Title	Improved chicken coops in the "Rural Record"
Description	Article from the January 10, 1884, issue of the "Rural Record" provided the readership with an improved design for the Southern poultry house. Illustrations of the chicken coop and feeding station along with a blueprint accompany this informational offering.
Historical Note	The agricultural journal known as the "Rural Record" originated with the March 10, 1882, issue. Its target audience was to be the farmer, planter and stock raiser, and their families; thus, there were features that appealed to children and housewives as well. The company that published this journal was headed by Adolph S. Ochs, the businessman who cut his teeth on Chattanooga newspapers, later acquired the "New York Times" and helped establish modern American journalism.
