ABOUT CAPONIZING.
The Operation Completely Changes the
Nature of the Cockerel.


After caponizing cockerel it's ma
ture becomes entirely changed. They
take on 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 a
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-looRing cockerel 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 dfsposing of large number
of cockerels whose diminutive sizes are
small inducements to the dealer. Ca
ponize the chicks and you have at once
profit in 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 a
pound to pound and half. The size
is equally important as the age. April,
May, June. August, September and Oc-
tober are the months generally taken
for caponiZing. for the reason that
spring chickens arrive at proper age
and weight during these months; also.
because cockerels caponized then ar
rive at proper age and weight for mar
ket during the months of November,
December. January, February March.
April and May. at which times there is
the greatest demand for them in the
cities and highest prices secured.--Pil-

do this work. A pipe is laid from near
the bottom of the we'll up to the frost
line of the ground, and down the slope
to the cellar of the house where it turns
upward to the kitchen sink. Where the
bend of the pipe is higher than the
kitchen sink all one needs to do is to
put faucet on the end of the pipe and
sc draw water at will. This principle of
syphoning water on the farm ought to
