Poultry Growing North and West
II. T.. 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 i'm 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
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 rlaces prior to
the beginning Of the cold rigid weather
| of the North, only leaving for the care
Of the farmers during the winter
months q 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,,s 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 i'm the producing of both eggs
and market poultry of kinds.
The last census figures for Iowa are
Il surprise to many of those best in
formed OH poultry matters. More
ducks were reported as being grown
and shipped to market out of that
State alone than had been credited to

the whole Vest. People imagined thai
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 its 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-
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 Asiatics-the
Brahams and the Langshans-produce
the eggs having the darkest and
heaviest shells. The Plymouth Rocks
and Wyandottes having a considerable
per cent. of Asiatic blood i'm their
veins, produce q 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 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
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
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 adj
dition, they are such thoroughly good
egg-producers during the entire year

moisture and sustenance which the
roots collect, instead producing ten
or twelve pounds of useless growth
will go largely into the formation of
fruit. Clusters of tomatoes will hang
thickly against the stake; they will
secure the full benefit Of the suns

ting; the ripe fruit can be seen at q
glance; the tomatoes will be larger,
and there will be few. if any. very
small ones; the yield per vine will be
as heavy or heavier, while If the plant
ing is made with this in view, the
vines can be set considerably closer,
as the moisture requirement will be far

Rows of tomatoes, grown in this
manner, present one of the most at
tractive sights imaginable. Rather
than a tomato patch they look like a
young orchard, laden with plethora

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 tnis method Of
culture is that for couple of weeks

better to keep the vines pruned down
closer.
The result will be that the vine will
grow up to the top of the stake, stocky
and strong. The single leaves will de-

Of the methods in that vicinity, by
which tomatoes were not only adj
vanced in ripening from five to seven
days, but increased i'm yield. Much
more labor was required, but the re-
suits were more thar commensurate.
The plan consisted simply in stalking
and pruning each plant.

SINGLE STEM PLANTS.

There will he 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 iniure 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 horse
can step on one without much damag-

BY the time the plant forms its first
blossoms, have a slim stake six feet in

mato firmly. Take an ordinary piece
Of grOcers' soft cotton Irvine and tie
the stem close to the stake. We eX-

but found that the ordinary, five-cent

there was no danger Of iniuring 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 q 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
iniure the main stem, but event
ually came back to the Crystal Springs
method, where everything is done by
the fingers.
