Paper of Some Fine Chickens He Saw In Massachusetts the Other Day. Some Very Fancy Prices Named. I visited one of the largest and most expensive chicken farms in the United States last week, that of Mr. Owen at Vlnyard Haven, Mass. He has two hundred acres, and twenty-five men. All the land and time is devoted alone to chickens. He has some twenty thousand chick ens Orpingtons, Buff, White and Black, Rhode Island Reds, Plymonth Rocks, and White Wyandotts. He sells perfect and fancy fowls only for show and breeding purposes. He has fine houses, runs and pastures for each variety, entirely separate. He has as many as six hundred roosters of each variety for sale, be tides those he keeps for breeding purposes. His eggs he sells for from one dollar each to 75 cents. His roosters run in price from $25 to as high as six hundred dollars. His hens $5 to $100 each. He gets buyers for them at that price, too. He told me he had an order the day before I was there for four thousand dollars worth of fowls from one man. Often orders for one thousand eggs from one person at one dollar each. He told me also that he turned down orders last spring for six thousand dollars worth of eggs that he could not fill. He must have one hundred thousand dollars invested in chick ens, besides houses, runs, lands, etc. He took the premium in New York City two years ago with four hens and one rooster (Chantacleer) and sold them to Padereuski's the sing ers wife for seven thousand and five hundred dollars ($7,500.00) He goes to England often and buys the best chickens ha can find and pays from one to six hundred dollars each for them. This is like the large quantity "f corn raised on one acre of land in Johnston county. But it Is true. POLIE GARDNER, Nantucket, Mass., Sept. 10, 1310. Godwin Wins in the Primary.
