MAKING HENS LAY
 DURING DARK WINTER DAYS Poultry Sharps at Morton F. Plants Eastern Point Farms Devise Method

At Morton F. Plants Eastern Point estate, Branford Farms, the poultry experts are trying to experiment in automatic fed, electric lighted poultry houses, and are of the opinion that the solution of winter egg production has been achieved.
 The system consists of houses of any desirable number, 20 feet square. in which are housed 100 birds, each house fitted with four Apaco grain feeders. three Norwich automatic dry mash hoppers, and two Norwich au- tomatic air lock nonfreezing foun- tains.
 Artificial Lighting. ;.
 The artificial lighting of the house Is accomplished with one two candle power lamp located over the roosts and three 40 candle power lamps. These lights are controlled by an au- tomatic time switch and during the dark months of winter the houses are Illuminated at o'clock in the after noon and the lights continued until 9.15 r. m. At that time the automatic switches cut out the three 40 candle power lamps. leaving the two candle power lamp over the roost burning. The birds seek the roost as soon as the light in the house is dinmed. and at 9.30 the 2 candle power lamp is ex- tinguished.
 Wake up Signal.
 At o'clock the next mornign, the lights are automatically switched on, | the birds leave the roost and imme dlately go to work on the feeders, hop pers and fountains The lights are continued until o'clock, when they are again automatically switched off and the birds permitted to operate un- der natural light for the rest of the Jay.
 Egg Yield Remarkable.
 The results are remarkable. for dur. ing November, 1917. the four hundred birds in the system which the farms are operating produced 28S2 eggs against 300 eggs from a similar mum. Der of birds of exactly the same hatches, brooded, ranged, and cullei ar the same time, and operated if dark GOODS where they were fed three times daily and given extra care.
 In the lighted houses the bird. shifted for themselves, and yet show this remarkable production in eggs December has shown yield of 366 eggs in the light houses and sSS egg in the dark houses, and at the pric, of eggs this winter the system. show remarkable profit as the difference il feeding under the dark and hghte, systems is only approximately $2 more. for the 400 birds in the lighte. houses over those in the dark houses l Birds Thrive.
 The system is most interesting ii the fact that the birds thrive wonder fully under it, and even during tn cold, dark days of winter they hay the appearance of spring birds and ar } in splendid condition.
 In order to thoroughly test the sys tenn, no attempt was made in the SC | lection of birds to include the bes laying stock in these pens, as the idle

to individuals, and they assume no responsibility for the use to winch these firms or corporations put their stamps.
 Banks can obtain stamps in excess of s1,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank of their district by putting up cash instead of securities as collat- eral. They will then receive their stamps on consignment account and render monthly statements of sales to the Federal Reserve Bank.
 Banks may keep their customers supplied with such amounts of stamps as they require in the case of all GUS toners who are carrying balances with them, and this may be done without such customers being appointed agents. Such customers, however, should be warned that while the banks will supply them with stamps in any amounts covered by their balances, these stamps cannot be cashed in their own names or in the name of their firm at maturity to value of more than s1o0O.
 Completed thrift cards of sixteen 25-cent stamps should not be ex- changed for cash. The only method recognized by the government is to exchange them for War Savings Ger. ! tifcates."
