TEACHING OF MECHANICS.

Supt. Phillips Has Introduced This
 Teaching in the Colored Schools. T
 Supt. Phillips has introduced the teach ing of mechanics in the colored public schools. He has teachers who teach the pupils woodworking, blacksmithing, shoe making, etc. Some negroes have natur- al mechanical turn. The old plantation darkey was an expert in making shuck collars, chairs, baskets, etc. The display of mechanical work at the Atlanta expo sition of articles made by negroes. was surprising. It is probable that in the future the work in southern cotton mills will be done by negroes. The only trouble in the way is that the drowsy hum of the machinery and the warmth of the mill puts the negro to sleep.

Some care should be exercised in per
forming the operation lest the large

there is no loss, for he only provides NJ
with good broiler! Then, too, another
thing to expect is from IS to Is per cent.
slips these are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and AZ they mature the comb grows,
and to all appearances they are ROSTERS.
Possibly the most important factor Of
all in successful operation il having
the cockerel at the proper age. am
better acquainted with the Plymouth
Rocks than any other breed, and with
them about 3H months seems to be the
proper age. Those breeds which mature
much earlier, like the Leghorns, should
be operated upon much younger, while
q Brahma could possibly be caponized
when five or six months old, and not
have much danger attending the work.
As soon AZ caponized the chicken
should be given all the ground feed and
drink 1t wishes, for it is hungry, since,
in order to facilitate matters, the cock
erel should be tasted about 30 hours
previous to the operation; in three
days time the wound should be healed
over, and in two or three weeks it would
be quite difficult to find even a scar.
Now we have . bird that will put on
flesh at surprising rate; the meat is
of delicious flavor and very tender
and juicy, and with the same amount
of feed, q capon will weigh about third
more at q given age than If left a.
rooster. It is well worth the trouble to
have the noisy young cockerels trans
formed into a quiet, lazy bird, even if
we were recompensed in no other way,
but the price to be obtained for capons
is what pleases the grower Of them
most Of all. as the regular quotations
range from six to ten cents above the
ordinary chicken. well remember the
first year engaged in this department
Of my poultry work. when I sold 20
capons averaging eight pounds at Is
tents per pound. one of which dressed
~ pounds, and . well-known lawyer
paid me $2.37 for the same. So we see
the advantages IRE threefold-a better
price, larger bird and quiet bird.
