Electric wiringElectric outlets and switches are shown on the drawings. Vapor-

proof fixtures and conduit are required where the walls and ceilingsare to be hosed down. Nonmetallic sheathed cable may be used ifcare is taken when the house is cleaned and washed. For completeinformation on regulations for poultry house electrical wiring, conferwith a licensed electrician or the State Electrical Inspector, Bureauof Labor, Salem.

A master control switch to control all the lights in the houseshould be provided in the feed room area on the first floor. Ordi-narily, lights are used on laying hens for either a few hours in themorning or a few hours in the evening. Such lighting may be ac-complished by use of an automatic time switch in conjunction withthe master switch.

Evening lights should be dimmed in some way in order to warnthe hens to go to roost before the lights are turned off completely.In. general, dimming is accomplished by placing special resistance inthe lighting circuit. Many dimming devices are on the market.

Space the lights as indicated in the drawing and use the wattsize specified with reflectors. Reflectors should be adjusted to pro-vide direct light on the hens.

Control of wet litterLitter moisture in well constructed houses comes mainly from

the droppings and from condensation of water vapor. When drink-ing fountains are placed over the dropping pits near the back ofthe nests as shown in the plan, one major source of moisture iseliminated. Whenever the temperature of a poultry house floorfalls below the air temperature in the house and the air is damp(high relative humidity) water condenses on the litter. Manymethods of control through floor heating have been used but eachhas its limitations. Fire and rodent control are both difficult prob-lems especially in frame houses. Special equipment and properdesign are required for each type. Hot air circulated betweendouble floors or under a house between the ground and the floor orin tile or ducts under the floor have been used. Hot water circulatedthrough pipes or copper tubing in concrete or with wooden floors issatisfactory but more costly to install and difficult to obtain. Heatingby means of special electric cable placed in the floor is now in theexperimental stage.
