 Michael Kosenko of South Wash ington street, is developing tract of land of 22 acres adjoining his nres- ent farm on South Washington street This will probably be the largest farr, in the vicinity. The owner plans to plant grain on the place after the work of removing the trees is fin 1shed. The land borders the railroad tracks adjoining the Plainyilla Cast ing company and the farm of Thomas Cafferty, also of Washington street. MT. Kosenko is working on the large project now with a force of men and the trees and stumps are being re- moved by tractors All brush and small trees are being cleared away and when the work is completed. a level space of 22 acres will be seen instead of the old lots filled with bushes. A roadway will also be made on this piece of land which will lead from Washington street. through the farm and extending to the railroad tracks. This will enable the owner to go over his territory in a car The farm of MT. Kosenko is prob- ably the largest in these parts and always has many visitors on it. He has more than $500 chickens having had stock n ;oI, r, sold at various times. Some of his prize hens have cost him as much as S1O a piece. The hens average more than 40 dozen eggs a day. It takes about one-quarter ton of grain a day to feed this large stock of chickens | md the need of having large trace ] to raise grain was seen by the farmer. l Thus the development of the rest of l he farm will be a good investment. l The farm is a modern one, being 'quipped with electric lights and the | len-houses are also modern in every l respect. He has special houses for l lis breeding and laying hens and the | prize ones are also kept separate. An l req of some three acres is now be- l ng used for the hen-houses alone. l His system of keeping the hens separated and giving each stock a l place to feed in was devised by him. l self and he plans further improve
 nents should his project of devel l )ping the large tract of land be sue l ,essful. MT. Kosenko has been a resi- 1 lent of Plainville for the past six
 ears and is an expert in poultry | 'aising. He does not deal in prize l lens exclusively.
 l He employees five men on his farm
 
 raising. The farm is open to visi- I 'ors and after the roadway is built | leading through the additional 22
 ecres, Mr. Kosenko will allow visi-
 ,ors to drive through. The land will
 De divided into lots sometime in
 he near future and be sold for small l arms, says the owner.
