Carriker. tf Mr. Harvey Kennedy has recently entered into the poultry business on a scale which promises to prove very interesting and also profitable to him. He has associated with him in the business Mr. F. P. Wilson, who has been in the business at Milner for about two years, and who has also been associated with the State College of Agriculture at Athens as a vocational student. Mr. Wilson has not only had varied experience in the poultry business but he has extensively having been in Australia and a number of other countries. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Wilson now have about 350 beautiful White Leg horn chickens, having had erected for them regular chicken houses and yards on the thirteen acre lot on Zebulon street, which Mr. Kennedy owns, the Kennedy home place. All the arrangements are according to the present scientific way of handling chickens and they believe in a short time they getting such results that the investment will be a paying one. They expect to keep records on their hens by means of trap nests so that they will know when a hen is or is not doing her duty in laying and when they locate a hen that is without the proper laying ability she will at once be discarded and fat tened for somebody’s table. They propose to try out the latest devices to produce results. They al ready have the flocks in different pens with separate running grounds, with the best feeding and watering facilities. Soon there will bp clocks installed which will automatically turn on the electric lights early in the morning, waking the hens up and putting them to work, making them industrious, in the effort to force them to lay because of their unusual exercise. Mr. Kennedy explains that this process of forced laying short ens the life of the hen but he thinks no hen should be kept as a layer for more than two years anyway and af ter that she should be culled and pre pared for the table. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Wilson have hardly gotten their business started well yet but they are already getting a dozen to fifteen eggs daily and ex pect soon to have this number large ly increased and they expect to hold all this product off the market until the price of eggs goes much higher than it is at present, which is around 40 cents per dozen. Messrs. Kennedy and Wilson have a few Rhode Island F.'eds and a few Guineas at present blit they expect to confine their stock almost ex clusively to White Leghorns, believ ing that this stock offers them most in the poultry line. They will also engage in hog rais ing and now have between fifty and seventy-five hogs, including all sizes. At present they have several breeds but they are going to weed out their stock and confine their efforts to the Poland China. They have some fine specimens in the number on hand, Mr. Kennedy taking some good prizes with his exhibits at the recent Lamar County Fair. The enterprise which Mr. Kenne dy and iftr. Wilson have started promises to be an important one for the community and they will have the best wishes of the citizens for great success. A BEAUHFIILSOLO The congregation of the First Bap tist church of Barnesville enjoyed a rare treat last Sunday morning when Mrs. Julian Hightower of Thomaston rang a lovely solo coming from Thomaston for that purpose.
