The moist air worka up through the atraws and out through gratings or baffles In the ends Just below the roof. Fresh air Is admitted by opening the south windows a Uttle at the top.. This method has given excellent results In experimental work at several agricultural colleges and Is used quite ex tenslvely by many commercial poultry' men. The point in favor of the straw loft seems to be that it lets out the moisture fast enough to keep the house reasonably dry and at the same time retains much of the animal heat. 1 haps lsiw Om Way "I wonder how I could get my awn-water- ed."
