Keep the Roonting Place Warm.

Many henhouses are not constructed sufficiently warm to keep hens from becoming frost bitten during extremely cold weather. To get the best results with poultry, and particularly with laying hens, they must have a warm place In which to sleep. In houses otherwise cool the roosting place may be made warm by using a hood. I have used with satisfactory results a hood made of burlap, which Is arranged like a curtain, so that it may be drawn back by day or In warm weather. —Cor. American Agriculturist.
