Why and How Thread Is Numbered
The question; why is spool cotton
numbered as it is. and why are the
figures not used in regular Order?' is
often asked. The explanation is this;
The numbers on the spOOls express the
number of hanks" which are required
to weigh a pound. The very finest
spinning rarely exceeds 500 hanks to
the pound. while in the very cOarsesr
there ia about a half-pound in each
hank. The more common qualities,
however, those from which sewing
thread is usually made, run from ten
to fifty hanks to the pound, and the
sDools on which it is wound are num-
bered from ten to fifty in accordance

Cruel Military Punishment Once Inflicted
In the English Army.
The military punishments Of that day

and right leg being drawn up as high
as they could be to a hook fixed is an

the body rested on the sharpened stake,
which. though it did not break the skin,
inflicted exquisite torture; the only
means of alienation was to rest the
weight on the wrist. the pain of which
soon became uncomfortable. Soldiers

There is special merit in the recon-
mendation OF the utilization of tramps
for roaG-building. This would benefit
the country in two ways. 1t would I'M
prove the roads and diminish the num-
Der of tramps. The latter now live on
the country for nothing. They are our
leisure class and they are supported in
idIeness by direct taxation. That tax
alton is levied upon the country farm
ers who feed the tramps and the city
people who are held up on the streets
for the price OF "a nights lodging or OF
a cup of co1ee. AS a class tramps are
simply lazy frauds. many of them dan
gerous ones. Imprisonment without
labor is no punishment for them and
Tor this reason most Of the tramp laws
are without terror for the tramp. Let
them be arrested wherever they appear
and put to roadmaking Under this
rule we would soon have either good
roads or no tramps and either con
summation would be an unmfxed bless
ing to the state.-PhiIadelDhi Press.

ABOUT CAPONIZlNG.
The Operation Completely Changes thA
Nature of the COckerel.

The Operation Completely Changes tha
Nature of the COckerel.
After caponizing a cockerel its ma
ture becomes entirely changed. They
take on a more rapid growth, are more
tame, awkward in carriage and always
exceedingly lazy; take on very heavy
and beautiful plumage, the comb and
wattles cease to grow. the spurs do not
develop as in cockerels. The erstwhile
fighting cockerel becomes as docile as
chick. Instead of chasing about the
yard he keeps his own company and
spends each day in quiet living. With
out the drawback of physical exertion
the flesh rapidly increases, the bones
add weight to weight, and where under
the old way farmer would kill an or
dinary-looking coclxerel of but little
weight he now dresses for market a
bird rivaling the turkey in size and
weight, whose flesh in flavor is superior
to that of the spring broiler and as
tender and juicy. Caponizing solves the
problem of disposing of large number
of coclerels whose dimin dtive sizes are
small inducements to the dealer. Ca
ponize the chicks and you have at once
laid the foundation for a handsome
profit in a short time to come.
The bird to be operated on should be
from two to three months old (not over
six months) and weigh not less than q

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

It is predicted that in the near fr-
ture there will be nearly as much NUT
ton as beef consumed in this country.
Then the sheep business will be on a
more substantial basis.
There is room for sheep on every farm,
and they may be pastured with the cat
tie to very good advantage. If not pas
tured too closely, the pasture will be
the better by the sheep being there.
There are a good many sheep that
would eat more than they do if they
had chance. Dry air is a fine thing,
but they cannot subsist on it alone for
any length of time. In connection with
suitable rations, it performs an i'm
portant part in the management of
sheep, however.
The Southdown eve is on a par with
the Berkshire SOW and the Shorthorn
COW, which are never condemned,
though often not preferred, especially
by breeders and dealers that are obliged
to cater to large trade of varied tastes,
especially to the present cravings in
America for bigness in everything.
Talk of abandoning sheep should not
be listened to. This country can no
more discard the sheep from its agricul-
ture than it can omit the COW or the
pig, and those pessimists who are pre-
pairing requiems to the passing of our
fiocks may as well ''hang their harps on
the willows" and devote their energies
to some more exalting theme. Sheep
are here, and here to stay.-Rural
