PROFIT IN %CAPONIZING.
A Simple Operation and Some Reasons
why 1t Pays the Farmer to
Perform 1t.

The chief reason for caponizing cock
erels is to get a larger profit out of them.
Good capons generally sell for a higher
price per pound than other poultry.
They also weigh more, and are marketed
at a time when the flock is bringing lit
tie return. A flock of capons are quiet,
do not crow and are easily taken care OF.
The best breeds to caponize are the
medium-sized varieties, such as Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandots, Rhode Island
Reds, etc. The Asiatics do no give as
satisfactory results unless kept until
they reach maturity, when they are so
large as to be beyond the reach OF private
families. 1t does not pay to caponize
smaller breeds, for they do not produce
dressed fowls of the highest quality. Ca
pons are usually marketed at from
six to IL months of age, and the market
for them opens soon after the holidays.
The best time to caponize is when the
cockerels are three to four months old.
At this age the operation can be per-
formed with less danger than when the
birds are older and larger. A bright,
sunny day must be chosen for the OPP
Grafton and the birds must have been
tasted for at least "a hours previous. A
special set of instruments are neces-
sary for this purpose, and the work re-
quires skill and care. One may easily
acquire the skill by practicing on a few
dead birds.-Orange Judd Farmer.

In No. 2 the thread must be carried

whv Women Don't Fish.

How does it hapepn that the fisher
mans mantle never falls on the
women of the house. Investigators
claim that the daughter is more likely
to inherit the fathers qualities than
is the son. We all know that with
other taints and Observation-Disclosures
cies that cause, alas, suffering, shame,
disease, disgrace, death-nature is not
SO lenient. Women come in for their
full share Of the visitation for the
sins of their fathers, and there are no
physical traits or peculiarities that
NAV not descend in the same way. 1t
seems to me a trife hard that when 1t
comes to the one Inheritance that
yields such absolute enjoyment, they
should be so mercilessly cut out.
l do not believe that they are cut
out, except by artificial reasons. | be-
lieve the daughter is born with the
same devotion to the stream, the
woods. the open air, the blue sky, the
same intolerance of restraint, the
same periodical longing to be away,
with the same skillful hands and un-
canny brain that her father had before
her. and that her brothers are encour-
aged to indulge. Custom, however.

cHEEsEs OF ALL COUNTRIES.
Some Familiar Kinds That Have BE.
come Well Liked I'm the
United States.

Each country has it's favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. 1t
is made of goats milk, and is full of
holes, caused by the gases in fermenta-
ton. The typical English cheese is the
cheddar, first made in the English town
after which it is named.
Brie is a popular French soft cheese;
and camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another. These cheeses are
cured in caves, where the temperature
never rises above IL TO Ii degrees.
Roquefort, a celebrated French
cheese, is made from the mingled milk
OF goats and sheep that browse on the
thyme-clad banks of the Arno. These
cheeses are also ripened in caves. but
the temperature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the roquefort cheese is that
called gorgonzola, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
roquefort, and not quite SO good; but
II sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated.
Limburger cheese. so beloved by the
Germans. originated in Belgium. 1t is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen by p~utrefaction. hence its hor-
rifying odor to unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have a saying: Cor
gonzola is a cheese TO swear by, lin

insects Have Characteristics Hitherto
Unknown to the Scientists.
A new trait possessed by ants has
been discovered by a French traveller
in some of the insects he found on
his journey through Siam. These
creatures were very small, of q gray
color and lived in damp places. They
Travelled often and in troops, which
seemed to be under the direction OF
a commander, who rode on horse
back" NJ. Meissen, the Frenchman
who noticed this popularity, was at
tracted to these groups by discover
ing that each company contained q
large ant that travelled more rapidly
than the others. Observing them
more closely, he noticed that each
large ant always carried a small gray
ant upon his back, though the re
mainder of the troops were on foot
This mounted ant would ride out from
the line, travel swiftly along the col
umn from head to rear and appar
entity overlook their maneuvers. Nj
Meissen concluded from what he saw
that this species Of ant, while on its
travels, is under the direction of a
commander, though such ant horses
as the general rides must be rare and
valuable, for he scarcely ever found
more than one mounted ant in a col
nny

PAINTING LACE A FAD.
Artistic Girls Have Made the Discov-
cry That Color Adds to Beauty
of Fabric.

The fad for painting on lace gives a
chance to the girl who has more artistic
ideas than she has skill with her brush.
A certain part of the design OF the
lace is selected, and the color is lightly
applied. Care and lightness OF touch are
all necessary for the amateur to succeed
as well as the artist. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to bring out the
roses, and violets, and the different
wreaths, and garlands which appear IN
the laces which adorn everything.
A white silk parasol with lace medal
lions can be made much more beautiful
by adding color II it in this way. A
simple little gauze fan with lace motifs
set in becomes artistic if the tiny flowers
are painted. A pair of pink silk hose with
lace insets is worth double the price IL
the small sprays of arbutus in the de-
sign are Just touched with pink.
Even the wash laces are painted In
stead of working out the design in o
ored cotton, as is also done on both lace
and embroidery. The painting is a far
less tedious process, and for thin gowns
is a great deal more beautiful.
To make it practical for trimming
wash gowns, the girls at the art instl-
tute use the little package dyes, which
are indellible; instead Of paints, for
their colors, and for a mixer, gasoline Is
used, adding a little at a time, as fast as
it evaporates. This makes a color which
is heavy enough for anything so trans
parent as lace, and which will stand the
tubing process.
Care should be taken in selecting a
lace with a motif whose color can be car
ried out to combine artistically with that
of the gown.-Chicago Tribune.

He who fears drudgery will fall short
of success.
Poultry is susceptible to kind treat
ment and good keeping as any kind of
stock.
1t is the lazy fat hen that is an indif-
ferent layer. If such hens are COM
PEELED to work for their feed they will
soon be laying.
Some shippers to private customers
go so far as to have a little paddock on
every crate of eggs they send out, and
claim 1t is a help In holding customers.
Take good care of the young poultry.
To lose a chick by carelessness is like
letting money be lost through neglecting
a hole in the pocket, and just as useless.
If a man knows ducks and has a suit
able range for them with a pond of clean
water containing aquatic animal and
vegetable life, ducks can be raised at lit
tie cost.
If the hens or young chicks are yard
ed, do not forget to provide them a lib
eral supply of green stuff every day. 1t
will save grain and help to make a
mixed ration.
Eggs are cash bringers the year round
and If a flock of hens is managed right
ly they can be made to produce eggs
when a few dozen of them will bring a
snug little sum.
Where but a small amount of room is
available for keeping poultry, a pen or
two of bantams might be introduced with
profit. A very tiny house will accommo-
date the little birds.-Farmer Voice.

A STRANGE Enterprise.

The recent discovery of the French
police of a mummy factory at Mon
trouge, near Paris, has caused no lit
tie CONSERVATION among owners OF
these somewhat grewsome curiosities.
1t is said to be well-nigh impossible
to distinguish the products of the fac
tory from the genuine article, and
hundreds of public institutions and
thousands of private collectors and
dealers are believed to have been VIC
timized.
The method adopted in order to de-
ceive the experts is described as most
elaborate. First a skeleton is pro-
cured, and, after being immersed for
a short period in sulphate of ammonia.
is swarthed in bandages stepped in
a preparation of Burgundy pitch and
resin, with dry spices and dust.
The parcel is then sent to Egypt to
be "~naturalized'' and authenticated"
and after an interval is returned in a
"sarcophagus," which, though covered
with archaic hieroglyphics, is also OF
modern French manufacture.
Paris, by-the-bye, has always had q
somewhat sinister reputation in re-
gard to forged antiquities, although
this is said to be the first time that
sham mummies have emanated from
there.
In 1862, however, a man named
Vrain-Lucas, living in the Rue Jean
jacques Rousseau, managed to dispose
of no fewer than $4,000 bogus manu-
scripts, gems, enamels and worries.
He said he found them in an iron
bound chest in a ruined city in Central
America; but it came out afterwards
thai he had. with infinite pains and
cunning, made them all himself.
The pride of the collection was
what purported to be an ancient silver
casket of Syrian workmanship, and
which contained, among other things.
a love letter from Judas Iscariot to
Mary Magdalen,. twenty-five letters to
St. Peter from Lazarus, and two BRIEF
epistles from Gremius Julius to our
Lord.
OF course, the manuscripts, like the
casket which contained them, were
impudent forgeries. Nevertheless.
they deceived even experts for a time.
