KEEPS HENS UP LATE.
Cornell Gives Poultry i6-Hour Day and
8-Hour Night:

Pullets dining until 9 0 clock every
night, even in the smallest towns and
on farms and oHtlaying the most sea-
soned hens; electric or other lights IN
every COOP summer prices for eggs IN Il
winter and better health for chickens
were predictions fer the immediate fu-
ture in the poultry world made by Pro
fessor James f. Rice of the department 1
of poultry hnsbandry, Cornell nniver-
sitv, at the sectional meeting of the /
New York state federation of poultry /
associations at the Hotel Commodore.
Professor Rice declared that tests |
carried on at Cornell during period Of
fortv-eight weeks, of which the most /
accurate records of the LAYING capacity |
of more than 200 hens and pullets and |
the effect of lights on the egg produc-
ton were kept, has proved beyond i
doubt that lights in chicken coops have
direct effect on the productions Of
eggs. The coops were kept lighted un-
| til o'clock every night throughout
the test and the egg totals showed that
| 100 hens and pullets in the lighted
chicken house produced l35 $40 dozens
more eggs than the chickens in the un-
Elighted coops that went down. Early
to bed doesn t get Il regular chicken
anything, was the chief fact dem
onstrated.
The reason for the increased pro-
duction of eggs in lighted coops was
] given by Professor Rice as being that
the hens had more time in which to eat.
| There was no long wait between sup
| per and breakfast. The same amount
of feed was required by the busy lay
ers as by the hens that were not laying,
however, he said, bat the hens who had
the artifcially long day s"Fletcherized'
their chicken feed and did not get up
in the morning PLAYED out and ra-
venous.
In money, wholesale prices, the in
creased dozens of eggs III the lighted
coop amounted to $77vS8. In each
chicken house the hundred layers were
fifty-ffty nullets and the older hens
, and pullets beat the seasoned layers in
number of eggs produced. The light
had no other effect on the poultry ex-
cept that they maintained somewhat
better health.
The average increase in production
of eggs for hens in lighted eoops was
placed at lone dozen or more pei
= year by Professor Rice The poultry
man has absolute control over the egg
o production, as was discovered at Cor
nell, by turning the light switch. Lay,
d ing pullets quit laying when the lights
Z were turned off for period and hegar
again when the lights went on. Th'
strike for late suppers was actually
made by twenty-five pullets.
G, Professor Rice explained that th'
reason so much profit was made on tn
e eggs was because the hens continued
laying through the late autumn AM
II early winter when the price of eggs i
highest. He said that all the light i
c. for is to keep the hen at her feeding
Observing that the chicken is natiy
to tropical countries where they hav

nights, just at the beginning of white

of the hens.--Burlington Free Press.

ABOUT THE STARS
Venus (C0ntinued.D

One argument advanced against
the probable rotation of Venus upon
her axis is that she has little or no
depression at the poles. The theory
IS that a body of this kind while rap
idly rotating would cause it to bulge
out at the eqautor and contract at the
poles. This being the case in most OF
the planets. The earth, for instance
has n difference of wepty-seVen miles
between the equatorial and her polar
diameters. In the case of Jupiter and
Saturn the difference is much great
er. This fact would tend to the con-
cIusion that Venus has a very slow
rotation. Another one of her pecul-
iarities is that she inclines very little
to the plane of her orbit, less than
three degrees. This unfortunate cir
cumstance would deprive her of the
agreeable change of seasons such as

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
hEnTIONED IN BIELE

Il commend unto you Phoebe, our
sister, who is a servant of the Church
which is at Cenchrea,' wrote St. Paul
to the Romans. that ye assist her in
whatsoever business she hath need
Of you, for she hath been a succorer
of many and of myself also
Phoebe, explains Biblical history,
was a woman who went about nursing
the sick and teaching them better
methods of living. Phoebe was the
first public health nurse.
Public health nursing, which is one
of the most important enterprises in
the peace program Of the American
Red Cross, is not a new movement,
but it is one which heretofore has
never received its just need of atten-
tion as a factor in maintaining the
health Of the nation.
Phoebe's sister in the twentieth CEN
tury is the community nurse who
teaches better, cleaner living. Because
the betterment Of public health is now
definitely accepted as an individual
and a community responsibility. the
Red Cross will make 4 definite effort
to raise the standards Of living in the
United States by urging the employ
ment of public health nurses in all
cities. towns and rural districts, par
ticularly in those where there are no
organized public health activities. \
healthier, happier America-that is
what the Red Cross is striving toward
in its Roll Call the first weeks in No

FOR A NATIONAL BUDGET

THERE is little or no pros
AL pect of legislation for
- national budget system
being enacted during the
special session of congress. But
there is a chance that during
the long days of the regular ses-
sion that begins Dec. /, this i'm
portant measure will pass both
houses and it undoubtedly will
receive the signature of the
president, who has long been
an advocate of such a law.
President Wilson and former
President Taft have done
much to prepare the people as
a whole for the installation of
a budget system. The average
citizen neither knew what a
budget is, or cared, but when
national leaders kept pounding
the need of one, and pointed
out that congressional eXtrava-
gances could be curtailed, the
vote for it.
Joseph w. Byrns of Tennes-
see, ranking democratic mem
Der of the house appropriations
committee, and who has had
much to do with the drawing
up of the budget bill, recently
pointed out the long time it has
taken to educate the people to
the necessity of a budget.
In discussing the house bud
get Mr.. Byrns emphasized
that "the chief merit of this bill
is that it fixes responsibility
and brings the full light OF
public opinion to bear on those
responsible, and in that way 1t
will surely bring about a great
er economy and efficiency IN
government"

we enjoy. Localities in the same lati-
tude would have practically the same
season all of the year around. Even
an event 80 rare as day in June"
would become irksome in course of
time, But there ,may be mitigating
circumstances we know not of.
Whether or not Venus is inhabited
is a matter of speculation and one
person can guess as well as another
upon that interesting subject But Of
one fact we are positive and that is
that she is a most beautiful orb and
a very agreeable neighbor; one whose
acquaintance we should cultivate. She
is alternately evening and morning
star, occupying each OF these posi-
tions for about nine months at each
period though not visible for more
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-10-23

than eight months owing to her close
the time. She never appears more
than 45 degrees above the horizon or
about the same length of time before
sunsise when morning star. 1t re-
gures thirteen revolutions of Venus
around the sun to equal eight of the
earth That IS to say that thirteen
years on Venus is equal to eight years
upon the earth. Now it so happens
that at the end of this cycle the two
planets approach each other at the
I closest points in their orbits, being
| only about 25 million miles apart at
those times. 1t is then that Venus Is
+ seen at her greatest splendor. The
next event Of this kind will occur in
the spring of 1921.

Nash Truck Is Make
for Real Service; Has
Many Improvement;

The highest approved methods of
truck construction are in the Nash
models. officials of the Nash Motor
company declare. The satisfactory
performance Of the trucks in daily
service and their unusually low cost
to operate Is due, in no small, meas
ure, to the fact that they are equip
ped with the automatic locking diff
ferential.
The famous Nash quad, used ex-
tensively in the allied armies, won
distinction. The quad drives, brakes
and steers on ali four wheels, and
is a marked evolution in the con-
struction Of automobile trucks.
When one drive wheel of the truck
with ordinary type of differential be-
comes mired or into deep snow, it
receives little. if any power to help
itself out For because this wheel
is getting the greatest traction re-
sistance, the power is all going to
the other wheel so fast that it loses
traction altogether and spins, leav-
ing both wheels without driving
power, and putting the truck out OF
service until it receives aid.
With the automatic locking differ
entail, on Nash trucks, the wheel
with the greatest traction receives
the greatest power, mechanics de-
clare. On the straight-away, the in
slant one wheel starts to travel fast
er than the other, the differential
locks automatically. The drive axle
becomes a solid one and the power
of the motor is distributed to the
wheels in the exact proportion to
the traction they are getting.
Ali models of the Nash trucks will
be on display in the truck section
of the Automobile Show.
