ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM
Experiments In England Seem to
Show That With Chickens 1t 10
Big Success.

A long succession OF ingenious ex-
perimeLts have been privately made
in the effect OF electricity upon the
growth of plants and ANNALS. 1t is
now possible to say with some APP
preach Of confidence that startling re-
suits have been reached in one direc-
ton, according to London contem-
porary.
Beyond all question young poultry
respond to electric stimulus, applied
in a particular way, with astounding
rapidity. They surpass the best rec
ord in speed of growth at the time
of year; they keep their health in
dependent of the season.
In the south of England on the
biggest poultry farm in the world, an
experiment of this nature has just
been completed. Eight hundred chick
ems, in two equal groups of 400,
we're nurtured on the intensive sys-
tem-that is. in fats, almost trays, one
above the other.
One group OF 400 we're treated by
this electric system, and SO charged
we're the chickens with electricity
that the shock could be distinctly felt
II the finger was put to the beak of
chicken.
The chickens in the 400 grew to
marketable size in FIVE weeks, ard
OF the 400 only six, and these were
weaklings In the beginning, died. o
the other 400 nearly half died-it be
ing late in the year for health growtk
and the survivors took three months
