Book synopsis

Excerpt from Open-Air Poultry Houses for All Climates: A Practical Book on Modern Common Sense Poultry Housing for Beginners and Veterans in Poultry Keeping; What to Build and How to Do It; Houses That Will Promote Health, Vigor and Vitality in Lying and Breeding Stock This Book was written, and the illustrations made, for the purpose of supplying an ever increasing demand for plans and building instructions of the best and most practical modern open-front open-air, or "fresh-air poultry houses." The fresh-air or open-air idea is not wholly new. We have had a few advocates of open-air housing for poultry since the earliest history of domestic poultry, but general promotion of open-air or "fresh-air" methods has only been developed during the past decade. The doctrine of fresh air has been so successfully preached that we now find open-front poultry buildings affording comfort for fowls all over the American Continent in localities where a few years ago open-front houses were not known. I firmly believe that the general adoption of open-front houses for poultry in cold and temperate climates and in hot climates where long, chilling rains are prevalent, and of cage roosts for hot or warm climates that are not subject to frequent heavy rains, will result in a decided improvement in the health, vigor and vitality of domestic poultry. Building plans are given for Woods' Improved Open-Air Poultry House, designed and built by the author; the Gillette Open-Air House, designed by George K. Gillette, manager Sugar Brook Poultry Farm Co., Central Village, Conn.; The Stoddard Open-Air Cage Roost, designed by H. H. Stoddard, Riviera, Texas, for warm or hot dry climates. Illustrations from photographs of the Tolman Fresh-Air House are also given, but plans and building instructions are omitted, as such are subject to the copyright of the inventor, Joseph Tolman, of Eockland, Mass. This volume will have fulfilled its mission if it serves to create a greater interest in open-air poultry housing and the building of more practical open-air quarters throughout the land, thus insuring greater comfort and greater constitutional vigor for the fowls and better returns for the poultry keeper.
