Ttu&'shed is large enough to accommodate the droppings from 1,000 birds for a period of one year, and the droppings collected from the range tyhere 3,000 chicks are annually reared. , The inside measurements of this shed are 12 by 7 feet. It is 5 feet high at the eaves and 8 feet 2 inches to the peak of the roof. The droppings are thrown in through trap aoors in the roof, and taken out from one end, which is removable. The other three walls, the floor and the foundation are cement. The gables are board, and the gable at the plank (removable) end of the shed is alBO removable to give more room when Bhovellng the manure into cartB. It la held in place by hooks.
