/ "A very gratifying observa ion rel
atiye To fioe poultry breeding in Ber-
ton and perhaps the came may be
said OF the entire state lis the fac.that
breeders are not only securing the best
obtainable stock, but they are also Of
/ late preparing to care for the birds 10
al lot, lllgent way. s. q. Moore, for
/ example, has constructed chicken
house about 40 feet in length and ar
ranged for thorough ventilation.
1 cleanliness aud many other Eecessilies
and conveBiences. Running out from
the building long pens have been cons
structed OF high wire fencing, by which
| means the different stocks Of poultry
are kept separate. Persons eontem-
plating poultry business should exam
/ inc Mr.. Moore's plan. F.. L. Miller has
also prepared to give bis chickens
! comfortable housing. He has con-
| srructed chicken house SO feet long,
and on very much the same plan as
| that adopted by Mr.. Moore. From
1 Mr.. Miller's improvements and prepa-
i tations 1t woul1 seem that his ambi-
4 tion Is to make regular poultry par,
/ adise. Dr.. Lester Is also carrying out
/ some original ideas as to the care of
/ chickens. Gene Simpson Is another
fancier. He has been in the business
for some time and has acquired such
a practical knowledge of poultry
| breeding that 1t is source of much
financial profit. Hundreds of others
! 10 the county are acquiring choice
strains Of poulcry and studying the
requirements of the business, and it
leeems probable that now Benton can
boast OF a greater variety of thorough
bred chickens than any other county
in the state.
