NEW YORKER INVENTS HOUSE In Two Sections, With Walls and Roof Hung on Hinges—Quite Easy to Keep Ventilated. A rather elaborate poultry house has been designed by a New York man. It is in two sections, one of which slides upon the other and is jmall enough to be easily taken apart rhe lower section has screens along

Its side walls, while the wooden walls are hinged at the top so that they can be opened at any angle desired, chains holding them in position. In this way ventilation can be obtained and the interior protected from rain or too much light. The upper section, which has a peaked roof, has a door at one end and a series of roosts arranged around the sides and ends on the interior. One-half of the roof is screened, too, and the top on this side is hinged so that it can be kept open or closed. The entire roof can also be slid on or off at will. This arrangement makes it easy to clean the house thoroughly in all parts and keep it well ventilated, thus eliminating insect pests to a great degree.

Useful Poultry House.
