THE HENYARD 
Brooder House Floor 
How big a building is needed for 600 
baby chicks? Do you have to have a 
concrete or wood floor for a brooder for 
baby chicks? Can you use just ground 
with a lot of hay on it? Could you mix 
cinders with cement? Do you have to put 
sand in it? How many parts of each? 
Connecticut. P. a. 
The bigger the better. Eight by 12 
feet has long been a standard size for 
a portable brooder house, that being 
about as large as can easily be moved 
about, and most Brooder houses should 
be movable, 10 by 12 feet or 12 by 12 
would be much better for 600 chicks, too 
many, by the way, for one flock, unless 
the owner is skilled in caring for baby 
chicks. A brooder stove can be placed 
in a building of any size, a space being 
partitioned off for the chicks while they 
are young. 
The floor may be of concrete, wood or 
earth. A portable building must have a 
wood floor unless the earth where it is 
placed is to be made the floor. There 
is no objection to this if it is dry earth 
and can be kept dry, perhaps by filling 
in over a layer of field stones. That is, 
there is no objection to the earth as a 
resting place for the chicks; there is con¬ 
siderable objection if rats are to be 
feared. Rats or other vermin can easily 
obtain entrance to a brooder house 
through an earth floor and their ravages 
in one night might make that floor a 
very expensive natter. 
Yes, cinders from coal ashes may be 
used for cement flooring. I should ex¬ 
pect as lean a mixture as one part of 
cement to eight of cinders to make a 
good brooder house floor. I have a block, 
step from a door, made in that pro¬ 
portion, using the unsifted coal ashes 
from a furnace. It. has remained solid 
and useful for several years. M. B. D. 
Inheritance Taxes 
Would you give the law in regard to 
inheritance tax? Are there both State 
and Federal inheritance taxes, what 
amount is taxable, and what is the rate 
of the inheritance tax? j. F. H. 
There are both State and Federal in¬ 
heritance taxes. The Federal only ap¬ 
plies on estates over $50,000. The 
amounts vary according to the amount of 
the estate. The State taxes vary accord¬ 
ing to the degree of relation of the devisee 
or leagatee. There is a $5,000 exemption 
where the estate goes to near relatives.

The busy trying months are just ahead. You 
will raise more good pullets if you follow the 
methods explained in the Poultry Item. It’s written 
for practical people, like Rural New Yorker readers, 
who keep chickens for eggs and profit. It gives the 
details you must know to succeed. 
Happy” Joe Simon, Memphis, Tenn., says the 
Item ‘‘is the only one that contains scientific infor¬ 
mation on feeds and feeding.” Another competent 
judge of poultry journals writes: ‘‘Your 132-page 
February number was a ‘beaut’.” Others equally 
good are coming soon. Invest the price of a baby 
chick in a trial subscription; you’ll get informa¬ 
tion that will save many chicks.
