Black Langshang Hens on His
Place at HagerstoWn are
Record Breakers.
GOOD POULTRY TERRITORY
DEALERS IN THE FEATHEREO
FOWLS IN NORTH WESTERN
PART OF COUNTY HAVE A PRO-.
FITABLE BUSINESS

Hagerstown, Ind, Feb.,' 20, (Spl)-
Some unusual records for heavy
weights in chickens were made here
lately. 1t seems that William Keev-
er, with Black Langshang hens, takes
the lead. He sold some to Ed Porter
that averaged eleven pounds each,
bringing a net price of $1.10. No
special care had been given these
hens. They were fed with the rest of
the chickens about the barnyard. A
few capons have averaged twelve
and a half pounds and brought $50
each to the farmer. There is great
demand from cities for capons, and
farmers will go into the business on a
larger scale this spring.
Hagerstown has two firms actively
engaged in buying poultry, Ed Por-
ter and Niccum & McSherley, both
grocers. The last week has been UNI
usually active. Porter paid out S7S5
for poultry, which he sold to Dan Har-
ris, of Greensboro, who ships about a
car load week to New York. Mic
cum & McSherley pay out 500 to
500 a week the year round. There
are also buyers from New Castle,
Cambridge City, Greensboro and 9TH
er points out all the time in this part
of the country
A man accompanies each car of
poultry on its trip East. The poultry
is fed and watered regularly. Sever
al barrels of water are taken into
the car before starting and twenty
five bushels of feed. The chickens
are fed as regularly en- route as if they
were at home in the old familiar barn
yard.
The hens continue to lay and the
roosters to crow all the way to New
York. The man who goes with the
load gets the eggs in the coops and
frequently makes more than his pay
amounts to when he sells the eggs.
The usual price for the trip is $25
and free transportation. 1t takes a
week to make the trip.
One farmers wife this week Sold a
hundred hens, for which she received
almost $40. Another sold eighty, get
ting rs cents each for the fowls.
