Artificial lighting by extending hens working day increases egg production, especially when prices peak. This is part of a 62 article series on poultry raising by Dr. L. D. Le Gear from St. Louis, with readers urged to study and clip for reference.
A discussion on how artificial lighting lengthens the day for hens in fall and winter. It explains how more feeding with proper nutrients, aided by light, increases egg production by 25 to 50 percent, though total yearly yield may not rise. The piece notes the biology of egg formation and the tropical origin of the digestive system.
The article explains how bright artificial lighting extends feeding and egg production in hens. It recommends 50-watt bulbs every ten feet in shallow houses, or a double row in deeper houses, with lights on from around 4 30 a m to daylight, or until 6 pm, to boost daily hours and profits. It notes whitewashed interiors aid light reflection and that electric lighting is cost efficient and may be automatic.
