$4,000 FOR POULTRY

Friday, Dec. 8, set new record in
Iowa for the amount of poultry
marketed in one day when Waukon
dealers were swamped by tons of
fowls brought in by farmers.
Over $4,000 pounds of poultry was
brought in on this day and dealers
filled every available storage space
70 take care of the immense tonnage
brought to them. The market was ex-
ceptionally good and the condition
of the roads was such as to offer the
first opportunity in weeks of mar
keting.
Three dealers were buying turkeys
which predominated in the days re
ceipts. Qullin buying for Decorah
firm received over 10000 pounds of
turkeys besides several hundred
pounds of other poultry.
Clark's poultry house came next
with 5000 pounds of turkeys and
over ton of chickens.
JKenna, besirs for Chicago firm,
received 5007 pounds Of turkc.ts and
almost ton of chickens.
Reynolds, buying for Swift, took
no turkeys, but confines his business
to chickens and received several hun
bred pounds.
Many farmers state they only mar
keted small per cent of their birds,
yet checks of from $500 to 5000 were
numerous on the books of the buyers.
+ One farmer told US his turkeys
averaged $3.50 per head and also
showed US a check for something
over $500 to back up his claim.
At the price of poultry this fall the
farmer is realizing more real pro-
fit from this source than he is from
his hogs or cattle.-Waukon Re-

SEVEN THOUSAND CHICKENS
BURNED
A $4,000 Fire in Burlington.-Hogs
Burn at Shenandoah.

Burlington, Iowa-Over 1000 live
chickens and half carload of dress
ed poultry were consumed when the
III. A. Selby Poultry company house
here was destroyed by fire Sunday
morning. The building is a complete
wreck. The loss is estimated at
$4,000.
Shenandoah, Iowa-Fire at the
Economy Stock farm, four miles west
of Shenandoah, resulted in the loss
of $50 head of hogs, hog house,
1900 bushels of corn and corn
crib.
The origin of the blaze is iun-
known. The only clue that can be
gathered of the possible cause is
that the proprietor and his assistants
were smudging the hogs, or giving
them smoke dip Friday. They sup
posed, however, that the fire they
had made was completely smothered
early Friday evening.
The hogs were thoroughbred Jer
sey stock and were spring shoats
1t is said that no insurance was car
RED to cover the loss which was es
I timated to reach $4,000.
The Economy farm is owned b.
J. j. Doty and is managed by M. A
