SHORT COURSES At
UNIVERSITY >CL0SE

The most successful short courses
e, er held in California have just
closed and the last of the 268 stu
dents have departed from the Univer-
sity of California farm at Davis and
returned to their ranches over the
state.
The course in general agriculture
proved to be the most popular of the
six weeks courses, the total enroll
nent reaching 80. The poultry course
was next in popularity, with "a at
tending. Dairy manufactures had en-
relied 26. This course was supple
n ented by two weeks course in
cheese making, with % enrolled, six
Of whom had previously taken the
six weeks course. Seventeen were
rev students, fifteen of these being
from various cheese factories over the
state. This marks another milestone
il. the production of good cheese in
c. lifornia. The six weeks course in
horticulture was attended by only 20,
which is very small number in pro-
portion to those actively engaged in
horticultural pursuits in this great
horticultural state.
Following the six weeks courses and
running parallel with the two weeks
course in cheese making, was a very
successful two weeks course in trac-
ton engineering, attended by S3 stu
dents, which is all that could be taken
care of with the equipment now avail
able at the University farm. How to
care for and use efficiently modern
farm tractors was taught to these
Visitors.
All of the students in attendance
were very enthusiastic, as shown by
the regular attendance at the lectures
and also by the organizations formed
ard the number Of extra night ses-
sions held. There was scarcely an
evening during the last three weeks
srecial meeting, held voluntarily. A
general short course organization was
formed, with George E. Chase of San
Jose as president, Wood N. Young Of
Birds Landing as vice president, Miss
Irma Woodworth of Yuba City as sec
rotary and w. G. Rhodes of Morgan
Hill as treasurer. The other men,
bers of the executive committee are
Walter l. Langdell of Camarillo, Mrs.
j. J. Berry of Oakland, Frank A. Fer
rim of San Jose and Oscar B. Larson
of Camarillo.
Each course also formed a special
organization for the purpose of con-
Quoting meetings along lines of spe-
cial interest to them.

TLAN TO PREVENT REPETITION
OF BABY SLINGSBY CASE
(By United Press)

London, Dec. 2.-London hospitals
are considering the use of baby foot
prints for purposes of identification
tn prevent baby mixups and obviate
repetition of the Baby Slingsby case.
Efforts have been made for some
time to take finger prints of new
born infants, but their tiny fists
s4uirm and clutch SO actively that the
plan failed.
The footprint is said to be quite as
distinctive as the finger print and a

ONIOrlGHdlelI DluuS mas no pleSi-
dent of the United Chicken Pens to
come to her aid with an eight-hour
There is no supreme court, with a
vain old rooster presiding over it, to
which the hens can take their griev-
ances.
The poultry raisers Of Arlington are
working their chickens 10 hours out
Of every "a with the aid OF electricity
and the hens have no recourse.
They are, in turn, producing many
ruore eggs in the long day than they
did in an eight-hour day.
There is every indication that the
chickens will be obliged to continue
their long hours, for it is lucrative
proposition to the owners of the pens,
and it is money they are after.
Double Egg Output.
c. r. Brown. one of the pioneers in
the lighting of the poultry houses, is
more than pleased with the result. At
q small expense for operation he is
able to produce 100 per cent more eggs
tnan before the incandescent globes
we're fastened the the ceiling of the
q icken houses.
Learning Of the s"Iccess with which
poultry raisers in the Van Nuys dis
tlict near Les Angeles and in several
large poultry centers Of the East
were meeting, Mr. Brown decided to
try the experiment himself. After
two months Of trial he is more than
convinced that the proposition is no
longer a mere theory.
, Selecting two houses, each with a
population of about 1850 laying hens,
on his egg farm at Bandini, Mr. Brown
had the buildings wired. Every 16
feet the electricians affixed 40-watt
tungsten light to the ceiling Of the
house. This made 10 lamps for each
house holding 1850 citizens Of the
poultry colony. Between these large
lamps he fastened to the boards at
regular intervals 2-candlepower lights.
The lamps in the houses are controlled
by switch from the family home.
How System Works.
When the alarm rings its merry
tattoo at o'clock in the morning it is
& sign for activity about the Brown
poultry ranch. The proprietor rises
and turns the switch, lighting large
lamps in the poultry houses. With the
advent of light the egg layers fly off
the roost and commence picking eup
particles Of the grain feed given them
il the litter on the floor the night
before. They also have before them
the remnants Of the green feed Of the
previous day and the usual dry feed
j.: the hoppers.
With the breaking Of day, when the
chickens can see to eat without artl-
ficial light, the current is turned off,
At dusk in the evening the lights
are again turned on and allowed to
burn until 7 or 1880 O'Clock. There
is no whistle to tell the chickens that
the day is over and it is time to 90
home, Instead the 40-watt lights are
turned out and the 2-candlepower
lamps lighted. 1t is by the smaller
lights that the chickens go to bed.
After few minutes the latter are
switched off and all is darkness and
quiet in the chicken plant, except for
an occasional complaint from some

DOUBLE EGG OUTPUT
USING ELECTRIC LIGHTS S

hen being crowded off the roost.
Ii the birds are not given a green
feed at o'clock in the evening, after
they have picked at the grain thrown
il the litter two hours before, Mr..
Brown has found that they will go to
roost. To allow no loafing on the job,
TIE green feed is distributed in the
pens just before the owner goes in to
his evening meal.
Tests have shown that by keeping
the interior of the buildings clean and
bright with whitewash, the amount of
C, trent needed to illuminate the
houses can be greatly reduced. That
the chickens might see the dry feed
l.oppers, Mr.. Brown had the boxes
covered with Wire, on which the light
shnes and attracts the chickens.
Morning Hours Count.
On farms where the lights are only
allowed to burn in the mornings, the
! 2-candlepower lamps for the hens to
20 TO bed by are not needed. 1t Is
krown that the best results from cleo
tr:city are obtained in the early morn
i, o, when the hens are fresh
During the two months that the
chickens have been working by electric
LIGHT, the egg output has doubled over
tic corresponding period of last year.
Il is expected that the high average of
o, p,oduction will continue during the
fall and winter months.
Of the several reasons advanced for
the increase of eggs, one is that the
'cl ickens get more time to eat the food
that goes into the egg. When they
eat more they lay more.
The cost of operating the lights is
a small item in comparison to the
benefits derived when eggs are worth
30 cents a dozen. With the days as
short as they are now, it means an
outlay of 30 cents day for the cur
rent consumed in the 20 large lights
and the small ones for the short time
they are burned. The cost of install
ing the system in each house was
$38.
Does 1t Injure?
Some reasons have been advanced,
to show that the working of the hens
overtime is detrimental to their egg
making organism. The following is
the way one authority puts it clear
ly:
GAS a temporary eXpedient there
nay be a transitory increase under
the lighting system, but ultimately
We believe it detrimental to the vigor
and usefulness of the birds, if not the
present generation then certainly IN
progeny. This overwork must result
in loss of vitality and stamina, just
as excessive labor eventually exhausts
both men and women. You cannot
fill here without emptying there, and
nature will not long submit to a
strain in one direction without de-
nanding toll in another. This working
kens overtime by artificial light is not
by any means new. Nevertheless, we
have never heard of any poultry com
pllnity where the practice has become
general, much less covering any con-
Siderable period of time in its opera
tion. Riverside Enterprise.
