A LETTER from a well-known dairyman states that he is 
averaging 6,000 lbs. of milk annually per cow with the 
aid of International Special Dairy Feed. This splendid 
record was secured not on one cow alone, but on 40 cows. Six 
thousand pounds of milk each was the average for the year. In 
the last paragraph of his letter, this dairyman says, I have 
never before or since found any ration to equal International 
Special Dairy Feed.” 
International Special Dairy Feed 
It’s a Guaranteed Milk-Maker 
Thousands of dairymen have written us letters like the above. 
We might make many claims for what International Special 
Dairy Feed can do for you, but what it has done for others is 
conclusive proof of its value. If you wish to secure two extra 
quarts of milk per day from every cow, 
if you wish to lower the cost of feeding, if you 
want to eliminate guesswork in feeding, then 
you need International Special Dairy Feed. 
Be Fair to Yourself 
In justice to your own interests, you should 
test International Special Dairy Feed. Ask 
your dealer for a trial ton. Prove to yourself 
its milk-making qualities, and make a profit 
while doing so. If your dealer can’t supply 
you, write to us.

Construction of Henhouse 
It is my intention to build the first unit 
of a multiple-unit poultry-house soon, j 
perhaps later adding one or more other 
units. Before doing this, however, I wish 
to learn all that I can regarding most 
suitable construction—that is, building, 
shape and dimensions, kind of floor, ar¬ 
rangement of noste and roosts, and so on. 
I am enclosing a sheet from a mail order 
louse which shows such a house. Does 
this type meet with your approval in 
every particular? As I recall, I have 
recently read in The R. N.-Y. that win¬ 
dows should he about two feet from floor, 
and reach almost to top of building, and 
also that muslin screens are not so popu¬ 
lar as they once were. H. v. o. 
Parkersburg, W. Ya. 
The general construction of the poul¬ 
try-house illustrated is excellent, though 
there are changes in detail which I should 
make for myself. I should wish the sash, 
either single or double, to reach from 
within two feet of the floor nearly to the 
plate, this for the purpose of permitting 
direct sunlight to strike the floor as far 
back as possible. I should prefer also 
to have the narrow muslin-covered open¬ 
ings replaced by one or two windows as 
described above. Muslin does not admit 
sunlight and. when covered with dust, 
admits verv little air. These window’s 
may he fitted with V-shaped hopper sides, 
permitting them to drop hack a few 
inches at the top to admit air over them. 
In warm weather they should he entirely 
removed. A concrete floor is undoubtedly 
the most satisfactory ; it is rat proof, in¬ 
destructible. easily cleaned and. if pro¬ 
perly constructed and underdrained, dry. 
Perches may be of 2x4-iueh stuff, narrow 
edge up and with corners rounded. If 
suspended from rafters by *4-inch rods 
they will afford little opportunity for 
mites to hide beneath them and may be 
easily greased once or twice yearly. This 
house should have at least three perches 
across the rear, 10 inches or more apart. 
If droppings boards are used they should 
he of matched stuff, tight and smooth. I 
don’t like them; they are always filthy 
and a breeding place for red mites. Here 
is a suggestion ; Set a 12-inch hoard on 
edge about one foot .ahead of the front 
perch and on the flour, then permit the 
droppings to fall to the concrete floor 
behind this board. The board is for the 
purpose of keeping litter from being 
mixed with the droppings. Then make a 
substantial frame to fit over the space 
between the upper edge of this, hoard and 
the rear wall. Cover this frame with 
wide mesh poultry netting. This screen 
will keep the fowls out of the droppings 
and eggs from being soiled. Orange 
crates make good nests. Remove the bot¬ 
tom slats and replace them tight together 
for the nest floor; remove the slats 
entirely from one side, this side to go 
against the wall. Cover the top of. the 
crate with the slats taken from the sides. 
Nail one wide slat on the front side, at 
the bottom, and a corresponding one on 
the rear; these make nests of good di¬ 
mensions into which the hens can fly from 
the floor. Two screw-eyes may be used 
to suspend these nests upon the nails 
driven into the poultry-house wall ; they 
may then be easily taken down for clean¬ 
ing. The dirtiest place in a henhouse is 
about the perches; no place for nests or 
any other contraptions that can possibly 
be dispensed with. For drinking foun¬ 
tains use large galvanized water pails, 
set into orange crates to keep them from 
being tipped over. These are easily 
cleaned, filled, carried and drank from; 
two pails to a pen are enough. Cut out 
all folderols, having nothing in the pen 
that can be dispensed with; not even a 
rooster, except during the breeding sea¬ 
son. The more severely simple the con¬ 
struction and furnishing of your poultry 
house, the less the labor involved in car¬ 
ing for the occupants and the more easily 
it can be kept liee and mite free and in 
a sanitary condition. M. B. D. 
A White Leghorn Nurse 
I read with interest your little item 
about the Leghorn hen that “set.” I have 
a Single Comb White Leghorn hen that 
heats that by a long shot. She was in¬ 
cubator hatched in March, 1018, from a 
heavy laying strain. In March, 1010, 
she showed a broody inclination, and as I 
had some eggs in an incubator, she was 
given some of these eggs. When they 
hatched she was given in addition some of 
the incubator chickens, so that she had 
about 20 in all. She raised every one of 
them. Later in the season, in July, she 
set again, and was given eight or 10 eggs. 
When these hatched she was again given 
some incubator chickens, so that she had 
about 10 or 20 altogether. Not content 
with this she adopted five that another 
hen had deserted, and. with the exception 
of two that were hatched weak, she raised 
all of them. There is no mistake about 
it, and the lieu is a purebred S. C. Leg¬ 
horn, and when not broody she is an ex¬ 
cellent layer. In addition to all this, she 
has the standard type in a much greater 
degree than the ordinary utility Leghorn. 
New J ersey. Johannes g. vos. 
R. n._y.—H ere is a sure case of “hand¬ 
some is that handsome does.” They could 
not breed or feed the maternal instinct 
out of that Leghorn. Something led her 
back to the habits of the old jungle fowl.
