Most of the New England- plants have gates to their fly pensat the opposite end from the house so when they want to getinto the fly pen it is necessary to go clear around in front, thuslosing a great deal of time. I quote below from a letter I received from the owner of aplant I visited near Boston which covers the difference betweenthe front and rear aisle system complete in a few words. DearMr. Eggleston: I feel very grateful for the suggestion you gaveme this spring. Shortly after you were here I changed the planof one of my houses and built the aisle in front and of wdreinstead of boards. This is going to cost me a lot of moneybecause I like it so well that I am going to change all of myother houses. But I am sure I will gain back the expense of thechange before the year is over. The convenience of your aisleplan of feeding alone is enough to cause me to change the aisle CONSTRUCTION OF SQUAB HOUSES 198</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>194 AMERICAX SQUAB CULTURE , to the front. After trying your nest system for three months 1wonder why some one else did not think of it before. In New York, New Jersey and along the eastern coast I foundquite a few breeders had, in order to eliminate the evils of theaisle-in-rear plan, done away with the aisle entirely and put indoors from one nest room to another near the front of the houseso they would enter each nest room near where the birds wentout into tlie fly pen. In this way the birds would have to fly bythem to get out. This method I found served the purpose fairlywell of keeping the birds from flying out of the house every timeone entered it. The objections to this, however, are that the swinging doorsbother the birds and the birds will sometimes fly by throughthe doors as you go in and thus get mixed with other birds inadjoining nest rooms. Then, some birds seem to persist inbuilding their nrsts on the floor where you will have to stepover them every time you enter the nes</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
