L. L. DORLAND
L. L. DORLAND is the
proprietor of the California Poultry Farm, which is located in French Camp,
township of Castoria. This farm, one of the most
successful of its kind on the coast, was established in 1880. Here are to be
found the choicest strain of through-bred poultry, much of the stock being
imported from the most noted breeders in the East. A large poultry trade has
been built up, and is constantly increasing, not only with the people on this
coast, but also with Japan. In the fall of 1890 over $1,800 worth of poultry
was sent to Japan from this farm. Eggs for hatching are shipped to all parts of
the coast, and even as far as Honolulu, and a fair hatch reported. Most of the
chickens on this place are hatched by means of incubators, and two glass houses
are arranged to accommodate a hatch of 1,000 chicks a month.
