Arrangement of Roosts 
How high do you place the roosts, and 
what provision is made for the hens to 
reach the roosts, in your plan for drop¬ 
pings boards? T. E. F. 
Massachusetts. 
Probably the higher the hens roost 
above their dropping the better; the am- 
moniaeal fumes from these droppings 
cannot be either wholesome or pleasant 
for the fowls. In my poultry house the 
perches are about four feet above the con¬ 
crete floor upon which the droppings fall. 
A wide board sot on edge in front of these 
perches keeps the litter from being mixed 
with the droppings. I do not make any 
provision for reaching the perches; nature 
has attended t" that. The perches being 
on the same level, there is no crowding 
for a preferred seat in the gallery and 
little quarreling as to who shall occupy 
the bald-headed row. It would make no 
difference, I think, if these perches were 
on a level with the ridge pole of the barn ; 
my Leghorns would reach them. M. B, D. 
“IIe says the world owes him a living.” 
“That may be all right, but what I ob¬ 
ject to is the fact that he is trying to 
collect it from his friends.”—Detroit 
Free Press.
