Statehood Bill In the Senate.

The United States senate will de-
vote most, if not all, the week to the
consideration of the statehood bill,
with view to reaching vote Fri
day.
Practically all the interest in the
bill centers in the Foraker amendment
and every possible effort on both
sides is being made for and against
that provision. Even the friends Of
the union of Arizona and New Mexico
admit that the vote will be close, but
the opponents Of this policy appear
more confident of success.
Senator Lodge is still disposed to
ask the senate to take the Philippine
tariff bill from the custody of the conf
mittee on the Philippines, but he will
not move in the matter until after the
statehood vote.

Poultry Growing North and Vest.
T. f. McGREW.

The chief center of poultry growing
upon the farms and by small establish
ments devoted exclusively to the pro-
ducing of eggs and poultry for market,
is located in that portion Of the coun-
try now called the North and West, in
which we must include Missouri, Kan.
sas and the great Northwest.
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 goose-producing sections
Of the country.
Upon the vast wheat fields of the
Northwest are grown thousands upon
thousands Of young fowls that are
hatched 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 rlaces prior to
the beginning of the cold rigid weather

| of the farmers during the winter

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 reproducing centers of the West.
1t is claimed that more egss 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
years ranked among the foremost
states in the producing of both eggs
and market poultry of kinds.

the great duck farms of Long Island,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania had
produced the duck supply of the coun.
| try. The future census will be closely
scanned at it's finish for a more care
full study of these conditions. So far
as can be learned at 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-
ier 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 Asiatics-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 a long distance to
market. This is the real reason why
SO many 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 it
is a 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

The general purpose fowls, the
Plymouth Rock and the Wyandotte,

They are strong and sturdy, with
great ability to undergo more or less
and yet thrive. There is
no question but that there are more
Barred Plymouth Rocks grown
throughout the Western country than
all other kinds of standardized poul-
try combined. In France, the Houdan
is the great market fowl; in England,
the Dorking; but throughout the
Great West the Plymouth Rocks seem
to be accepted as the standard of
quality for market poultry. In ad-

tied up in the usual method, is "laid
by," the gardener with a wheel hoe
can pass through the rows of staked
tomatoes, and with his hoe set very
shallow, can keep down any weeds
which may rob the plants of their full
share of moisture.
Rows of tomatoes, grown in this
manner, present one of the most at
tractive sights imaginable. Rather
than a tomato patch they look like
young orchard, laden with a plethora
of ripening or green fruit.

SINGLE STEM PLANTS.

There will be strong temptation,
should the vines get three. four or
five days start, and one of the suckers
or branches becomes almost as big as
the main stem, to let it grow, in the
belief that it will injure the vine to
remove it, but such mistakes should be
ruthlessly remedied. Once well started
the tomato is one of the toughest and
sturdiest growing vegetables-a horse
can step on one without much damag-
ing it-and there need be no fear
about tearing out even the large suck
ers which have developed four or FIVE
Amador ledger., 1906-06-08

leaves, and even incipient blossom
clusters. However, it is of course
better to keep the vines pruned down
closer.
ADVANTAGES OF THE METHOD.
The result will be that the vine will
grow up to the top of the stake, stocky
and strong. The single leaves will de-
velop hugely, and great amount of

where a great amount of leaf is pro-
duced.
If the ground is rich and the plant
grows luxuriantly, its entire strength
can be thrown into the fruit by pinch
ing out the top bud after the vine has
reached the height of the stake.
Another advantage of this method Of
culture is that for a couple of weeks
after the ordinary tomato crop, even If

pruning and cultivating that q of an
acre In Florida kept me hustling as
had never hustled before-but as a
garden proposition where you are rails
ing from fifty to one hundred plants it
mas proven itself an ideal method of
culture. The directions are these,
simple in the extreme, but requiring
rather close attention. as once well
started the tomato is a rapid grower.
By the time the plant forms its first
blossoms, have a slim stake six feet in
length-in Florida we used pine sticks
about one inch square-with a crow
bar, or a heavy mallet stake your to-
mato firmly. Take an ordinary piece
of grocers' soft cotton twine and tie
the stem close to the stake. We ex-
perimented with tape and heavy cord,
but found that the ordinary, five-cent
a ball, white twine sufficed, 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
vine to single stem, and as need be
tie it up close to the stake. During the
season Of growth three or four ties will
suffice. We tried using a sharp knife
to cut off the suckers in the belief that
yanking them off by the fingers would
injure the main stem, but event
ually came back to the Crystal Springs
method, where everything is done by
