. Annual report of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). New and Improved Poultry Appliances. 277 A REMOVABLE FLOOR FOR CHICKEN SHELTER. Adapted by R. C. Lawry. A removable floor is a great convenience and also a labor saver. It permits easy cleaning and thorough disinfection. Chicken coops and houses should be kept clean and free from mites. This is likely to be neglected with the rush of work in the rearing sea- son. The type of house here shown (Fig. 115) is not the best. A summer house should provide for more fresh air, and for the sake of economy in construction, should be square rather than long and narrow. Land plaster or soil scattered over the floor will keep the air more wholesome and the floor will be more easily Fig. 114.—The cover raised for empty- ing or filling the pan. The water- pan supplies two pens which saves about one-half the labor of watering. A swinging fender 'suspended from the partition over the pan prevents the fowls from running through the opening when the pan is removed' This is unnecessary with m,ost breeds.
