LONG’S CHICKEN
RANCH THRIVING
AT KENAI LAKE
YEAR OLD FARM SHOWS SPLEN
DID RESULTS IN PROFITS
GENERAL LOOKS.
MANY FINE LEGHORNS
Has Motor Boat for Charter During
Summer Season for Visitors
or Hunting Parties.
On beautiful Kenai lake, at Lake
view, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Long
have after five years’ toil, made such
splendid progress with their chicken
ranch that the products from the
ranch are almost at a premium at
this early date. Standing orders
await them in the sale of chickens
and fresh eggs, all being sold right
at their door. Large, roomy and
clean modern chicken houses have
•been erected and the soil tilled on
two plot of ground, on which is rais
ed sufficient quantities of vegetables
for their wants. A small wharf ex
tends out into the bay, a short dis
tance from the door stoop, with a
motor boat and row boat generally
found alongside. All this is there,
and most of it accomplished in a
year’s time, but not without much
hard work and consistent effort on
the part of Mr. and Mrs. Long. The
result is that today, nowhere on the
magnificent body of inland w’ater,
can be found a more natural setting
for a fine home and farm. A little
baby came to grace the home a few
weeks ago, making it truly, a wronder
ful home.
Lots of Chickens.
White leghorns galore, in all sizes
of development, will be found peck
ing away in the yard or roosting in
the houses. There are 400 chickens
on the farm, 100 of which are lay
ing hens. In the brooders 200 chicks
are hopping about. In another sec
tion of the chicken house are 5c
three-month-old pullets.
It is not every chicken that lives
inside of a plastered house, Mr. Lonj
remarked, for that iw what he has
finished the interior Spf ?tbe chicker
house with. The pure, white walls
the orderly array of troughs anc
roosts, the clean floors, the large
windows and excellent ventilation
present an excellent appearance, ant
the exterior and yards are just as
nice looking as the interior of th<
house which is 20x50 feet in size.
Fine Well-Water.
A well, 36 feet in depth, has beer
dug on the farm frbm which flows
pure cold water. This will be dis
tributed about the farm under fore
ed pressure. A cellar has been du*
under the chicken house in which i
large heater will be placed durinj
the winter months. A concrete stacl
of which there are too few in Sew
ard, penetrates the building from th<
basement to the roof top. Anothe:
new and large chicken house is nov
in process of erection and will b<
probably completed by winter. Fron
the water the building resembles i
dwelling.
Good Soil On Farm.
Splendid soil for growing vegeta
bles is found on the farm, where tw<
plots are now under cultivation
Vegetables of a varied variety ar
being raised in the plot nearest t
the farm, some distance away, ar
other plot has been cleared and pu
| into berries. Hay is cut from th
’ nearby meadow. The clearing o
land will be carried on this summe
and planted to seed this fall. Thi:
teen acres comprise the area of M]
and Mrs. Long’s farm, reaching froi
the lake shore back to the Alask
Railroad track, having at their doo
one might say, transportation b
rail or boat. It is convenient to sa
the least, Mr. Long affirmed.

has gone into the ranch has been
purchased from Cal M. Brosius, Sew
ard lumber and building material
dealer, and for whom, Mr. Long for
merly was employed by. Lakeview,
by which this point of land on the
lake is distinguished by, is also the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Andy Simons.
Together with Mr. and Mrs. Long,
these two families occupy the entire
point. Mr. Simons is the well known
guide of this district.
Boat Is for Hire.
During the present summer season,
Mr. Long, who has a comfortable and
enclosed motor boat, states he and
his boat are for hire at any time
and will make such runs about the1
lake as may be required by either
visitors or hunters. A telephone call
to Mile 20, near his home, will al
way reach him, should anyone de
sire to charter his craft.
Miss Elizabeth Romig
Extending Local Visit
Miss Elizabeth Romig, who, with
her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Ro
mig, has been residing in Fairbanks
for over a year, and who was severe
ly injured a few weeks ago in an
airplane crash, will probably remain
over in Seward for another week,
visiting her sister, Mrs. J. P. Hannan.
Miss Romig’s arm, which was -brok
en in several places and badly bruis
ed, is still in a plaster cast, but
present indications are that it is
healing as well as could be expected.
