Safe  Lighting  Swicth  for  Henhouse 
I  hitve  seen  several  diagrams  of  devices 
for  turning  light  on  in  henhouses  by  the 
use  of  alarm  clocks.  I  also  read  the  ar¬ 
ticle  on  page  145  by  George  Phipps,  in 
which  he  said  all  these  devices  are  in  di¬ 
rect  violation  of  the  fire  underwriters’ 
code.  I  am  enclosing  a  rough  sketch  of 
a  device  which  will  pass  the  underwriters’ 
inspection  if  the  wiling  is  installed  ac¬ 
cording  to  the  code.  1  think  the  drawing 
will  be  clear  enough  so  that  all  will  be 
understood.  The  safety  switch  is  of  the 
knife  type,  30  amp.,  125  volt,  any  stand¬ 
ard  make,  such  as  the  Square  D  or  Trum¬ 
bull. 
To  turn  the  lights  on  the  cord  is  run 
from  the  spool  on  the  clock  through  a 
small  pulley  and  fastened  to  the  handle 
of  the  switch.  If  the  lights  are  to  be 
turned  off,  run  the  cord  from  the  clock 
direct  to  the  switch.  If  the  switch  works 
hard,  a  little  vaseline  on  the  blades  of 
the  switch  will  be  all  that  is  needed.

Advantages  of  Stone  Henhouse 
In  reply  to  your  request  for  informa¬ 
tion  regarding  stone  henhouse,  would  say 
there  are  still  more  advantages  than  stat¬ 
ed.  They  are  permanent,  they  require 
no  paint  except  the  frames,  are  warmer 
in  ‘Winter  and  cooler  in  Summer,  and  are 
not  subject  to  a  sudden  change  with  a 
sudden  drop  in  the  temperature.  There 
is  no  danger  from  frost  condensing  on  the 
walls  if  properly  constructed.  I  am  liv¬ 
ing  in  a  stone  house,  just  recently  built, 
which  substantiates  above  statements.

Hens  Pulling  Feathers 
Noting  trouble  with  hens  pulling  feath¬ 
ers,  I  had  the  same  trouble  years  ago,  and 
I  cured  every  one  of  them  from  pulling 
feathers  in  one  evening.  Take  a  sharp 
knife,  small  blade,  take  the  hen  off  from 
the  roost  and  pare  the  upper  mandible 
on  each  side  and  the  point  of  bill  also, 
and  just  a  little  off  from  the  lower  man¬ 
dible.  Take  every  bird  in  flock  and  do 
the  same,  and  then  watch  them  try  to 
pull  feathers  the  next  day.  It  can’t  be 
done ;  the  feather  will  slip  right  through 
the  bill,  and  they  will  soon  forget  it.

Hens  with  Worms 
Our  Leghorn  pullets  have  worms  about 
3  in.  long.  Will  you  advise  treatment, 
and  will  it  affect  their  laying?  We  are 
now  getting  a  40  per  cent  production,  and 
would  not  care  to  stop  it,  yet  realize  that 
we  must  getv  rid  of  the  worms.  K.  b. 
Setauket,  N.  Y. 
A  moderate  number  of  worms  do  not 
appear  to  injure  fowls,  but  when  they  ap¬ 
pear  in  excessive  numbers  they  make  seri¬ 
ous  trouble.  The  round  worms,  which 
you  have  probably  found,  may  be  got  rid 
of  by  the  tobacco  treatment.  This  con¬ 
sists  of  steeping  1  lb.  of  finely  out  tobacco 
stems  for  two  hours  in  enough  water  fo 
cover,  then  adding  the  liquor  and  stems 
to  four  quarts  of  moist  mash  and  feeding 
it  to  the  birds  that  itave  been  fasting  since 
the  previous  day.  This  should  be  fed  to 
100  fowls,  and  in  the  middle  of  the  after¬ 
noon.  A  few  hours  later  1  lb.  of  Epsom 
salts  should  be  dissolved  in  moist  mash 
and  fed  to  the  birds,  giving  aboyt  three 
quarts  of  mash  and  seeing  to  it  that  each  i 
bird  got  its  share.  If  the  dropping  and 
expelled  worms  are  not  promptly  removed 
after  this  treatment,  the  birds  may  quickly  i 
become  reinfected.  A  greater  or  less  num¬ 
ber  of  fowls  should,  of  course,  receive  ' 
proportionate  amounts  of  the  tobacco  and 
salts. 
I  should  expect  this,  or  any  other  ef¬ 
ficient  worm  treatment,  to  temporai-ily 
derange  the  production  in  your  dock  of 
pullets.  It  might  be  best  to  postpone  it 
until  next  Summer  unless  you  believe  that  | 
worms  are  present  in  considerable  num¬ 
bers.  m.  b.  D_  I
