Mrs. Louise L. Upson notes reader interest in improved ideal poultry houses. The piece explains a 16 by 100 foot Brown designed house with rear roosting area, nesting and feeding setups, sand floor, alfalfa scratching, and elevated water troughs to avoid waste, allowing many fowls on limited ground.
The article outlines training and grooming for show birds, stressing patient handling from chickhood, proper housing, shading, and shade management. It covers feeding regimes for hard and soft feathered types, washing techniques, wing and leg care, and timing before shows to maximize plumage brilliance.
A compact listing of forthcoming sports events and competitions spanning Monday through Saturday. The schedule includes yacht races on the Great Lakes and Atlantic coast, golf and tennis tournaments, boxing matches, horse shows, aviation meets, motor races, and a Jersey to Toronto circuit, with venues from Lake Geneva Wis to Chicago Grant Park and Newport R I.
A multi storey chicken house with three floors and a basement is detailed. The design includes a basement for incubators, trap doors between floors for easy access, a ground floor incubator room with direct access to the main floor, a hot water pipe brooder with glass front, rear feed doors, and a two foot extension below the first floor. The article argues the structure reduces labor, keeps fowls inside and well cared for, and enables year round egg production in southern city lots.
SORRING BROWN describes a floor 32 by 200 feet brooder house designed to shelter 1,500 young chickens with a glass south facing front for winter daylight. The top story holds 500 hens and the bottom is accessible, avoiding interference with four foot high brooders.
