Vigor in Noting.

There is perhaps no time in the his
tory of the fowl that indicates it's vigor
so well as the melting period. Fowls
that molt in short time and hardly
stop laying during this period, as rule,
have strong, vigorous constitutions, and
il properly fed give large yearly record.
On the other hand, those that are long
time molting have not the vigor and
strength to digest and assimilate food
enough to produce the number of eggs
If it is necessary to select fowls some
time during the year other than the
molting period, some indication of their
reproducing power is shown in their
general conform alton. In selecting a
hen for egg production her form will
give some information of value. A long.
deep-bodied fowl is to be chosen rather
than one with short body, whose under
line is not unlike half circle. A strong
hearty, vigorous fowl usually has long
body, deep chest, with long and
quite straight under line.
Other things being equal, the larger
bodied fowls of the egg breeds are to be
preferred. 1t is a rule tEat fowls bred
for egg production are larger bodied than
those bred for fancy points. Whenever
vigor and constitution form an import
tant part in the selection of fowls for
breeding the size of the fowls is invaria-
bly, increascd.-U. s.. Farmers Bulletin.

A Paying Industry.


The Ohio Poultry Journal, speaking
with reference to the south, says that
the poultry business is q great and grow
ing industry, because it is paying one
and yet the majority of soatherners
think that it is ridiculous to compare
the raising of poultry with cotton grow.
ing; and yet it is a well-known fact that
almost any one can make more off of
four acres Of land devoted to the raising
of broilers and fancy poultry than he
could off Of twice as much land planted
in cotton. 1t is true the farmer finds
little trouble in marketing cotton, but
at such low price the profit on eight
acres of good cotton would not support
a family of four were it not for the most
rigid economy that is practised. He
can not better his position by saving
his cotton; his best friend will not pay
him more for 1T, the price is the same
everywhere. 1t is therefore greatly to
the farmers interest to let cotton alone

ing, fruit culture and especially the
raising of poultry. They can find
ready market for chickens at all times
of the year and at good price; and,
unlike cotton, the price on poultry is
not the same everywhere, thus allowing
one to ship his chickens and get much
better price for them than if sold at
home.
The average price of cotton for the
past ten years has been about seven
cents. Itrcost fully four cents to raise
it, profit of three cents per pound.
1t costs about ten cents per pound to
raise broiler which sells for twenty
cents per pound, profit of ten cents
per pound, or twenty cents on a two
months old broiler. It takes about
seven months to raise pound of cotton
and about one month to raise pound
of chicken. Fruit and poultry culture
go together, and any man can take
small plat of land, put up small poul-
Try plant, set it out in plums and
peaches, and by working industriously
make an independent living.

The Benefit of Males.

It is an undisputed fact that eggs will
remain longer in an edible condition if
NO male is allowed to run with the lay
ing hens, says A. P Allen in the Poultry
Keeper. For this reason, and also on the
score of annoyance, l have noticed of
late that authorities on poultry matters,
breeders and editors especially, advise
that no male be kept with laying hens
except when eggs are wanted for hatch
ing purposes.
My expert ence does not prove that this
advice is the correct thing to follow l
am pretty we'll satisfied that hens during
q greater part of the time will do much
better II allowed the presence of male.
The irst reason given in favor of hav
ing no male with the laying hens is cor
rect; the eggs certainly will retain for a
greater length of time their appearance
OF freshness, but this fact should not
have much influence with poultryman.
His aim should be to supply fresh eggs
to his customers and not to experiment
ON the length of time he cat keep eggs
and still call them fresh.
The second and most important reason
given is only partially true; at times, un-
der certain conditions, hens will do bet
ter if no male is allowed to run with
them. One of these times is the moult-
ing period, when the male should be
removed unless he is also moulting, in
which case there will be no annoyance.
No male should be allowed in the quar-
ters with the sitting hens, Or it'll hens
raising broods of chickens, nor with the
hens that are for any reason out of lay
ing condition. One exception | make
to this last statement, as an active male
will be found an important element in
breaking up broody hens.
In these instances male is a decided
nuisance, and his attentions are detri-
ment to his companions; they will do
better without him.
The point in this article that | wish to
emphasize is that in regard to ordinary
laying stock. My experience has salts
fed me that hens give better returns,
more g ggs, and less trouble to manage

Oaponizing

UapOnlzlng
Anyone with q little enterprise can
successfully perform the operation and
grow capons to perfection, and once hav-
ing given it trial, they will never fail
TO caponize all their cockerels that are
not desirable for breeding purposes, and
thus be able to furnish their table with
delicacy our wealthy eplcures of the
city prize very highly.
The operation is performed on a table
made for the purpose, about three feet
high and one and one-half feet wide by
three feet long. The bird is placed upon
the table, the legs being secured under a
padded lever at the operators right, and
the wings by loop of strong cloth at
tached to lever at the left and coming
up through hole in the center of the
table, passing around the wings. The
weights 90 the two levers should be in
proportion to the size and strength of
the bird. Then after plucking few
feathers from the side of the cockerel
Just in front of the thigh, cut slit
between the last two ribs well up to-
ward the back, and after adjusting the
"spreader," the operator can see what
remains to be done very plainly. Gut
from both sides, as it is much more con-
venient and 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 broier, Then, too, another
thing to expect is from Is to Is per cent
'slips." These are cockerels on which
imperfect operations were performed,
and IS they mature the comb grows, and
to all appearances they are ROSTERS. Posi-.
bly, the most important factor Of all in a
successful operation is having the cock
erel at the proper age. With Plymouth
Rocks about three and one-half months
seems to be the proper age. Those breeds
which mature much earlier, like the
Leghorns, should be operated upon m uch
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,
ia order to facilitate matters. the cock
erel should be tasted about thirty hours
previous TO the operation. In three days
time the wound should be healed over,
and in two or three weeks it would be
difficult to find even scar.
Now we have bird that will put on
flesh at q surprising rate, the meat is of
delicious flavor and very tender and
juicy, and with the same amount of feed

not before they had thrown away the evil

Merrill and West were near the scene. but
arrived too late 10 catch the perpetrators.
Merrill made a search Of a vacant lot just
TO the south of the saloon, and found a
razor. The burglars must have been old
hands at the business, as their work was
done in very slick manner. A cloth sat

the Oregon Improvement Companys coal
bunkers and started TO row to the mill
town, but got tired when near West Seat
tie, and. landing, deserted his boat and
started TO walk. He had not got very far
when he found that he could not reach
Blakeley by walking, and was in a diem
ma as TO what to do As luck would have
Ii, he ran across another rowboat and
grabbed" on to II. When out two or three
miles he lost the oars and houndered
around until the Glide picked him up and
brought him to this city. The police au-
thorities believe the man is not right in his
mind. 1t is not decided yet whether or not
