MANY SURPRISED
ABOUT SHIPMENTS
OF Chickens and Wonder Where The,
Come From--Thousands Shipped
6y Freight.

Martinsburgers during the past year
have noticed many carloads OF 1--we
chickens being shipped through here
by fast freight over the d. Il O., and
wonder where they all come from, as
formerly all shipments of live chick
ense were generally made by express,
especially from this section, and the
dressed poultry came In refrigerator
cars from the west.
Recently when five carloads Of live
poultry passed through here on No. "a,
the express freight, In specially con
structed cars, with an attendant in
each car, some inquiry vas made Of
one Of the attendants while the train
was lying in the yards for a change
Of engines.
The attendant, over the stock IN one
of the ars stated that most Of the
shipments Of live poultry in carload
lots come from the middle west, Ilii
nois, Iowa and Kansas being the prin-
cipal points, but many come from as
far west as Nebraska and Colorado
and from Texas in the south. Each
car contains from $500 to 5000 live
fowls. A supply OF feed, stacked TO
the roof. and plenty of water is pro-
vided at the initial shipping point,
enough for the needs OF the fowls I'M
Ill they reach destination. He also
vouchsafed the information that In a
trip from the far west to New York,
cases have been known where the in
crease In the weight OF a carload OF
stock has been as great as 1000
pounds 70 a car over the original ship
ping bill. This Is due TO the regular
feeding and watering by the attend
ants. and these latter, In addition TO
their regular pay for such a trip, are
given a percentage of the proceeds Of
this increase. which is an incentive
for them to give the fowls the best OF
attention.
