ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTING
By III. e. CUSHMAN

q. have been told that certain
kind of lights keep hens from lay
ing soft shelled eggs. But I do not
know whether they are infrared
lights or ultraviolet lights. Can
you please tell which I want and
whether they are worth the cost of
installing them?-Mrs. .. p. F..
Yellowstone county.
A. You want the ultraviolet lights.
The infrared lights simply provide
heat, while the ultraviolet lights
have the same beneficial effect that
are obtained from the suns rays.
With ultraviolet lights the hens are
able to make use of shell material.
They give the same results that a
good source of vitamin D does. With
out vitamin d, the hen is unable to
absorb calcium from her feed into
her blood stream.
You asked whether it was econo-

more than 20 feet apart and they
should not be more than 6 feet from
the floor.
The ultraviolet lights should be
placed over the feeders SO that the
birds not only have maximum light
for seeing to eat but also are sure
to be irradiated. You know a hen
does not have very much of her body
which can be irradiated. The ultra
violet light wont go through feath-
ers. So she has to get all the bene-
fits through her comb and wattles.
1t does not take very much ir-
radiation per bird, but you are not
sure just how long it will take for
each and every bird to get up to the
feeder, thus we suggest that the
lights be turned on about 5 in the
morning in the winter and left on
until daylight.
Also | might mention something
else II you are planning to start
either the ultraviolet lights or Just
ordinary lights. Don't ever do it all
of sudden. You will Just undo
any benefits that you expect. With
sudden lighting you can throw all
of your birds into a mott and they
wont come back until after the high
prices for eggs have ''clean gone
by"
WATER HEATER
q. Have you any suggestions for
making homemade wafer heater?
We have electricity installed in
the hen house,. T. H. Teton
county.
A. Yes we are sending you the
Poultry Equipment bulletin which
gives a very simple arrangement. A
portion of the bottom of a water
bucket is cut out and tin can ex-
tending up into the bucket is sold
cred to its bottom. This is then set
over a heating unit which is bolted
to firm base. Any other person
liking the plan can also be sent the
bulletin.
