COLONY HOUSES.

How Serviceable Ones Were Mads Out of Pipno Boxes. We got some piano boxes for the houses, using the largest side for the bottom. We nailed up the top with

boards, hung a home-made door to bottom of box and our house was done. These houses, says Agricultural Epitomist, serve the purpose for growing chicks as well as those we lined to buy already made. They require so little work and are muph cheaper.
