mercy which Iaklngton had never

door the end came. Some one must

steel weight revolving on an arm
whizzed out from the wall and struck

weight, unchecked, changed suddenly

which he was proudest break the In

from necessity rather than frcm
choice, for, given an opportunity to
eat, exercise, and enjoy herself for II
hours a day, she lays nearly, if not
quite so well, as during the summer
months.
Acting on this theory many poultry
keepers have found it profitable to
light their poultry houses for several
hours each day. This heightened day,
together with the right kind of feed
and plenty of exercise, has been found
to increase to a marked degree the
number of eggs laid by pullets in the
fall and winter. 1t does not pay to
provide light for older hens. A A.

the winter months is the aim of these
