Construction of Henhouse 
I am planning for a new henhouse for 
200 fowls, and would be glad to have ad¬ 
vice. As I am my own carpenter. I would 
not need the size of lumby. but height, 
width and length. The location is against 
a southern sloping hill, and about 150 ft. 
from a spring of water, which 1 wish to 
run to house by ram. I am sending draw 
ings of two different houses, and would 
like to have your plans and ideas as to 
which is the more satisfactory house. I 
am very much interested in house No. 1. 
but would like to know the advantages 
and disadvantages of both h<mse< No. 1 
and No. 2. What I have noticed in house 
No. 1 is the offset between windows. I 
think the roof takes away too much sun¬ 
light. I think a couple of skylights would 
improve that it. L. F. 
Ephrata, Pa. 
The “half monitor” type of roof shown 
in your sketch No. 1 is designed for 
houses 20 feet or more in depth, the upper 
windows admitting the sun’s rays to the 
rear of the building. Skylights in front 
of these would be objectionable, because 
“//«// Monitor ” Type of llcnhousc 
of the trouble they would be apt to give 
when covered with melting snow and ice 
and because of radiation of heat from 
them in cold weather, thus making the 
house colder. Too much glass in a poul¬ 
try house is undesirable, though there 
should he enough to flood the interior 
with light. 
I should prefer a building 20 ft. x .°»0 
Single Spun Hoof 
ft., facing a little to the southeast, to get 
early morning sun. on the hill, not in a 
hollow at the foot of it—cold air settles 
in these hollows and they are not as 
warm in the Winter time as elevations 
above them are—and with a double pitch, 
unequal span roof, the short span in front. 
Such a building should b<* N or 0 feet 
high in front and about •» feet in the 
rear. The windows in front should 
reach from near the floor to the plate, 
thus admitting sunlight as far as possi- 
Hoof with Skylights in Offset 
ble toward the rear of the building. They 
should drop hack at the top to admit air. 
the openings at the sides being then closed 
by the Y-shaped boards. The rear and 
side walls of this building should he air 
tight and without windows, unless possi¬ 
bly one were placed in the west end. A 
single slope, shed roof, as shown in your 
sketch No. 2, would be all right, though 
the rafters in a 20 feet deep house would 
probably require support ;.t their centers. 
A deep house is to he preferred to a nar¬ 
row one. M. B. D.

Who Are You Going to Buy 
Your Chicks From This Spring ? 
The Lord Farms, we believe are the largest 
ami most successful breeders and shippers of 
Single Combed White Leghorns in the Eastern 
or Middle States. From a small beginning, 
eleven years ago. we have grown from a 12-acre 
farm, and today we own 399 acres. This season 
we shall produce for our own use 40.000 to 00.000 
Leghorns. We have today also a capacity for 
Incubating 103.000 eggs. devoted only to one 
breed. We have built this business up simply 
from giving customers satisfaction. We have 
never claimed to have the biggest layers in 
America, or the best show birds in America, but 
we have always claimed to have mighty good 
all-round Leghorns that our customers invariably 
make money on. Our business is mostly with 
experienced poultrymen who want good stock— 
not necessarily high-priced stock. We try to 
sell chicks that will live, mature quick, above 
the average size, and lay extra good eggs. Fur¬ 
thermore. we think that our birds will average 
as many eggs ns any strain you can buy. 
If you are looking for some real sensible 
bred Leghorns of good size and strain. American 
bred, then write to Lord Farms for their 30- 
pngo catalog. Dealing with us will eliminate a 
good part of the risk there is in going into the 
poultry business.

The following item is boating through 
the papers: 
Dryden. Wash.. Jan. 14.—A local 
grocery store put a White Wyandotte m 
a show window with a considerable quant¬ 
ity of corn and offered a prize fo ■ the best 
guess as to the number of kernels the 
fowl would eat in 10 days. The guesses 
ranged from 100 to 20.000. The rooster 
made no guess but he swallowed 3.51 S 
grains and did not work either. II. B_ 
Duncan won the prize with his guess of 
3.520. Other guesses were 3.522 and 
3.514. 
We doubt it. but for the benefit of any 
who would like to feature this exhibi¬ 
tion at a poultry shown, we would like 
to know how these grains were counted. 
Did they kill the rooster and examine the 
inside of his crop? Perhaps they counted 
the grains fed out to him—hut how do 
they know some other animal did not get 
a share'; How.would you do it? .
