In every branch of farming there is
some method of improving the products,
and in making speciality Of some partic-
Mar thing which will bring fancy prices
in the markets. Fancy fruit, thorough
bred animals and improved varieties of
vegetables, are all the results Of study, ex-
periment and improvement. The capons
hold the same position in the poultry bust
ness. and the result is no less profitable
and satisfactory.
Raising capons is profitable business
and they are now raised quite universally
throughout the country, although for a
long time "Philadelphia capons' were
the only ones that were supposed TO
amount to much. This deiuslon, how
ever. no longer holds. for good capons
will be found in every large city.
The French poultrymen caponize all
cockerels designed for market, and the
quality of meat there is always superior TO
that in this country. With the progress OF
the business here il will not be many years
before the same practice viii prevail IN the
states.
III all cockerels were caponized the meat
would be better, and the demand for II
would be more general. Caponizing is very

Controller Matthews Proposes to Take the
Matter Into Court.

mhtttf lDio tpuils
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 23.-A letter was
sent TO tie commissioners of the District to-
day By First-C Coutroner Mathews. Of the Treas
ury Department suggesting that the quesii 4
that has arisen in regar'l TO the ownership OF
the direct tax fund 10 referred for decision 70
the Court of Claims. This has so far been
unanswered by the commissioners. but the
Controller expects their reply IN day or
two. His proposition Is for tie District TO en-
ter suit against the United tates for the re-
coverv of tie mOney-about 80 OUO-and the
issue will be on the question Of whether the
Treasury should paw direct 70 the Distr ct
or 10 the individual taxpayers. In case the
court decides against the District thr money
VIII be paid 50 the indlvidua cit er ID per-
son or 10 the District IN trust for them. tut
should the su 90 against the nited States
the money VIII De placed 10 the credit or the
District. .,
Thus the suit-which would be 2 friendly
one would in cit er ca-e result Ia defeat OF
the nted states a. ar as the retention oI
the mouey IA concerned. The court would
be merely an arbitrator.
Controller Matthews is firm IN his belief
that the money belongs to the District and
he thinks that the court would 50 hold. The
United tates. if his plan were ad ted would
occupy the ATTITUDE OF al interpleader.
In case the Government won the suit the
court would deliver a Judgment that would IN
Itsell be direction 10 thu controller 10 pay
the money 10 the md yiduals. and II would
rrohehly 0ccon any such Judgment WITH
the REQUISITE directions.
