Moisture  in  Henhouse 
I  have  two  chicken-houses,  SxS  ft., 
raised  about  a  foot  from  the  ground  and 
tongued  and  grooved  flooring  in  them.  1 
had  sand  on  the  floor  until  it  got  so  damp 
that  it  nearly  froze  solid.  I  cleaned  it  all 
out  and  put  in  heavy  litter  of  buckwheat 
straw,  and  that  got  very  damp  and  soggy  ; 
took  that  out  and  covered  the  floor  with 
roofing  paper  and  litter  on  top,  and  still 
I  notice  the  litter  is  very  damp.  Can  you 
tell  me  how  to  remedy  this  trouble?  Both 
houses  have  plenty  of  ventilation,  and  the 
ceilings  are  dry.  One  of  these  houses  is 
to  be  converted  into  a  brooder  house  for 
March-hatched  chicks.  Do  you  advise 
leaving  the  board  floor,  or  is  concrete 
enough  better  to  be  worth  the  expense  of 
changing?  If  I  plant  a  field  of  rye  next 
Spring,  will  it  be  all  right,  to  use  the 
straw  as  a  litter  without  thrashing  out 
the  grain?  If  so,  would  I  have  to  change 
my  grain  ration.  I  now  use  the  Cornell 
formula,  minus  the  oats.  T.  w.  M. 
The  moisture  which  makes  the  litter 
damp  does  not  come  from  below,  but  from 
the  bodies  of  the  fowls.  The  only  way  to 
rid  the  house  of  it  is  by  thorough  venti¬ 
lation.  This  is  best  accomplished  by 
open  windows  on  one  side,  with  all  other 
sides  air-tight.  If  your  walls  and  ceiling 
are  dry,  it  is  not  likely  that  the  litter  is 
sufficiently  damp  to  do  harm ;  it  cannot 
be  kept  absolutely  dry.  You  would  gain 
nothing  by  substituting  concrete  for  a 
good  floor  of  matched  stuff  in  such  a 
building  as  you  have. 
Rye  has  practically  the  same  food  value 
as  oats,  corn  and  wheat,  though  less  pal¬ 
atable  and  less  readily  eaten  by  the  fowls. 
If  you  used  unthreshed  rye  as  litter,  the 
fowls  would  probably  eat  the  grain,  and 
would  require  that  much  less  in  their 
scratch  ration.  You  would  probably  have 
to  limit  the  amount  of  unthreshed  straw 
given  them  daily  to  avoid  over-feeding 
upon  whole  grain  and  neglect  of  the  dry 
mash.  Your  observation  of  their  actions 
in  this  respect  should  guide  you.

Poisoned  Hens 
Some  time  ago  a  reader  was  making  in¬ 
quiries  about  pullets  dying,  and  the  next 
week  mine  began  the  same  way.  You 
said  the  symptoms  were  poison.  I  puz¬ 
zled  to  figure  out  where  the  poison  could 
be,  and  found  it  right  in  the  henhouse. 
My  husband  had  muriate  of  potash  stored 
there,  and  the  pigs  got  in  and  tore  the 
bags  open.  After  I  covered  them  up,  had 
no  more  trouble.  The  muriate  had  lumps 
which  looked  like  grit.  My  husband 
claims  they  would'  not  eat  it;  I’ve  yet  to 
learn  anything  a  hen  won’t  pick  at.
