EQUIPMENT REQUIRED. A Substantially Built Continuous House Which is Typical of the More Expensive Styl& of Construction. Of these matters good drainage is the most important since dampness under or around, the poultry house is a sure forerunner of unhealthful cpnditions. The orchard is â especially well adapted for the purposes of a poultry yard because its trees furnish shade in summer, and in the winter, when the leaves have fallen, interpose but little obstruc- tion to the rays of the sun which in that season are a valua- ble aid to the health and comfort of the egg producers. Also, the presence of the fowls is of much value to the trees which receive more nourishment from the better fertilized ground â and. suffer less from the attacks of worms, since the latter are consumed in great measure by the fowls. Wnfere it is a case of poultry yards first and orchards later, it is advisable to set out fruit trees of whatever variety does best in that location, in all of the yards which are per- manently located and also on the land which is intended for use in rearing the young stock each season. The person who keeps poultry in thickly settled portions of a village, or on a city lot or part thereof, sometimes finds himself unable to secure any of these favorable conditions for his flock. Sometimes his location is so hemmed in by build- ings that the sun strikes it only at noonday, and the shade obtained is only that furnished by the surrounding buildings arid provided by structures erected for the purpose.
