not, then the liver, which is the human
filter within US, gets clogged up and
poisons accumulate in the body from

Poultry Growing North and Vest.


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.
1t is not usually known that Mis-
souri, Iowa and Kansas are the Creat-
est producers of poultry of all kinds,
including waterfowl, and that Michi-
gan and Wisconsin are becoming the
greatest of all goosc-producing sections
of the country.
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 laces prior to
the beginning of the cold rigid weather
of the North, only leaving for the care
/ of the farmers during the winter
months a 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 eg, 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 last census figures for Iowa are
La surprise to many of those best in
formed on poultry matters. More
ducks were reported as being grown
and shipped to market out of that
State alone than had been credited tc
