Returning: again to the subject of
poultry house construction a nre
vious article discussed the question
of location emphasis was laid on
the importance of raising poultry on
lajiil that is well drained. High, dry
gronna ts-.ine oest,, sandy soil being
preteraoic.
une can realize how important
ttie ngnt selection of location is
from the fact that the poultry-house
does not exist that can be free from
dampness if it is built on low, damp
ground.
Dampness is a great menace to
the health of the tlock and damp
poulrry houses will sooner or later
cause practically all the diseases to
which fowls are susceptible.
It is suicidal to attempt to build a
poultry house for hens without
knowledge of the essentials in. poul
try bouse construction. That is why
! have suggested that beginners pur
chase ready-built portables. Unless
you are prepared to study this sub
ject carefully and secure the re
quired instruction before erecting a
bome-made structure I believe this
is the only safe procedure.
Don't make the mistake of think
ing you can construct a house that
is better than the various -types in
use. Many beginners -have this'
tailing. They do not realise that
the best brains pf the industry have
devoted years ot study to this im
portant subject and as a result have
developed types of houses that rep
resent the last word in poultry
house construction.
Prof. T. E. Quiseuberry, dean of
the American roultry school, is one
if those to whom the poultry in
dustry owes much for the develop
incut of advanced housing methods.
it is very doubtful if there is an
authority on poultry subjects who
is the equal of Professor Quisen
berry. This is not my view alone.
' b Jt that of many of the big people
of the industry as well as thousands
who have become successful through
fallowing his advice. He is the
originator of . the Quisenbcrry Fool
Proof Poultry House a house
which Jus-Become quite Rencral in
use and which gives excellent re
rtilts. It is simple, inexpensive to
build, convenient and satisfactory.
How to Build.
Following are the plants as out
lined to the writer by Professor
Quisenberry: "
"This house is 28 feet long, '14
feet wide, 8 feet high in front and 6
f$etvhigh in the rear. Will com
fortably house about 100 to 125 hens.
Foundation and floor are of con
crete, floor being about one foot
aSove the level of outside ground.
Distance be1 ween end and center
windows is 9 feet. Center windows
are 2 feet apart. Windows are
placed as high up as possible in
order that sun may shine clear to
back of house in winter. Upper
fash isliinged at top, swinging out
ward. Kach ventilator is about 2Vi
feet high and in length fills the
snare between fltie two windows.
Slats in ventilators are about lx6s,J
set jt sn angle oi aoout utsircs.
"Distance between sla'ts is about
f1 inches. Exits for chickens beneath
end windows, arc ,12x12 inches, with
doors hinged' at side, opening out
ward. Dooy in each end are 3x6 feet.
Siding may be either drop siding or
hip-lap any tongued and grooved
material. Never use boards and bat
tens on a poultry house if you can
secure drop siding, ship-lap or car
siding at a reasonable price. - -
"There is a long, narrow ventilator
6 inches wide and 8 feet long just be
neath the eaves on the rear side,
hinged at the top and swinging out
ward. It is forrntilating purposes
. in hot weather and is kept open only
in , summer. Windows should be
hinged at the top and swing outward.
In winter, windows must be closed
and made air-tight and muslin or
canvas tacked over them on the in
terior of the house. Each sash meas
ures 24x26 inches, the panes meas
uring 10x12 inches.
"Roof is. sheeted and covered with
two-ply prepared roofing," all joints
being rendered air-tight with water
proof tar paint. The building is di
vided into two equal parts by solid
board partition running clear from
floor to roof and coming within four
feet of the front, thus preventing
drafts. , - -

and 3i feet above the floor. Boards
in droppings platform can run cross
wise to facilitate cleaning. Roosts
are 2x2, rounded off at the top and
nailed to 2x6s. The 2x6s mereiy'set
on droppings platform and are easily
removed. Nests are set on a shelf
supported by brackets jmt beneath
the droppings platform Water pan
and feed hopper are both set on
tables two feet above the floor, so
that litter cannot be scratched into
them and so that the entire floor is
left free for scratching purposes. At
least four to six inches of straw
should be kept on the floor at all
times.
"Where the house is intended for
a small flock on a city lot, I would
recommend that it be built ih a sin
gle section 10, 12 or 14 feet square.
For farm use build it only in sec
tions 14 feet square, and build one
or a. many sections as you need 'to
accommodate your flock."
Other Types of Houses.
There arc, of course, many differ
ent types of houses in use, and there
are many different typcs-lrom which
equally good results are being ob
tained. Many state colleges and ex
perimental stations have their own
style of houses. I have gone into
detail in .regard to the Quisenberry
Foolproof House because I believe it
fulfills simply and effectively every
requirement in the housing of fowls,
and is particularly adaptable to this
sectiou of the country. It is easy to
build when you understand the prin
ciple of it, and eApeience has proven
that is is well 'worth building.
Neglecting That
Cold or Cough?
Why, when Dr. King's New
Discovery So Promptly
Checks It?
LETTING the old cough or cold
drag on, or the new one develop
seriously, is folly, especially when at
druggists, you can get such a proved
and successful remedy as Dr. King's
New Discovery. '
For over fifty years, a standard
remedy for coughs, cold9 and grippe.
Eases croup also. Loosens up the
phlegm, quiets the croupy cough,
stimulates the bowels, thus relieving
the congestion. All druggists, 60

Why They Like Omaha
By PAUL GREER.
"I like Omaha better than the city we came from,"
said a woman who recently moved hare. Her husband,
who knew many towns, expressed ji similar satisfaction
with his new home.
Ask the reasons for the preference of one city over
another arid you cannot, nine times out of ten, find
adequate answer. There are so many elements enter
ing into the advantages and disadvantages of a city
that it is hard for most of us to attempt to enumerate
them. , . -
Thinking in terms of the whole community is diffi
cult, yet the same things that appeal to one of us most
orobablv are the same ones that appeal to all the rest.
Thus, all parents appreciate
1 A 1 J 1 1. a
niveryone is auracieu uy me mic biuicb, iuc icugc owm.
of goods from which to choose, and the sales. Most
of us find enjoyment in the beautifuKparks, and many
others, in the boulevard drives and the good streets.
Enough has been said to suggest that it is not for
any one thing that a city is liked or disliked, but for
the sum of them all. L. N. Flint, head of the depart
ment of journalism at the University of Kansas, has
designed 10 tests of -a town, basing them on questions
that people may ask before they decide to make.it their
home. Taking an inventory along the lines marked out
by Mr. Flint might be a useful employment. Here are
the tests as he has set them down :
1. ATTRACTIVENESS.
Shall I like the town its "atmosphere"? Does it
have the beauty of shaded streets and other beau
tiful features? Is it a quiet, roomy, airy, well
lighted town? Dops it have attractive public
buildings and homes? Is it well jJaved? Is it
clean in everj sense?
2. HEALTHFULNESS.
Will my family and I have a reasonable chance to
; keep well in that town? How about its water
supply? Its sanitary system? Its methods of milk
" inspection? Its health department? Its hos
pitals? Is it without any congested district?
3. EDUCATION.
Can I educate my family and myself in that town?
How about its public schools present and future?
Its institutions-of higher education or of business
training? Its libraries? Its lecture and concert
courses? Its newspapers? Its postal facilties?
4. PEOPLE.
Shall I like the people of the town? Are they
"home folks" without false exclusiveness? Are
they neighborly and friendly? Is the town free
from factionalism? . Does it have strong religious, -fraternal,
and social organizations?
5. RECREATION. .
Can I have a good time in that town I and my
family? How about the theaters, museums, gym
nasiums, parks, etc.? Are there active agencies
for providing good entertainments, athletic con
tests, etc.? Are inviting opportunities for pleasure
drives afforded by well paved streets?
6. LIVING.
Can we live reasonably and .well in thatiown? Are
the best of modern conveniences available for its
residents electricity, gas, telephones, etc? Are
the housing and shopping conditions favorable?
Rents, taxes, and prices fair? Hotels good? Home
and' truck gardens and dairy products plentiful?
ACCESSIBILITY.
Can we go and come easily? Does the town have
adequate railroad connections and train service?
Street car lines? Interurban lines? Well marked
automobile routes and hard surfaced roads?
BUSINESS. ' , -
7.
8
Can I make good use of capital inthat town? Are
there, good banking facilities? Manufacturing
4 interests? Uuyto-date stores? Good shipping fa
cilities? Favorable labor conditions? A prosper
ous farming territory? Fair real' estate values?
Reasonably cheap power? Active co-operation
among business interests?
9. EMPLOYMENT.
Can I get a job in town at fair pay and with good
prospects for the future? Can I count on co
operation from organizations making it their busi
ness to help-introduce and establish new commer
cial interests and to welcome citizens? ,
10. PROGRESSIVENESS. , '
Shall t find that lamina live own having a pro-'
s gressive city government, active civic organiza
tions modern fire protection, and a pull-together
spirit in everything a town with a future?
Many of these desirable qualities Omaha has, and
none of, them 13 beyond its reach. It has truly been
said that a city cannot control the climate, natural
scenery or historic associations, but Omaha is well
enough off in all of three of these as they are. " in these
other matters, where Omaha falls short the civic spirit
is such that the lack will not be left permanent. To
claim that we have no faults would not promise the.
progress that inevitably must result from the admission
that there are points on which we do not measure up,
and setting definitely to work to improve them.
