Ventilation s -One of Chief Problems in Care of Flock—Hens Need Air. ——— . One of the chief problems in the care of the flock in winter is ventila- tion of the poultry house. There still remains among. experts a difference of opinion as to"the amount. of fresh air that a hen needs for best resuits. It is undoubtcdly true.that Leghorns will not do as well.in‘a house ‘with & large open fromt 'as will other breeds which- are-larger and better acclimat- ed to New England ‘weather condi- ! tions.

There are many questions which the | farmer has to decide before deter- mining what modifications should be undertaken and only a thorough knowledge of the farm business will furnish the best basis on which to make plans. The depletion of farm labor makes this ane of the greatest problems ch the farmer had to meet at the present time. Labor is the largest tem of expense in opergting the farm »usiness and directly affects the farm or this reason the amount productive labor due on the an all important factor to be ered. When the farmer knows productive the farm labor has been for the past year he is better able to plan for the coming vear. A simple method for finding out how productive farm labor has been is to add the cost of hired labor including board to the estimated value of fam- ily and operators’ labor for the year. Divide this sum by the total dollars of receipts and multiply_ by 100. taken from the studies of farme in Connecticut show that where jabor costs over $10 to each $3100 of receipts the labor was inefficient and, n all_cases the farm business wae unprofitable. e the labor problem the farm must bd so well organized labor expense below the ge.
