could be used. By using wire partitions 
to separate chicks of different ages a coal 
heater will care for more than one flock. 
__ M B. D. 
Homemade Brooder 
Will you give me a plan for a home¬ 
made brooder for 400 baby chicks, the 
kind of lamp used, and CA'crythiug con¬ 
cerning the brooder? The easiest and 
most practical way will suit me, F. B. 
Perhaps the simplest brooder for 400 
chicks is a colony house of any type or 
size desired, if at least eight feet square, 
in Avhlch is installed a coal heater made 
for brooding purposes. Such a heater may 
he placed in one end of a poultry house or 
any other building and the expense of a 
separate colony house avoided. If one has 
a suitable outhouse and an old coal stove, 
he may iinjirovise a coal-burning brooder 
stove and Ihe other necessary apiiaratus. 
About all that is ueded is a base burning, 
rather than direct draft, coal heater of 
small size, and enough tin or sheet iron 
to make a hood or deflector to be sus¬ 
pended over the top of the stove. Exam¬ 
ination of one of the well-known makes of 
this type of apparatus, or even of the 
pictiires, Avill give one an idea of what is 
required and his own ingenuity should do 
the rest. The ob.ieetiou to a direct draft 
coal burnei’ for this purpose is that it is 
very dlSicult to control the fire satisfac¬ 
torily in one, and, of cour.se, the commer¬ 
cial brooder stoves Avith automatic draft 
r(‘gnlators are more convenient than any 
home made apparatus. M. r. d. 
Relcxian from pedigreed, prize-winning 
oeigian nares prices reasonable.
