AMONG FARMERS.

Farmers have begun the work OF plow-

OF the rains, the ground is very hard and
works poorly.
Farmers are so busy tireshing these
times that they are seldom seen IN the
city.
Where the army worm operated
throughout this county the yield is very
poor. Farms which last year returned
| 600 bushels, this year give but 100
| bushels and these are not isolated in

AT She mex session OF the county board
1t might he we'll TO urge the necessity or
building a screen around the county Jail.
II is positive nuisance to permit prison
ers to loll ont of the windows in full
view OF pGssers-by. It tends to lower
the moral tone of children. Directly
across the street is a school, the pnplls
of which at recesses and intermlssions
utilize the adjoining streets IN playing
and thus they are confronted by the
leering faces Of the inmates of the jail.
1t is also claimed that obscene language
is Otter indulged in by the prisoners SO
that ladies refuse 10 frequent that side
of the street. The prisoners should be
completely isolated. That Is their
punishment for violating the laws. A
screen of some kind is imperatlvely need
| ed, even though it mar the beauty" OF

coming up through the hole in the left
center of the table, passing around the

should be in proportion to the size and
strength of the bird; then after pluck
ing n few feathers from the side of
the cockerel just in front of the thigh,
cut 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
prefer to work from both sides, as it
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 broilerl Then, too, another
thing to expect is from Is to 25 per cent.
"slips"-these are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and as they mature the comb grows,
and to all appearances they are roosters.
Possibly the most important factor of
all in successful operation is having
the cockerel at the proper age. l am
better acquainted with the Plymouth
Rocks than any other breed, and with
them about 31L 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 30 hours
previous to the operation; in three
days time the wound should be healed
over, and in two or three weeks 1t would
be quite difficult to find even n scar.
Now we have n bird that Will pat on
flesh at surprising rate; the meat Is
of delicious flavor and very tender
and Juicy, and with the same amount
of feed, capon will weigh about a third
more at a given age than IL left as a
rooster. 1t is we'll worth the trouble TO
have the noisy young cockerels trans
formed into 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

first year engaged in this department
of my poultry work, when sold 20
capons averaging eight pounds at rs
cents per pound, one of which dressed
oh pounds, and q well-known lawyer
paid me S2.37 for the same. So we see
the advantages are threefold-a better |

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

Black feathered fowls have q white
skin. White skinned fowls usually sell
at a less price than yellow-skinned
fowls.
Young Guineas do not thrive well II
hatched too early. Taking one year
with another June is plenty early to
have them hatch.
A filthy drinking fountain will breed
disease sooner than anything else, and
easily becomes foul when large num-
Der of fowls drink from it
Young ducks drink water every day
when eating. They should be supplied
with all they can drink in a convenient
place while they are eating.
Carbolic acid is poison, and too much
should not be used. Ten or twelve drops
in a quart of water is enough. For
cholera double this quantity.
After the turkeys are ten days old
they may be turned out every morning
after the dew is off and be allowed TO
stay out all day, unless there are hard
showers.
Give the hens as much liberty as pos
sible now. 1t is natural for them to
forage. They will lay more eggs on the
food that they pick up than If kept in n

FOLDING KITES,
A Novelty from France That Closes Like
an Umbrella

Novelty from France That Closes Like
an Umbrella
a novelty from France is folding
kite. Folded up 1t looks somewhat like
a small rolled-up umbrella; opened out
ready to fly it's shape is like that of the
kite commonly known as the bow kite
1t has single upright stick, which Is
30 inches in length. The bow is formed
of two light steel ribs, one on either
side of the stick, which are raised into
place and bowed into form, as the ribs
braces running from the ribs to n metal
band which slides on the stick, like the
sliding ferrule on the handle of an un-
brella; when the bow is raised and in
place it is held there by turning a little
metal button attached to the kite stick
under the band to which the braces are
attached. AS the ribs are raised their
inner ends, where they meet at the
stick, near the top, bow up into a light
metal holder which projects slightly on
either side of the stick and which holds
the two parts of the bow in line.
The kite Is covered with light muslin;
they are used In covering the kites
muslins of various colors, so that some
of the kites are red, some blue, and SO
on. The tail is of string with little
parti-colored punches of muslin cut
tings attached along its length, as lit
tie punches of paper are sometimes at
tached to string kite tails; at the end
there is a little bag in which may be
placed q marble or other weight, if more
ballast Is required, in a high wind.
