Breeds for caponizIng Work.

Breeds for caponizIng Work.
T. Greiner, in "Capons for Profit"
says: There Is a great difference In
breeds and birds. OF all the breeds
that have tried I find the Langshan
the easiest subject to operate on, be-
cause the bird makes bone first and
flesh afterward. 1t Is usually lean
when young, and shows the ribs quite
plainly. It offers little difficulty to
the prompt removal Of the testicles,
and apparently Is suffering the least
while under the operation. Besides
this the Langshan has the advantages
Of large size and great hardness. My
next choice would be the Langshan
and Plymouth Rock Cross. Most Of
the ordinary mixed fowls Of our barn
yards are easily operated on. Cochins
i have never tried. They are large
and should make good capons'
Brahmas will grow to largest size, and
may prove the most profitable Of all
breeds for this purpose, yet the be-
ginner will be apt to have trouble
with them. The ribs do not show
prominently on the outside. Although
this makes little difference to a per-
son after he has operated on q number
Of fowls, 1t may puzzle the beginner
The most serious stumbling block,
however, is the shape Of the testicle,
which in young Brahma cockerels is
about half-inch long, extending close
and worm.like along the big artery.
To slip a horse-hair loop around the
Brahma testicle, so that 1t will eaten
on and cut Its way between the ties.
ticle and the big artery, Is no small
Job for the beginner. | would not
have succeeded quite so well with the
Brahmas except for the use OF steel
wire in the place Of horse-hair. MY
emphatic advice, therefore, is to make
the first trial with easy caponizers,
especially the Langshan or Langshan
cross, or with ordinary smaller breeds,
never with Brahmas. find 1t Is less
trouble to operate on young birds than
on older birds. 1t is also a good plan
to use a dead bird for the first lesson.
Shut the victim up without food or
drink for IS hours. This Is important,
as you want the intestines empty.
Then chop his head off, put him on
the operating table in good light and
go ahead making your examinations
In cockerel anatomy.

There is ample room, however, for a
wise choice in selecting the place for
the crown on this tree. The lower

account the point for the crown on
this tree should be selected as low
down as possible.
In cut 6 Is shown the same tree after
pruning. The limbs will throw out
many side branches next year, because
they are not shaded by other limbs

Nalue Of Hen Manure,

The eggs and chickens are not all
that the hen gives you. There are
the droppings as well, An expert
ment, with a view Of determining the
value Of these, was conducted at the
Raleigh IN. o. Experiment Station.
This experiment showed that the com
mercial value Of the droppings Of the
hen was equal to at least half the cost
Of maintenance. This experiment
showed that the amount Of nitrates in
hen manure was 67 to II in the same
bulk Of farmyard manure; that the
proportion of phosphorlc acid In hen
droppings was 4Sk, as compared with
6 In barnyard manure, and that the

Pums and Cherries for South Dakota.
A newspaper bulletin from the
South Dakota station at Brookings
recommends the following plums, on
northern native plum roots, DeSoto,
Wyant, Wolf, Forest Garden, Odegard,
Miner, Hawkeye. For trial, Olson.
Stoddard. The cherries recommended
are Early Richmond, Wragg, English
Morello, 0stherin. Farmers in South
Dakota intending to set out cherry and
plum trees will do well to write to the
experiment station for advice.
Prof. N. 3, Hansen, Of Brookings,
has the following to say on root-kill.
ing: A common source Of trouble Is
the winter-killlng Of the tender roots
or stocks upon which apple, plum and
cherry trees are grated or budded in
the nurseries. Trees should be protect.
ed by mulch or layer or stable litter
spread on the ground for several feet
out beyond the branches, This pre-.
vents trouble from root-killing. Guilt
yate the mulch into the soil during the
growing season, at least in young or.
chards, to prevent drawing the roots
too near the surface. If plum trees
are on our northern native plum roots,
no trouble need be feared from root
killing. If the fall is dry, a heavy
soaking Of the roots with water is a
great help, before mulching, as 1t pre-
vents drying out during the winter. If
we were always sure Of heavy snow
this watering would not be necessary.

Police RAIDERS ARE FREED.
Because They Took the Advice Of a jerome
Asslstant-TEc 600 Arrests Wrongful.

MagisI rate Brpen in the Tombs police
court yesterday dismissed the charge of as
saut made against Police Inspector Smith,
Capt. Hogan and Detectives McAleese and
Lynch by the poolroom men after the
police had arrested nearly 900 men in the
raids of June rs on warrants for only
eighteen.
The Magistrate in his decision said the
acts of the police were positively wrongful
and unlawful hut at the same time AS
sistant District Attorney Pechner had adj
vised the police to go ahead. and that
showed good faith on their part.
Then the Magistrate let Mr.. Pechner
down easily by saying that his error in
giving the advice was not surprising in
view of the slight difference in two sections
of the Penal Code. The decision is as
follows
Warrants, Of arrest for eighteen, persons
being described in the warrants. and the
offence alleged to have been committed by
each OF them specifically stated therein.
Arrests made by the, police outside of the
authority given by these warrants, except
for crime committed in their presence.
were not only, unauthorized,, but positively
wrongful and unlawful. These warrants,
on June 20. The i've hundred and odd citizens
apprnhcnded, the complnInnnts being among
the number. were arrested presumably for
something which II was alleged they did on
June %, two days after the date and issuance
of the warrants. IL ia therefore, very clear
that IN making the arrest of this multitude no
pretence can be Tade that the police were
acting directly or indirectly under these war;
rants The conduct OF the police. therefore.
must he Judged and disposed OF, SO far as the
arres' , complained Of are concerned, as though
10 warrants were issued M all.
Section 35l of the Peral code. while pro-
vidlng for the punishment OF persons who
engage In poolsclng. bookmHdng or regis
terng or receiving bets, eXemrts from pun
shment those who merely place bets, on
the other hand, Section 34i not only provides
for the punishment OF those who keep and
maintain gambling houses. but also those
who play. This brings liz to what might be-
termed the error in this case.
The learned District Attorney frankly adj
mlttcd, that before these arrests were made
the police authorities obtaincd advice from
his office. and that perhaps owing to the
similarity of the two sections referred TO. an
erroneous advice WIS inadvertently given by
one of his HsslstBnts,
From the standpoint Of the advice, the po-
lice may be presumed to have acted IN good
