ABOUT CAPoNlZING.
The Operation Completely Changes the
Nature OF the Cockerel.

The Operation Completely Changes the
Naturesof. 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 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-looking 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 disposing of large number
of cockerels whose diminlutiye sizes are
small inducements to- thesdealer. 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 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
sfors~ 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-

FINDING THE QUEEN.
Description of Method Which Has

Description of u Method Which Has
Never Resulted In Failure.
1t used to be great deal of bother
for me, says E. Davenport, in American
Bee journal, to find queens in populous
colonies sometimes, but it is not much
now, for I can find a laying queen in
an eight or ten frame hive with four or
five minutes work, no matter how pop
ulous the colony, or what kind of
queen it is; and although the method I
practice has been described before, per-
haps it might be of interest to some be-
ginners for me to give it again.
AS remove the frames from the hives
| look them over for the queen, and if
she is not found readily land with me it
is seldom) the frames with the bees are
all placed in an empty hive close by. or
hung on a low rack made for this pur-
pose. If there are many bees left in
the hive, they are shaken out in front:
an entrance guard is now placed at the
entrance and the bees on the frames are
shaken off in front Of the hive. AS the
bees on each comb are shaken off the
comb is placed back in the hive. and
when all are in the cover is put on, and
the next hive containing a queen to be
found is treated the same. If one has a
number of queens to find, by the time
the last hive has been gone over The
queens of the first hives treated can be
readily found in front of their hives
among the few bees that have not gone
in. i. is51 I'll l%t@TD} Is
l have never as yet lost queen by
this method, but will say for the bene-
tit of beginners that this method should
not be practiced during the cool weather
in the spring or late in the fall after
queens have stopped laying. a.4.

upward to the kitchen sink. Where the

In the Apple Orchard.

Apples should be gathered as soon as
ripe, and the surplus and inferior spec
linens should nat be left upon the
ground to rot, invite vermin or breed
insects, but picked up and fed to stock
or otherwise disposed Of. BY doing this
the apple worm may be greatly dimin-
ished. Bands of carpet, bagging, or
other fabric fastened around the trunks
of the trees with a single long tack will
catch many of the apple worms after
they leave the fruit to undergo the last
transformation into moths. Examine
them weekly and kill all worms aud
pupa that are found. Rural World.

ATTITUDES. I should, therefore, advise
sheathing up on the inside of the stud
ding, using the ordinary boarding and
building paper on the outside of the
studding. The making of such dead
mir space will greatly assist in keeping
the interior warm, while the smooth
sheathing will do away with many
hooks and corners where dust and filth
may collect.
For economy in feeding with such an
arrangement of the stock, it will be
wise to have feedcar, or truck, to run
along the feeding floor and through the
feeding alley. A design is given here
with. This is arranged to hold good
ly quantity of ensilage to be carried to
the cribs of the cows, and has shoaler,
water-tight box fitting inside the top,
which can be put in place when the less

car can also be constructed for wheel
ing out the manure to the manure-room,
making it of form to be easily dumped,
though wheelbarrow will answer the
purpose very well.-Country Gentleman.
