Problems in Henhouse Lighting 
I have been ranch interested in the ar¬ 
ticle on artificial lighting, to increase egg 
production, by Victor G. Aubry, but there 
is one vital point on which he and other 
writers do not touch, and that is the mat¬ 
ter of insurance. It is getting more and 
more difficult for the New England farmer 
to place any insurance on his property, 
and if the average farmer should attempt 
to light his poultry-houses with either 
kerosene or gasoline light, one of two 
things will happen; either his policies will 
be canceled or the rates will advance to a 
point that will diminish about all profit. 
I am fortunate in being situated that I 
can use electric lights, hut before going 
to the expense of installing them, I should 
like Mr. Aubry to answer a few questions. 
It_ he felt reasonably sure of getting from 
7;> Wyandotte pullets from 50 per cent to 
00 per cent or better lay from the middle 
of November to the end of January would 
he advise putting in lights? Which would 
give the better results, one 100-watt light, 
or two 50-watt lights placed in different 
parts of the pen? Would the pullets get¬ 
ting to work in the morning in the lighted 
pen have a bad or disturbing effect on an 
adjoining pen of breeding stock that was 
not lighted? E. A. p. 
Southampton, Mass. 
A 50 to GO per cent egg production be¬ 
tween the middle of this month and the 
end of January even under lights is quite 
a heavy production. Although this has 
been accomplished in a great many cases, 
I would not bank on a production quite 
so high as that. A 50 to GO per cent pro¬ 
duction for that time would mean be¬ 
tween 30 and -15 eggs per bird. These 
eggs, at least on the New York wholesale 
market, for that period, would average 
between G^A and 7c apiece. Figuring the 
minimum, Gc for 35 eggs. $2.10 would be 
the return on eggs per bird. The maxi¬ 
mum cost of feed, figuring at 30c a month 
per bird, would bo 7oc. This would leave 
you a return of $1.35 per bird over the 
cost of feed I think two 50-watt lights 
plated in different parts of the pen would 
be better than one 100-watt light in the 
center of the pen. The pullets going to 
work in the early morning under lights 
would for some time disturb the hens 
which were in the next pen, but I think 
at the end of ten days or two weeks that 
these hens would get over this trouble and I 
at least it would not harm them. 
VICTOR G. AUBRY. 
Ailing Pullets 
For several weeks my pullets have had 
some sort of disease. At first the fowls 
seem to walk around with feathers fluffed 
out; then seem to be wobbly on their 
legs, and perhaps are somewhat blind, 
hardly able to see distinctly, and twist 
their heads peculiarly, as though it was 
nark. Next they become lame or stiff in 
one leg, which will stick out in an awk¬ 
ward direction, and finally both legs be¬ 
come practically useless. During all this 
time the pullets seem to be hungry and 
thirsty, eating and drinking as well as 
ever, though they become very thin I 
have changed scratch feed, and ground 
teed, had them out on free range and had 
them shut up. I have changed houses 
and done everything I could think of. 
Lan^you help me out? E. B. s. 
West Cornwall, Conn. 
It is quite possible that all these symp- J 
toms are caused by the presence of large i 
numbers of intestinal worms, and a careful 
examination of the interior of the intes¬ 
tinal tract of a dead bird should disclose ! 
this fact.if such is the case. If worms are 
found, oil of turpentine mqy be given to 
each affected bird, either alone or mixed 
with an equal amount of some bland oil. 
The dose is a teaspoonful to a grown fowl, 
and it is beet administered through a soft 
rubber catheter passed gently down to the 
crop. Worm medicines should be given 
after .a fast of a few hours, and are more 
effective if followed by a cathartic, such 
as a small teaspoonful of Epsom salts or 
one or two of castor oil to each bird. 
Careful observation of these pullets after 
giving the remedies should enlighten you 
as to the presence of worms in sufficient 
uumbers to do damage. m. b. d. 
Sour Milk for Feeding; Concrete Floor 
in Henhouse 
1. Is new milk fed to pigs after being 
put through the separator just as good 
for them as when soured? 2. What do 
you think of a coucrete floor in hen¬ 
house? My henhouse has a dirt bottom, 
but I am thinking of putting in concrete. 
Lyndouville, N. Y. w. K. 
1. Milk, if it is properly soured, has 
all the feeding ingredients in it that it 
had previous to the change. In addition, 
there is a form of lactic acid which is 
very beneficial as an appetizer as well 
as a conditioner. It helps keep the 
digestive organs in the best of condition, 
and I certainly would advise that you 
sour the milk before feeding it. 
2. Concrete floors are fine for poultry 
houses, provided they are well built. 
They should he thoroughly drained and 
on heavy soils. We sometimes find it 
necessary to dig down feet and fill 
with broken stones and cinders, which 
are stamped hard before putting on the 
finishing coat of cement on the top.

lHIS formula is recognized as ideal by ex¬ 
pert raisers of poultry. Ubiko Buttermilk 
Egg Mash contains 9 different ingredients 
made up into an exactly balanced ration. It 
would be impossible to get more than a few of these ingredients at 
your feed store. 
UBIKO 
Buttermilk Egg Mash 
is a cheaper mash than you could mix yourself and it is an unfailing 
result producer. It is wholesome; it is 90 percent digestible; the lactic 
acid in its dried buttermilk aids digestion and prevents disease. It 
contains 19 percent protein; 8 percent ash, mostly from bone phos¬ 
phates, and only 6 percent fibre. No crushed rock. No alfalfa. 
A splendid winter ration consists of feeding sprouted oats, all they 
will eat in the morning, Ubiko Buttermilk Egg Mash, before them in 
self-feeding hoppers all the time, and as much good scratch feed at 
night as they will clean up in litter. This system followed with an 
abundance of pure fresh water, oyster shells, charcoal, and grit, will 
insure a steady supply of winter eggs.

pert poultry man. It is yours tor the asking.)
