To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Light wooden-frame doors, covered with wire and hung with double-action spring hinges, are in every cross partition, and also in the partitions between the elevated walk and each pen. The back ends of the cross partitions, 4 feet out from the back wall, are carried up to the roof, so as to protect the hens from currents of air w r hile on the roosts. The roost platform is along the back wall. Four trap nests (described on page 36) are placed at the back of the house at the end of the roost plat...form in each pen. All the windows are double; eight of the large outside ones are hinged at the top and kept hasped out 1 foot at the bottom, except in the roughest weather and on cold winter nights. This furnishes venti- lation without drafts, as the position of the outside windows prevents strong currents of air from entering. Although this house was thoroughly built, it was found necessary to close the windows during rough winter weather or water would freeze quite hard inside the building. Closing the windows caused dampness and frost on the walls, and the straw litter absorbed the moisture and became while yet clean disagreeable to the hens.
