The Basement Fowl House.

Personally we do not care for a poultry building with a basement, says a writer In Reliable Poultry Journal. However, some two story buildings are In use that are very satisfactory where a comparatively low studded basement Is used with either wood or stone walls and open to the south, being made to serve as an open front scratching shed. Inclined board runways provided with cleats to give a good foothold form the best stairways for fowls.
