(2) Theere is a great percentage of un proIftablo fowls in each flock-roost ers, old hens and young chickens of all ages-so -that there is no incen tive to feed the entire floct for win ter eggs. (3) The fowls are fed mainly on grain that will make them fat, and not on .the proper food to make the productive females lay. It is a simple 'matter to change these conditions and have eggs to sell this winter, without materially in creasing the expense of feeding the fowls.

Nail four laths to the boxes, raise them one foot from the ground and place them against the wall. Six nests are sufficient. Two roosts about 10 feet long are required, made from 2 by 3-inch dressed lumber with the c'orners of tho 2-inch face (on which the fowls roost) rounded. Nail cleats 4 inches wide by 2 feet long to the side walls, with two notches 2 inches wide by 1 1-2 Inches deep cut in tieni 1.1 inch es apart for the roosts to rest in. The two roosts are level (not one above the other to cause flghting over which will have the top roost) vith tile up per edge 36 inches above the sill, and tie rear roost 10 inches from the north wall.
