This is from necessity rather than» from | choice, for, given an opportunity to eat, ex se, and enjoy herself for-12 | hours a day, she lays nearly, if “not quite so well, as during the summer inonths, Acting on this theory many poultry keepers have found it. profitable to light their poultry houses for several | hours each day.
