two children. One wife lives fifty
miles away, and when he goes to

A MILLION CHICKEN PLANT.
CoffeyviIIe Hears of Plan to Raise
Chickens in Large Numbers.

CoffeyviIle, Kan, April 1.-Think Of
an egg Matching plant with a capacity
of million chicks. Such an industry
is now seeking location in CoffeyVille
and Commercial Secretary Elliott Irwin
has taken the matter up with the man
who wants the location.
Some of the requirements of loca-
ton of this kind, according to the man
who contemplates putting the plant in,
are gas, good roads leading to the town.
and a good farming country around the
city. The city must be from 5000 to
%, 600 in population. Coffeyville answers
all of the requirements and it now looks
as though the industry might be land
ed.
The business of a plant of this kind
is to hatch chicks for sale and for 9TH
ers. On account of the certainty of
how many chickens one will get, this
method is in favor with chicken men
rather than the old way of buying a
setting Of good eggs to hatch.
