Protect
Your Hens
\
The well housed flock is the only profitable one.
Feed alone will not enable a hen to produce
profitably. She must have a clean house, free
from damp and draughts.
The hen, like any hard worker, is entitled to
a good night’s rest. The injury to the flock
caused by roosting in draughty or ill ventilated
places is disastrous. No amount of feed will
keep a flock producing if the roosting place is
not comfortable and sanitary.
Let us funish plans for a better hen house.
We have many designs that will please you-
and the hens.
We are always glad to give you our sugges-
tions about lumber and building materials most
