an attractive finish to a table set

"—and the extra egg money more 
than paid for our plant”— writes a 
pleased farmer who lighted his henhouses last winter 
with Union Carbide Gas from his Colt "Gas Well” 
Poultry experts unite in 
insisting on plenty of sun¬ 
light in the henhouses. 
They attribute to sunlight 
the tonic effect of main¬ 
taining the birds in maxi¬ 
mum production condi¬ 
tion, and the power to dis¬ 
pel the majority of poultry 
diseases. Exhaustive tests 
prove Union Carbide Gas¬ 
light to be .the nearest ap¬ 
proach to sunlight. This 
light in the henhouses will 
provide your laying birds 
with the nearest natural 
illuminant for increasing 
production and the other 
valuable effects of sun¬ 
light. 
Poultry research discovers the hen 
of tropical origin, of long sunlit 
days and short nights. Experiments 
have demonstrated the hen’s diges¬ 
tive organism to be fashioned on 
the 14-hour plan—and 9 hours of 
winter daylight positively won’t 
do, if you expect an egg a day and a 
contented healthy bird. Nature 
simply pulls a strike on you. 
The farm hen has demonstrated be¬ 
yond all question the fact that she is a 
dependable profit payer through the 
winter months (the period of high egg 
prices), when Union Carbide Gas from 
the Colt “ Gas Well ” lights the henhouses to make the necessary 
12-to-14-hour working day. The extra hours of light will enable your 
hens to exercise and take in the food reserve needed for more eggs. 
A Colt "Gas Well” on your farm 
The Colt “Gas Well” is installed in the ground—in the yard. 
From it comes Union Carbide Gas, made automatically as needed. 
It will light your house and barn. It will cook your meals. It 
relieves the drudgery of washday, and keeps the iron hot. Be¬ 
sides converting the henhouse into a source of profit, the Colt “ Gas 
Well” has become a necessity for the farm home. 
Colt “Gas Well” users are increasing in vast numbers. Get your 
Colt Lighting-and-Cooking Plant now—be ready when the time
