TO close cattle We're dressed at the
weight of 400 pounds net, or less. In
1880, as was stated by an historian and
statistician, they were killed at a weight
OF $50 to 500 pounds, at four years OF
age. In a few years from now the great
bony frame and bulky carcass of the
Texas steer will have disappeared, and
instead of these we will have the short
horns, the Angus and the Herefords, or
their grades.
1t is surprising how early in life calves,
when raised by hand, viii learn to eat,
or rather lick up. If calf is weaned
directly it has drawn the milk once or
twice after birth. and is taught to drink
milk from the pail, it has no further use
for it's dam than to have her furnish at
first new milk, and, subsequently all
the skim milk it can assimilate. At
four weeks old it will lick salt, if taught,
and dry bran. At six weeks of age a
handful of cornmeal may be added.

should have Tin SEASON. all the good
pasture grass it can consume. Raise all
your calves. At six weeks of age geld
your males. One year on my farm had
bakers dozen of calves. They drank
at proper age, all the milk in any shape.
and then they were fed half bushel
of corn and cob meal. and never had
finer lot to turn out to pasture the next
spring. They were large and in fine con-
dition.
The American people eat much meat.
It always was abundant; but either we
export too much, or we do not raise
enough, for in these days it is neither
cheap nor good. The mechanic and the
laborer cannot afford to buy much at
the prices at which it retails: and vet
the quotations run from $3.50 to $500;
hence it should come to the consumer
at lower rate than it does at present.

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

A small flock, with plenty of room will
thrive and the hens will lay better than
a larger, crowded flock.
When the hens are crowded they must
compete and struggle with each other
for room on the roosts.
Black feathered fowls have a white
skin. White skinned fowls usually sell
at less price than yellow-skinned
fowls.
Young Guineas do not thrive well if
Matched too early. Taking one year
with another June is plenty early to
have them hatch.
disease sooner than anything else, and
easily becomes foul when a 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.
When the wings are cut the feathers
10 not renew until the bird molts, but
where the feathers are pulled new feath-
ers will appear in short time.
If the laying hens can be fed as soon
as they fly down from their roe,sts and
again just before they go on the roosts
at night this is all that will be needed.
Give the hens as much liberty as pos
sible now. It is natural for them to
forage. They will lay more eggs on the
food that they pick up than if kept in a
yard and fed well.--St. Louis Republic

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
tenter of the table, passing around the
wings. The weights on tae two levers
should be in proportion to the size and
strength of the bird; then after pluck
ing few feathers from the side of
the cockerel just in front of the thigh,
cut slit between the last two ribs,
well 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 I
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 broiler! Then, too, another
thing to expect is from 5 to 25 per cent.
s'sIips'-these are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and as they mature the comb grows,
and to all appearances they are ROSTERS.
Possibly the most important factor of
all in a successful operation is having
the cockerel at the proper age. I am
better acquainted with the Plymouth
Rocks than any other breed, and with
them about 3As months seems to be the
proper age. Those breeds which mature
much earlier, like the Leghorns, should
be operated upon much younger, while
a 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 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
of delicious flavor and very tender
and juicy, and with the same amount
of feed. a capon will weigh about third
more at a given age than if left as a
rooster. 1t 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 %
cents per pound, one of which dressed
2H pounds. and a well-known lawyer
paid me s2.37 for the same So we see
the advantages are threefold-a better
price, larger bird and quiet bird.

4 Subisct of Great Interest to Farmer
Living Near Cities.
Aooet four years ago, through the
influence of an intimate friend, was
persuaded to experiment in small way
with capons. The departure was prac-
tically new thing for me, and it was
with some trepidation that entered
into It. but now, after knowing OF its
merits and its few i: any disadvantages,
1 wonder that caponizing is not better
known and more widely practiced than
it is. Anyone with a little enterprise
can successfully perform the operation,
and grow capons to perfection. and
once having given it trial, they will
never fail to caponize all their cockerels
that are not desirable for breeding pur-
poses, and thus be able to furnish their
table with a delicacy which our wealthy
epicures of the city prize very highly.
The operation, says writer in the
Orange Judd Farmer, is performed on
a table made for the purpose. about 3
feet high and ~ feet wide by long.
The bird is placed upon the table as in
dictated in the accompanying cut, the

required. A somewhat novel construc-,
ton is shown in the design of barn
that is presented herewith. The wall
space around three sides is used for
stock. while the space over the stock
the scaffolding be used for hay
and fodder, this being slowed away
with hay fork. The center of the barn
is taken up by an immense silo, or a
double silo, the center of the barn offer
ing the greatest height for the accom-
mediation of the silo. A cellar is needed
under such a barn, so that manure can
be dropped through the floor. If the
cellar is not possible, the manure can
be wheeled out in car arranged to run
behind the cattle. Make the foundation
grout wall and cover the sliding with
heavy paper. Shingles over this will
keep all very warm within. If more
fodder is required than can be stored
upon the scaffolding, stack can be
made outside.-N. Y. Tribune.

Best Tune to Sell Hogs.

When to sell hogs is mooted ques
ton among farmers. One writer adj
vises to sell hogs when the most money
can be got for them at the least outlay
The ups and downs of prices we cannot
control, but by careful attention to
feeding and the use of scales we can tell
closely whether we are making corn
into pork at a profit or not, there ought
to be change of ration or an immediate
sale of marketable stock. It doesn't
pay to hold beyond the time of profita-
BILE growth and fattening. Most sue
cessful feeders believe it pays best one
year with another to sell the pork when
the highest point in grain has been
reached. letting the question of profita-
BILE high prices alone. Corn used in
keeping over fattened hogs will make
twice as much pork il given to other
animals 1t is a losing game to hold for
an increase of price as rule. Make all
the pork you can out of your corn in
just as little time as possible and then
market to the best advantage.-Rurul

pear on the upper edge of the lower

Feed for Young Pigs.

The young pig should have enough
feed to maintain thrift, but he should
not be fed as if he were being fattened.
The digestion of young pigs is weak,
and if overfed at this tirne, especially
with corn, they will become stunted,
and never after prove profitable ami
mails. The Western Swinehcrd main
tains that feed for young pigs should
not be concentrated. Give them
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 it will be safe to feed it
heavily with corn

If in 1873 a man had contracted a
debt payable in wheat, cotton, corn.
beef, pork. iron or almost any other
commodity, or in silver, he could now
pay it with just about the same effort
that would have been required then.
But if he had contracted a gold debt,
in order to pa5 it now he would have
to give up twice as much of the prod.
net OF his labor as would have suf.iced
at the time the contract was made.

GAZETTE CAN'T GET OVER 1T
Works its Driebnnd Idea for all its Worth
and Maybe More,

London. Sept. 1.-THE ST. James Ga
zette, returning TO the discussion of its
proposition of a new driebund to be
composed of England, the United States
and Italy, for the settlement of the Ar
merriam question. says:
IF Great Britain, the United States
and Italy presented the sultan with
joint demand that certain conditions
must be complied with within three
days time, 1t is highly probable that his
Russian advisers would intimate to
Abdul Hamid that he would have TO
yield. If Abdul Hamid was advised
against his own interests so strongly
that he refused to yield to them, an
Ang1o-Italian fleet, with such American
vessels as could arrive in time, could
force the Dardanelles and dictate to the
BCSphorus.
The mere existence of such an alli-
ance would probably be sufficient to con-
vince not merely the sultan, but per
sons and powers of greater weight that
the atrocities must end"
The article in the St. James Gazette
concludes with the following state
ments:
IN the event of greater complica-
tons ensuing, the new briebund would
enable US to face them with the material
support OF a fine navy. whose addition
TO ours would make us equal 20 any
possible combination and would give US
the gigantic moral support Of the civ
iized nations which no other state
would care TO have among its oppo-
uRntS"
