Strange Work for Women.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Girls are displaclng men in walks OF
life undreanaed of only a decade ago."
said August II. Kaems. deputy state
factory inspector of ~Sheboygan, Wis.
up in my own city girls have been
working in the varnish rooms of the
chair factories for almost twenty years
and within the last ten years many
others have found employment in one
of the foundries enameling kitchen
utensils. Barring the intense heat in
the rooms. the work is comparatively
easy, though it does seem strange to
find women in foundries.
The bottling departments of the
breweries also employ girls in prefer
ence to boys. and the work being almost
entirely automatic. where other condi-
lions are wholesome, little criticism can
be made.
ut was not until 1 entered upon my
present duties that / learned that girls
! are also being employed in tanneries.
I am a amer by trade, so that it was
cutie a surprise to me when l saw frail
women perform work which fell to
sturdy men in former years. These
girls are principally employed in the
chrome departments. In northern Wis

cAPoNlzINe FOR PROFIT.

1t is an open question whether it is prof
liable to caponiZe. In sections where the
demand is considerable for capons, and
such sections are only near the large cities,
it undoubtedly pays to learn the art. 1t is
quite simple and all people Will not learn
it so extensively as did the writer who
killed ffty-six birds before he operated on
one that survived. However. The lessen
was we'll learned for we rarely lose a bird
now. There are a number Of books on the
subject of caponiziEg, more or less valu-
able, but the best plan is to buy a good
set of caponizing instruments and follow
the directions which come with them. I'm
less there is a good demand for capons 1T
pays better to give the young ROSTERS the
range as long as possible then fatten them
quickly for the late fall market and sell
them for what they will bring: this is US
ually more profitable than to feed them
longer for the holiday trade unless one has
a great abundance Of home grown grain.
