I ‘ Etlect of Artificial Illumination on Egg Production. The
results ot tln·ee years` trial ol the effect on egg production of
T lengthening the day by the use ot eleetrie lights, are in sub-
stantial agreement. ln the third year ot the trial, 70 pullets
uiuler light averaged 3.1 inore winter eggs per bird than those
` without light. The average tor the three years shows an in- ‘
erease in winter egg production of 5.5 eggs per pullet. The
yl--arling egg production is substantially the sanie from the
pens with and without light. The increased winter produc-
tion is inueh inore pronounced with the yearling hens. The
U Qi) hens under light averaged l8 more eggs per bird during the
tour winter nionths than the 29 hens without light. The aver-
age for the three years shows a nuieli niore pronounced in-
crease in the winter egg production Ql'l'()lll liens under light

with dairy eows in lientueky and ati a reasonable cost, but it
must be mixed with more palatable leeds. sueli. as corn meal
