LIGHT THE HENCOOP
AND GET MORE EGGS

Springfield, Mass, FEB. Ga IL to
14-hour day for hens has been decreed
by poultry experts. Moreover, In fiat
contradiction of labor union couten-
tons, the poultry author tiles insist
that the longer day makes for in
creased efficiency, which in the case
CT high grade poultry means more and
better eggs.
About year ago a Hampden farm
er excited the rnerriment Of his
neighbors by installing an electric
light in his hen house. Natural his
tory, he said, taught that the hen
was absolutely without brains. and
he proposed to convince his hens that
longer days had arrived and that they
should lay more eggs. Despite deris-
i've comment by neighbors the farmer
doubled his egg output at the season
at which eggs were highest in price.
Prof. James q. Rice of Cornell Uni +.
versity in an address to poultrymen in
Hartford advocated twelve-hour day
for hens. The hen, he said, was
brought from near the equator, where
days and nights are of equal length.
Artificial light in itself does not mean
more eggs, Prof. Rice said, but the
longer period of light gives the hens
more opportunity to exercise. With
out artificial light the hen practically
hihernates in the short days of the
year and lays but sparingly, which ac-
counts for dollar-a-dozen eggs.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-02-06

Jacksonville, Feb. 6.-.The United
States bureau of markets inaugurated
service of great value to both ship
pers and consignee which protects
the interests of both and saves the
loss frequently occasioned in the past
by INSCRIPTIONS agencies.
The food products inspection SER
vice of the federal bureau Of markets
maintains a skilled corps of inspec.
tors located in the important market
centers of the county. Upon applica-
ton to the inspector in charge at any
of these markets thorough inspec-
ton Of CARROTS or less than CARROTS Of
perishable fruits or vegetables will be
made for the applicant at charge
of $3.50 per car or $3.50 for less than
than a carload.
Illustration Is Given
An apple shipper for example, 10
Gated in New York, may ship to a
dealer in Jacksonville car of apples
in response to an order OF the latter
for certain grade of fruit. IL the
shipper fails to ship the grade Or
dered, or possibly ship unsound or
poor quality fruit, the receiver may
apply to d. w. Hadsell, inspector in
charge in jacksonville, for an inspec-
ton. The latter then inspects the
carlot and issues an inspection certih-
cate which is prima facie evidence in
any court of the quality and condi-
ton Of the produce inspected. On
the other hand If the receiver wrong
fully alleges that the shipment is of
poor quality or condition and, perhaps
wires the shipper to that effect, the
shipper very likely will apply for an
inspection, wiring Mr.. Hadsell to that
effect, andt he latter then protects
the shippers interests in the shipment
by making an inspection.
Consignees are always much averse
to rejecting shipment of produce, as
they feel that by so doing it Injuries
their reputation with the shipper
with whom they wish to remain in
good standing. But with an inspec-
ton certificate to prove their conten-
ton there is no room for doubt on the
part of the shipper as to the quality
and condition Of the product upon
arrival at market point.
obviates Court Procedure
This inspection service has been
much in demand here since the re.
sumption of this market, and the
brokers and wholesalers find that
they can usually settle their claims
out of court when such claims are
backed by certificate. In order that
shippers in Florida may be advised of
the location and addresses of the va.
rious inspectors stationed in the i'm
portant markets Of the country, the
following list is given and should be
Kept on file for this purpose.
The application for inspection may
be wired to the inspector in charge
at any of the following stations, and
prompt inspection will be made. This
service is invaluable to shippers and
large growers and should be made use
Of in all cases of doubtful character.
The saving is often several hundred
dollars on a car, while the cost of
such an inspection is only $3.50.
The application for inspection may
be wired to the inspector in charge at
anyNof the following stations and
