The house faces south, has plenty of light, storm door and storm windows. A five-foot board plat- form extends in the north side of the house from east to west. This is screened in, the nests rest upon it and the eggs are gathered without going among the birds. The roosts are one and one-half feet above the floor of the coop and under the platform, with droppings board under the* roosts which is kept clean and has fine ashes frequently scattered on it.

Once a week a mixture of kerosene, napthaline flakes and crude carbolic acid is sprayed on roosts, droppings boards and walls. Twenty-below-zero weather outside will not freeze water where the birds roost. The morning feed is oats scattered in litter. About twice a week a hot mash of boiled potatoes, vegetables, bran, shorts and barley flour, occasionally seasoned with salt and pepper, is fed. At noon I feed a light feed of wheat scattered in the litter. Ground fresh bone is given three times a week, about two and one half ounces a week per bird. At evening I feed either wheat, barley or corn and on very cold nights a hot mash, same as described for feeding in the morning, but never two hot mashes on the same day. Occasionally the corn is fed warm. Charcoal, shells and grit are kept before the birds always. Cabbages
