Vitamin Dan essential to strong,
healthy birds and to more eggs with
a greater percentage OF hatchability
and fertility.
A second major use Of electricity
in maintaining the winter laying eff
ficiency Of your flock is for water
warmers. AS an egg is about two
thirds water, much if not all of the
benefits of electric lights will be lost
if your hens are not provided with
an adequate and regular supply Of
water at the proper temperature
minimum of approximately SO de-
greas. The safest and most convent
ent method Of warming the water is
with electrical heaters. the INNER
sion type with thermostat control be-
ing preferred because OF its ease OF
handling and freedom from atten-
ton.
What will poultry lights and water
warmers cost you? Excluding wiz
ing, and with power at five cents per
kilowatt-hour, the lights VIII vary
from D10 to $40 cents per bird per
month, depending on the schedule
you use. Water warmers, at the same
rate, will cost from one to five cents
each per day, the average being near
er the lower figure. When used froln
about September to April l, lights
and water warmers will give you n
net gain in income of Is to SO cents
per hen per year-frequently more.

lighting of poultry houses can be Oh.

WILL the egg production of your
w flock decline sharply with the
coming Of winter? Or will there be
little or no decrease in the number
of eggs you obtain? Assuming, of
course, that your hens are free of
disease, the answer will depend al
most entirely upon whether or not
your poultry house is wired for cleo
-tricity.
What has electricity to Go with
maintaining the laying efficiency of
your hens? In the first place, they re-
quire thirteen to fifteen hours of light
per day to consume sufficient food to
lay regularly. When days are short
September to April-there is only
enough natural light to permit them
to eat little more than is necessary
to keep up their body weight. AS
result, the production of eggs is
greatly decreased just when prices
are highest.
By using electric lights to artificial
1y increase the working day and thus
give your hens a normal amount of
time to exercise and eat, their egg
production can be kept approximate
iy uniform Throughout the winter.
Although standard Ish+ bulbs are
commonly used for poultry house il
Illumination, ultra-v toilet lamps have
become increasingly more popular
during the past sew raj years. These
also furnish an invisible light that
supplies the necessary quantities of

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The stock
markets war boom fever cooled fur
ther today, and in the most sluggish
session since the outbreak Of Euro
pean hostilities leading issues nm
ished the week with indecisive
trends.
The continuing bright business
picture was the principal bolstering
influence, brokers said. and board
rooms, while watching overseas bull
letins closely, seemed to view hap
penings abroad with a somewhat
greater degree Of equanimity.
With the weekend recess at hand
many traders inclined to shelve
commitments and cash additional
profits on the lengthy upswing.
There was sufficient short covering,
for the same reason, to prevent any
real weakness on most groups.
Long Fight Possible.
Main discussion in financial quar-
ters centered on Congress. and
while the majority of observers be-
lieved the President would succeed
in getting the arms embargo re-
pealed, it was suggested that II the
opposition should bring on a long,
drawn-out battle markets might be
adversely affected.
The list got off to a hesitant start
and slipped and rallied at intervals
during the remainder of the pro-
ceedings. Quiet strength in rail-
way equipments, rails, oils and spe-
cialties Offset tagging tendencies ex-
hibited by number of the former
high-fying war stocks.
The Associated Press average of
go issues was unchanged at 52.8,
but was up S of a point on the
week, the third consecutive weeks
advance. Transfers amounted to
562, AGO shares, smallest turnover
since August 26, compared with
1904, ,280 last Saturday. The weeks
volume of around 9,000,000 shares
was sharp contraction from about
10000 in the previous week.
Rise Fractions to 81.

stock to hit the double-century
mark this year was Allied Chemical
which lately touched 2001a. Allied,
though, was one of the weakest in
the brief proceedings, losing 4 points
at 1872.

Auto Trends Differ.

The utility figures. which cover
the metropolitan area, illustrate the
growth of the entire market here,
but automobile registrations offer
a significant contrast In trends as
between the District itself and the
adjoining Maryland and Virginia
sections.
While District registrations are
ahead of year ago, they remain
behind 1886 and 1887. The adjoin-
ing sections show uninterrupted
gains since 1888. This same con-
trast is seen in school registrations
and the fact that more family units
are being provided by home con-
struction in the adjoining sections
than in the District. Because of
the Districts small area of 1924
square miles, residential develop
ment has pushed beyond.
District automobile registrations
at the end of August this year are

ish activity in transportation circles
and a big contra-seasonal demand
for tin plate today added impetus
to this districts rapidly rising busi-
ness barometer.
Rail, motor and river carriers
were reported operating at top levels
for two years. due to the crush of
shipments from steel and other
heavy industries.
Estimates place steel production
in the Pittsburgh district at 70 per
cent Of capacity next week, COM
pared with an actual operating rate
Of IS per cent this week.
Bituminous coal production is re-
ported at its best level since Decem-
Der of 1887. One leading producer
said he was having difficulty OBJ
tanning cargo space for Great Lakes
shipments.

Pennsylvania Motor Truck Associa-

tomobile freight transportation field
was up between IS and so per cent

He reported all registered firms in
the area operating at capacity and
predicted motor transportation VOL
ume for the State, which amounted
to $25 ,000, 900 last year. would be
doubled during the current IL
months.
A high official of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad estimated tonnage
handled by the road thus far in
September as 80 per cent above the
same period in 1888 and 10 per cent
in excess of the volume for the
first three weeks Of August.
At the same time E. w. Smith,
