It is. unusual, and in Most cases. very unwise, to'publish figures in re- gard to experiments until the ma- terial has been very thoroughly test- ed, but in thia particular case, cent sidering the high cost of teens and the general scarcitY of new Iaid eggs, we are giving the ogures on a rather short teat of but four weeks' dele- tion. The results appear to .be gen- 'train, true M- all pens tested and are in accord with results obtained else - The increase in eel yield has been obtained by the " use of •electric lights, or prolonging the day. The facts of the matter appear to be that a, hen's crop is too small a reservoir to hold sufficient feed for the long night. A hen, to lay, 'must have a autplus o/ feed over and above that required for body maintenance. In these particular trials, the, re- sults of which are ginen below, the lights were turned on at dusk and Were turned pft at nine o'clock at night. -Tae birds get their first feed in the morning et seven o'clock aed The usual feed of ,grain given et about four to five otelock in the atter- noon is missed or only a handful or two of grain is given to twentytfive birds, simply to keep them 'moving a little.

In the year 1800, Volta, a famous pnyziciat, discovered that if a plate of copper 'and one pf zinc; were placed in weak sulphuric acts, and connected by a wire above the acid, there was . transmitted along the wire a certain emount'of energy, which 1.1111181nISS inn we -speak es ,a,s‘ a.trarrent of electricity. comparing, it. to a current of waten.
