W inter means nothing nowaday» to

6,000,060 eggs daily.
It used to be th at the season of
short, dark day» w as vacation tim e
for the pullet. If she laid an egg every
j three or four days, she had done her
duty. But now modern efficiency
methods have taken her In hand. Win
ter days are made as long as summer
' ones by electric lighting of the chick
en houses, and the thousands of sub
urban poultrymen of New York. New
Jersey and Connecticut are ringing up
profits at the season when prices are
i highest.
Ju st how the artificial lighting fools
the hen Into believing that w inter nev
er conies is explained In the Farm
Journal by Leslie M. Black, poultry
expert of the New Jersey Agricultural
college, who reports on a six-month
test made with 166 flocks of pullets.
Oddly enough, Mr. Black found that
one method of lighting worked better
than others and produced 10.7 more
eggs per bird over the period of the
test than when no lights were used.
“Three systems of lighting are most
generally used,” he explains. “The
first Is the 'evening lunch' system,
when the houses are lighted for an
hour at night, usually between S and
9, or 9 and 10. The second, or m orn
ing lights, plan consists of turning on
the lights before dawn. The third plan
' is to use the lights both morning and
evening so that the length of the day Is
made to equal absolutely the length
of night.
'•This last system seems to have
given the best results. Under It the
pullet» averaged 83.0 eggs per bird
for the period. It produced 10.7 more
! eggs per pullet than when no lights
were used. C.'i more than under the
'evening lunch’ plan, and 1.3 more
j than the morning lights system."

A W estern mother, Mrs. Neat M.
Todd, 1701 W est 27th St., Oklahoma
City, Okln,, say»: “When my son,
Neal, was three yenrs old he began
having constipation.
I decided to
give him California Fig Syrup and In
