Proposed Poultry House 
I am planning a poultry house 14 ft. 
wide, 32 ft. long, 12 ft. high ; a loft for 
wheat hay and Alfalfa, so as to have good 
clean green Alfalfa and wheat hay. On 
each side of the building for 22 ft. I 
would have a shed to east and west 8 
ft. wide. Each side to have three roof 
windows to let sun in more direct. The 
south side is to be part glass windows 
and part open. The north part, 10 ft. 
by 14 ft. is where the roosts are. What 
do you think of it? j. E. c. 
Iowa. 
While I have no doubt that your hens 
would be comfortable and happy in such 
a building as you describe, I do not see 
that you would gain anything over a 
simple square, or rectangular building 
with straw loft. This would be cheaper 
to build, would give quite as much oppor¬ 
tunity for hay storage and for light from 
windows in south, east and west sides. 
The roof of your proposed house would 
be comparatively expensive to build, it 
is the expensive part of any poultry- 
house, and the roof windows, besides 
being unneeded, would add to the diffi¬ 
culty in keeping the roof water tight. I 
think that a more simple plan would 
suit you better in the long run.

Unthrifty Chicks 
On .Tune 5 I received 599 baby chicks; 
they did well until July 1; since then 
some have died. They begin drooping at 
the tip of the wing, turn brown; don’t 
seem to have much bowel trouble and in 
about four days their combs get pur¬ 
ple. I was advised to give them butter¬ 
milk which I did just as soon as they 
came but it did not seem to do much 
good. C. A. D. 
Pennsylvania. 
I am afraid I cannot tell you of any¬ 
thing that you can do to save the sick 
chicks, as, when they reach the stage of 
evident sickness, they are past help. Your 
plan of giving sour milk from the start 
was good, but sour milk alone is not a 
guarantee of good health. There are 
other things to be considered in raising 
chicks and milk is but one of the foods 
that they need and proper food is but one 
of the conditions essential to success. If 
you are raising these chicks in old quar¬ 
ters, where chicks or fowls have pre¬ 
viously run, it will be best to get them 
away onto new ground immediately, give 
a grass range if possible, separate the 
unthrifty chicks from the strong ones, 
clean up their eating and drinking utensils 
thoroughly and continue suitable foods, 
of which sour milk or buttermilk may 
well form a part. These chicks may 
have coccidiosis or some one of the other 
ills of young stock, in which case, the 
measures above mentioned should help 
to save those that are not already be¬ 
yond help. M. b. D.

little girl at church this morning, Sal-

offered me a big plate full of money, and 
I said ‘No thank you.’ ”—The American
