legs being secured under the padded
lever (a) at the operators right, and the
wings by the loop of strong cloth (b)
attached to the lever (c) at the left and
coming up through the hole In the left
center of the table, passing around the
wings. The weights on the two levers
should be in proportion to the size and
strength of the bird; then after pluck
ing a few feathers from the side of
the cockerel just in front of the thigh,
cut n slit between the last two ribs,
we'll up towards the back, and after
adjusting the "spreader," the operator
can see what remains to be done very
plainly. Some cut only one side, but l
prefer to work from both sides, as 1t
is much more convenient and usually
takes no longer.
Some care should be exercised in per-
forming the operation lest the large
artery following along the backbone
is ruptured, since that would cause the
immediate death of the chicken; still
there is no loss, for he only provides us
with good broiler! Then, too, another
thing to expect is from Is to rs per cent.
"slips"-these are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and ms they mature the comb grows,
and to all appearances they are ROSTERS.
Possibly the most important factor OF
all in n successful operation is 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
Brahma could possibly. be caponized
when five or six months old, and not
have much danger attending the work.
As soon as caponized the chicken
should be given all the ground feed and
drink it wishes, for it is hungry, since,
In order to facilitate matters, the cock
erel should be tasted about 80 hours
previous to the operations; in three
days time the wound should be healed
over, and in two or three weeks II would
be quite difficult to find even n scar.
Now we have bird that will put on
flesh at n surprising rate; the meat is
of delicious flavor and very tender
and juicy, and with the same amount
of feed, a capon will weigh about third
more at given age than IL left as a
rooster. 1t is well worth the trouble TO
have the noisy young cockerels trans
formed into quiet, lazy bird, even il
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 sold 20
capons averaging eight pounds at 25
cents per pound, one Of which dressed
oM pounds, and well-known lawyer
paid me $2.37 for the same. So we see
the advantages are threefold-a better
price, larger bird and quiet bird.

Dainty Dresses for the Heated Sec

Dainty Dresses for the Heated ses-
Exceedingly pretty this year are the
organizes and muslins, and for girls
particularly there la wide choice.
For graduating gown an extremely
pretty design is made up of lace-striped
organdie and plain India null. The
outer skirt Is mounted over a thin lawn
underskirt. The edge of the front
breadth is trimmed with three rows OF
Valenciennes insertion and a ruffie of
Valenciennes lace-in all about three
inches wide. At the foot of the skirt
is q five-inch ruffie Of organdie headed
with a tiny beading. The underskirt OF
lawn has lace-edged ruffic the same
depth as the one on the skirt. The back
Of the skirt Is gathered into about 3H
inches. The back of the waist Is simply
gathered under the belt, the ribbon OF
which is sewed into the underarm seam
about half way down, from there Is
crossed to the back and drawn round In
front, here 1t is fastened into loose
ly-tied bow. The waist in front is made
of plain null, as Is also the lower puff
| Of the sleeve. The waist is set on gath
cred yoke of the same, with bands OF
narrow Valenciennes lace. 1t hangs
over in a pretty, loose fashion, but SO
that the lines of the figure are not hid
den. Narrow edgings of Valenciennes
, lace and white satin ribbon bows are
the trimmings.
Another graduating dress which is
| much simpler is also of white organdie
| trimmed with Valenciennes lace. The
body is made with round yoke and u
full ruffie trimmed with three rows Ut
| Valenciennes lace. The sleeves have
bands of the lace and the skirt is edged
with a ruffie trimmed with Valen-
ciennes. 1t is made with q white lawn
skirt, but can be worn equally well over
any other color.
A white dotted Swiss which is ex-
ceedingly dressy is made up over white
taffeta. The seams are all marked
with insertion of Valenciennes lace
which shows the sheen of the silk
through very prettily. The waist

Feed for Young Pigs.

The young pig should have enough
feed to maintain thrift, but he should
not be fed as IL he were being fattened.
The digestion of young pigs is weak.
and IL overfed at this time, especially
with corn, they will become stunted.
and never after prove profitable ami
mails. The Western Swineherd main
tains that feed for young pigs should
not be concentrated. Give them a
small proportion of grain and wheat
middlings, with enough milk and dish
water to distend their stomachs and
keep their digestion In good condition.
A pig should be eight or nine months
old before II will be snfe TO feed IL
heavily with corn.

Telling N Horses Are.

THE popular idea that the age of d
horse can always be told by locking at
his teeth" said n veterinary surgeon on
Michigan avenue, sis not entirely cor.
rect. After the eighth year the horse
has no more new teeth, so that the tooth
method is useless for telling the age Of
q horse which is more than eight years
old. AS soon as the set of teeth is com.
plete, however, n wrinkle begins to ap-
pear on the upper edge of the lower
eyelid, and new wrinkle is added each
year, so that to get at the age Of a hors.
more than eight years old you must fig
ure the teeth plus the wrinkles. Chi

may be made from small flock of hens.
One farmers wife began last year with

profit of $5e.7a, and the eggs sold for
one cent each, and the chickens dis

THEY WE'RE CALLED DOWN.
A Party of Students Tackled a Clown and
Took IA High Fall.

Took u High Fall
An interesting episode occurred the
other day at New Brunswick, n. j.,
when 100 or more Rutgers college
students attempted to run circus ac-
cording to their own ideas. They guyed
the clown and he demonstrated, where
upon they guyed him all the more. The
rest of the audience wished to see the
performance and Kissed the students,
but the latter persevered in their efforts
to stop the show. Finally the patience
Of every one was exhausted. You look
like gentlemen" commented the clown.
Bravo" yelled the 100 students. But
do you intend to annoy these 1000
women and children wild cheering)
who have paid to see this show?
(Cheers.) Have you no respect, have
you no mothers or sisters?" cloud
cries Of: mo" from the students.) The
clown stopped in despair. Suddenly he
Frightened up and yelled: you needn't
think you can run this show, even il you
Go wear 60-cent pants" Then the au-
dience yelled and cheered, and the clown
encouraged by the support, continued:
"But don't be impatient, papa will send
Your board money next week" The
students were quiet, but the rest of the
audience shouted: Bravo
Then the clown told story. II was
standing at the station last night" he
said, "when young man was struck by
q locomotive. His arm was knocked off,
his leg twisted out of shape, his ribs
Knocked in, his head cut open and his
brains scattered along the track. The
doctor came, pasted the mans arm on.
Strengthened his leg, mended his ribs
and closed the gap in his head. The
young man started off. Then the doc
tor discovered that he hadn't put the
mans brains in his head. He yelled for
him to come back, but the young mans
friends said 1t wasn't necessary to
bother about the brains, because he was
going to college ut New Brunswick"
Everybody in the crowd checred except
ing the students. They were as meek as
lambs, and during the remainder of the
evening made themselves conspicuous
by their quietness. Without an excep-
ton, 1t was the greatest "call down" the
students have ever had, and 1t Is the talk
of the town to-day.-Troy Times.

WHEAT AND P0PULISM.

Senator Marion Butler, chairman OF the
Populist National Committee, has given
out the statement that the jump in wheat
is simply another evidence that the mar
ket to certain extent is controlled by
speculation, and that the price of any
product thus controlled can be tempo
rarily lowered or raised al will by those
who hold the calls for future delivery.
This is another form of the oft-repeated
statement that The goldbugs control the
world. The Popuists and their allies
among the Democrats arc trying to dis
count the effects of the rise in the price OF
wheat by asserting with vebemence that
it is the work of the Republican man
ayers and has been done simply for cam
paign effect. 1t is fortunate that these
men have no weight and influence in the
markets OF the world, for If what they say
should be needed the advance in wheat,
which promises so much prosperity to
America, would be checked and our people
would be induced to sell their crops for
much less than they are worth.
In this case the cry Of corporate
power" has pushed Stiffness to the ex-
treme limit and reached the verge of

from the statement of Mr.. Butler is that
it will give the people fair understand
ing OF the campaign tactics of the Bryan
lie managers. It is clear they intend to
misrepresent every prospect OF prosperity
and dlstort every sign of good times into
some appearance of corporate coercion
and goldbug manipulation. 1t is hardly
credible that such tactics would be found
successful even among the most ignorant
of the people, and it would seem that all
that is necessary to refute them is the
derisive laughter with which they will be
greeted by intelligent men in every Sec
tion of the Union.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

II is the supreme duty of the Republi-
cans of California in the present campaign
10 stand solidly shoulder 10 shoulder be-
hind the Republican party; to put forth
every effort in every way for its success,
and TO do nothing which might bring dis
cord to the ranks of its supporters or di-
minish IN the slightest measure the suffi-
cheney and the glory of lis victory.
The position of honor and credit which
California may be entitled to among the
States which shall assist in returning the
Republican party to power largely de-
pends upon the loyalty and unity with
which those who assert them selves to be
its mem Ders support the party in its effort
to win for California that position.
In a military campaign it is essential
that the army shall maintain perfect har-
mony and order among its various parts
as it approaches the battlefield where the
supreme issue is to be tried. No army
could hope for that perfection of discip-
line upon which victory depends If its
officers and regiments were engaged in
daily dissensions among themselves over
the divisions of the spoils of war. In an
election campaign a similar necessity for
harmony prevails. 1t is the duty of every
person who claims to be member of the
party to support its constitutional lead
crs and sustain its regular organization in
its every movement and its every part.
To fail or refuse to yield such obedience
and render such support would in war be
disloyalty, and it is equally so IL politics.
In elections involving local as we'll ai
National results every issue and every
Office are important as affecting the gen.
eral party success, and hence in such cam
paigns the regular party organization
should be loyalty sustained at every point,
and every ticket-local. State and National
which it has regularly put forth should
be earnestly supported by every member
of the party.
The Republican party of California is
engaged in conducting such q campaign.
1t has regularly selected a body of Ma
tional electors pledged to vote for William
Mckinley for President of the United
States. 1t has also, through its equally
regular subdivisions, put before the peo-
pie regular Republican Congressional and
county tickets throughout the entire
State. In the City and County of San
Francisco the regular and legal local or
ganization has named municipal ticket
and has placed at its head an esteemed
citizen and tried and faithful public ser
want in the person of Colonel Charles L.
Taylor, the regular Republican nominee
for Mayor.
1t is easy to discover where the path Of
rarty duty for every loyal Republican lies.
He should sustain the regular organization
and regular nominees of his party, and
under no circumstances should he be
found disioyal to the one or unfaithful to
the other. The Republican party expects
every man to do his duty in this cam
paign.

1t is rather surprising that SO little
attention has been paid to the claim of
Mr.. Bryan that there is a necessity for
an increase of our circulating medium,
for it is a striking fact that in France,
where the circulating medium is S36
per capita, wages are considerably
lower than in England, where the cir
culating medium is but SIS per capita,
and vastly lower than in the Unite d
States, where the circulating medium
is S22 per capita. The supply and de-
mand for labor, the cost OF living, and
the profit which invested capital can
earn, determine the pay or the en-
pIoyed and not the amount of money in
circulation. Confidence plays an Inn
portant part. 1t alone can bring back
the good old days of business prosper
ity, and it will not come with a 53-
cent dollar.-Hon. Timothy L. Wood
