but found that the ordinary, five-cent
ball, white twine sutiiced, and that
there was no danger of injuring the
stem of the plant. Then go through
the rows and pull Off every sucker
leaving of course the blossom stems.
In other words simply train the tomato

season of growth three or four ties will
suffice. We tried using sharp knife
to cut off the suckers in the belief that

full study of these conditions. So far
as can be learned ut present. the in
crease in poultry culture through these
states has almost doubled in the last
six years.
The West is more largely interested
in the Plymouth Rock and Wyandotte
breeds than In any other. The East.
ern States seem to be more given to
the cultivation OF Leghorns than are
any of the Western localities. The
eggs having the brown shells seem
best suited to the West. The brown
shelled eggs stand shipment better.
from the fact that the shells are heav-
Ter and stronger than those laid by
the Mediterranean breeds.
The Brahma and Langshan fowls
were formerly most popular in these
sections. The Plymouth Rocks and the
Wyandottes being smooth, that Is
unfeathered, on the shanks, move
about and forage for their own sus-
tenance much better than the feathered
varieties. The original Aslatics-the
Brahams and the Langshans-produce
the eggs having the darkest and
heaviest shells. The Plymouth Rocks
and Wyandottes having considerable
per cent. of Asiatic blood in their
veins, produce a strong shelled egg,
stronger than the white shells. assur-
ing safer carriage n long distance to
market. This is the real reason why
so nany of the eggs that are shipped
in from Western parts have the
former kind of shells. There Is no
difference whatever in the quality of
the eggs themselves, no matter what
may be the color of the exterior, yet 1t
Is q well-known fact that the white
ones have the preference in New York
City. To produce these, they must be
grown nearer to the Metropolis to les
sen the danger of cracking from long
shipments.
The general purpose fowls, the
Plymouth Rock and the Wyandotte,
have become a blessing to the poultry
growers of the West and Northwest.
They are strong and sturdy, with
great ability to undergo more or less
hardships and yet thrive. There Is
no question but that there are more

Poultry Growing North and Vest.

which we must include Missouri, Kan.

It Is not usually known that Mis-.
souri,, Iowa and Kansas are the great.
est producers Of poultry Of all kinds,
including waterfowl, and that Michi.
gan and Wisconsin are becoming the
greatest Of all ose-producing sections
of the country. p
Upon the vast wheat fields Of the
Northwest are grown thousands upon
thousands of young fowls that are
Matched and cared for with reference
to having them Of the proper size for
ranging over the wheat fields as soon
as the harvest Is In, and are later
gathered up by the pur hasers of the
great poultry killing establishments Of
Kansas City and other centers. These
young fowls are taken away and
shipped to the killing Ilaces prior to
the beginning of the cold rigid weather
Of the North, only leaving for the care
OF the farmers during the winter
months sufficient number to produce
eggs for the next summers crop.
Wisconsin and Michigan produce
large numbers of geese, grown for
their feathers, and then shipped away
to the Eastern States, where they are
fattened and sold to the City markets
Missouri and Kansas have become
great egg-producing centers of the West
1t is claimed that more egLs and
more dressed poultry are shipped from
some of the gathering stations of Mis-
souri, than from any otter locality In
this country. Iowa has for many
lyears ranked among the foremost
states In the producing Of both eggi
