That Eastern Exposure to 
Henhouse 
The advisability of so building depends 
entirely upon the type of house built. My 
experience has been very unsatisfactory, 
though no expense has been spared in 
making the house snug inside and out. 
This is a large poultrv house close to 
200 ft. in length by 20 ft. wide, with all 
windows and muslin curtains facing east. 
It is of a shed type, single slope, with 
slope to west. As a Summer house it is 
well enough. True, you get the early 
sunshine until 11 o’clock; then what in 
Winter? That means only 3% to 4 
hours direct sunshine, whereas a south¬ 
ern exposure gives you eight hours’ of 
same a day. The results are pitiable on 
cold days; hens crowding to front of 
muse seeking the last bit of sunshine at 
11 o’clock with cheerless afternoon and 
night before them, creating a 20-hour 
period of sunlessness, not a happy en¬ 
vironment for even a chicken. The days 
of easterly winds, result in need of cau¬ 
tion in making proper window or cur¬ 
tain adjustments to exclude rain and 
(rafts, yet keep the house well ventilated. 
'Due to this sunless condition every suc- 
ceding cold snap, though the house is 
dry finds birds gasping and dying from 
bronchia] affections. This is not a case 
of inefficiency and lack of experience in 
feeding, etc., or poor sanitary conditions. 
Without you wish to assure me more 
than ordinary hazards with poultry, do 
not deprive them of that vital element, 
sunshine, direct and available; it is the 
least you can do. Give them light.

For Laying Hens 
Feed Plenty of Minerals 
Feed FOS-FOR-US 
More than a third of 
the dry matter in an egg is 
mineral matter — chiefly 
lime of the shell. FOS- 
FOR-US contains 70% 
carbonate of lime. 
Phosphorus is another 
important element in pro¬ 
ducing eggs and building 
bone and nerve cells. It’s 
in FOS-FOR-US too. 
Supply grit and vital 
minerals at the same time 
—feed FOS-FOR-US. 
FOS-FOR-US 
The Phosphate'Lime Qrit 
contains 22% tri-calcium 
phosphate, 70% carbon¬ 
ate of lime. A hard, sharp 
soluble grit. Three sizes

You can make a better 
sprouter than you can buy. 
This sprouter was made in one evening by a 
14-year old boy with a saw and hammer. The 
cost, with heater, was $2.99. Thousands in use. 
All say it is the best and handiest made. 
Make Layers Out of Loafers 
To make hens lay their best in winter, growing 
green feed, rich in vitamins, must be fed. Sprouted 
oats are best. The Putnam Home Made Sprouter 
yields the best and sweetest sprouts and with the 
east work. I will send, free, plans for making this 
sprouter with description of Little Putnam Stove 
to heat it. Also instructions for use of stove to keep 
fowls’ drinking water unfrozen. Stove holds three 
pints of oil. Hums a month without trimming or 
filling. Patented burner. Nothing like it. Ask your 
dealer, or send me his name and $2.50 and get one by 
returnmail,postpaid. Try it. If notsatisfied, return 
in 10 days and Pll cheex-fully refund your money.
