Deep Henhouse 
I have a small place and would like to 
build a henhouse for 70 or 75 fowls, but 
as I am limited for room would like your 
advice on building a house 12x18 ft. If 
I face this house to the south it would 
have to be the lS-ft. way, but if I make 
it the 12-ft. depth it would have to face 
the east. I would rather face it to the 
south, but it would take up too much 
room to the east the long way. Would it 
be possible to have the long way the depth 
facing the south? I had in mind building 
it uneven span roof, with perhaps a win¬ 
dow in the extreme east and west, with 
opening between these windows on the 
south. Also a tight window about half 
way back on the east and west sides. 
Droppings boards and - roosts in the hack 
or north end. with the nests on the west 
wall, and feed hoppers, water, etc., on the 
east wall, about 2 ft. above floor, giving 
them all the floor space possible. Would 
rather have either a board or concrete 
floor if either is not a detriment to the 
health of fowls, as the location is in¬ 
clined to be a trifle damp. w. A. V. v. 
New York. 
If I understand your plan, you would 
like the 12xlS-ft. building to stand with 
its greatest length approximately north 
and south, giving the building a 12-ft. 
front, facing south. This would be my 
preference, though I should not care 
whether the building faced south, south¬ 
east or even directly east. The deep 
building will give the occupants an op¬ 
portunity to keep away from the windows 
that must be kept open in front for ven¬ 
tilation, particularly while upon their 
perches at night. A small window for 
light may be placed in the east and west 
walls of the building, but these should be 
airtight. Two large windows in front 
would admit sunlight and air, and no 
other opening would be needed if these 
were arranged to drop back at the tops 
for a short distance into the building, so 
that air might enter over them. The side 
openings thus made should be closed by 
“hopper sides,” so that entering air would 
be forced to take an upward turn. If 
double sash windows, both sashes should 
drop back for a few inches, perhaps a 
foot. In warm weather the windows 
should be removed entirely and kept out 
until severely cold weather. Your other 
specifications are good. M. B. D. 
Homemade Comb Foundation 
Just how can I make comb foundation 
on a plaster of Paris mold? We have to 
pay from 7 to 13 cents per sheet for 
foundation and would be very much in¬ 
terested in a way to make our own. 
Wellsboro, Pa. c. b. h. 
The plaster of Paris mold was a slow, 
crude and cumbersome way to make foun¬ 
dation. and the sheets were so thick and 
heavy that it would not be suitable for 
comb honey. We used ours only while 
we were starting and soon bought a 10- 
in. adjustable mill for our brood comb 
foundation and a 6-in. mill for extra thin 
comb honey foundation. Of course it was 
some trouble to learn to use these mills 
successfully, but they have been a great 
source of joy and profit. We usually have 
enough cappings and old combs to supply 
us with the wax we need, but when we do 
need more we do not have to pay 80 cents 
to $1 per lb. for it. We work this up in 
the Winter while our time is not espe¬ 
cially valuable, but we think at the pres¬ 
ent price of wages it could be made by 
hand for 15 to 20 cents per lb. I do not 
see foundation mills advertised in the 
supply catalogs any more, and do not 
know where they could be had. g. w. b.

I Brush A Son • Milton, Vermont 
I am going into the bee business on 
small scale this year. In selecting a 
suitable place to keep the bees I chose 
the orchard, but as we use a duster on 
our orchard, I am afraid that the dust 
will injure them. Will this dust, which 
contains poison (arsenate of lead) injure 
the bees or the honey? The dust when 
carried by the wind would surely get into 
the hives. p. f. c. 
I should consider an orchard, with its 
partial shade, an ideal place for bees, 
provided they are in a place where they 
can be partly protected from the pre¬ 
vailing winds. I can scarcely imagine 
that what little dust would drift in or 
around the hive would do any serious 
harm. The danger would be in the poison 
drifting to blossoms that the bees were 
working on, either under the trees or 
some distance beyond. If there was much 
wind at time of dusting I have heard of 
this dust causing damage at quite a dis¬ 
tance from an orchard. Of course all 
commercial fruit growers know that the 
best time to spray for codling moth is 
just after blossoms drop; in fact, there 
is a State law against spraying while in 
bloom. Many fruit growers did not seem 
to realize that their crop was largely de¬ 
pendent upon the bees. g. w. b.
