Plano Boxes for Colony Houses 
I should like a plan for using piano 
box»s for colony houses for poultry. I 
have seen them used, but some years ago, 
and have forgotten how they were put to¬ 
gether. T can get all T want here for $3 
•piece, and think they might be used to 
advantage. w. D. J. 
Buffalo. N. Y. 
There is no special method of using 
piano boxes for poultry buildings, they 
being arranged to suit the tastes of their 
owners. It occurs to me that two of them 
placed back to back, after the back boards 
had been removed, would give you a col¬ 
ony house as large as could be made from 
that number of boxes. A third box, with 
both front and back boards removed, 
placed between the two, would enlarge 
the floor area and would make a better 
proportioned building. As these boxes are 
made from rather heavy lumber and are 
tall enough to permit of a short person 
entering, by stooping a little, they lend 
themselves well to the making of back¬ 
yard poultry buildings and permit the use 
of all the ingenuity that anyone can dis¬ 
play in their arrangement. 
If anyone likes to play carpenter and 
builder in the backyard, it would really 
be too bad to spoil his fun by laying out 
definite plans for the utilization of these 
boxes. M. D -
