Electric Lights Boost Egg Production in Poultry
Reports from the British Dominating Engineering society describe experiments where two groups of pullets fed identically showed contrasting yields. One group under 10 minutes daily ultraviolet exposure produced significantly more eggs, with outputs reversing when treatments were swapped. Wisconsin tests echoed UV benefits on chick growth.

Determining Hen Laying Onset by Lay Bone Width

Poultry Care Emphasizes Vigorous Flocks and Sunlight
The article urges using sunlight as a cheap disinfectant in poultry houses and stresses vigor for hens, one-year-olds, and hatched pullets. It notes turkeys are less profitable, advises grit and charcoal, and warns that baggy or wedge-shaped hens indicate digestion problems and reduced laying potential.

Green Feeds for Dairy Cow Ration
United States Department of Agriculture studies show green rye and green cowpeas fed to dairy cows after milking do not noticeably alter milk flavor or odor. Experiments with Holstein and Jersey cows found up to 20 pounds of green rye and 30 pounds of green cowpeas can be given postmilking without objectionable taste effects, though cowpeas more often affect flavor than rye.

Cow Feeding Guide Based on Individuality and Milk Output
The document explains dairy cow feed values for wheat corn and oats, and emphasizes adjusting rations to cow size milk yield and butter fat. It recommends grains at one pound per three pints of milk, or one pound per four pints if over five gallons daily, and to feed all roughage to appetite unless the cow fattenes, then reduce grain.
Minerals for Cows in Winter Feeding
If cows receive legume hay alfalfa clover soybeans or sweet clover in winter and graze well in summer there is no mineral deficiency except perhaps with very heavy producers. If legume hays are not fed and for very heavy producers two to four pounds of steamed bone meal ground rock phosphate finely ground limestone or wood ashes should be fed with each 100 pounds of grain.
