Kingman, Dec. 6.-Poultry near
Kingman is a flourishing industry. J.
L. Hall of Belmont sold fifty-six tur-
keys which brought him the sum OF
$91. The average weight Of the tur-
keys was twelve pounds. Mr.. Hall ex-
poets to raise chickens next year as
the coyotes are SO numerous In their
neighborhood that he has had to herd
the turkeys the past summer and fall
to protect them. A Arm sent out FRI
day q carload of turkeys that repre-
scented an investment of $500. The
dry pickers. paid cents each for tur-
keys and I cents each for chickens,
often earn IS and Sc a day.
When it il taken into consideration
that this is but q single one of many
shipments. the balance of course be-
ing in lesser amounts, and the further
fact that this only refers to one of the
three firms engaged in the same bust
ness at Kingman, 1t Is easy to under
stand that the poultry business OF
Kingman county IL one Of the very
important items which go to make up
the vast volume Of business that the
farmers Of Kingman county have q
hand In.
Tho bulk Of the shipments referred
to was turkeys, that tho farmers re-
ceived IA cents pound for. and hens
for which they are paid and cents
