copies. This is only the sixth
number of the journal. In size
it has grown from twenty pages
to thirty-siX. The quantity of
reading matter and illustrations
has increased accordingly To-
day there is not a publication of
its class in the whole country
containing more reading matter,
and very few as much. The vol

The journal commands the best

is by a man who knows whereof
he speaks.

CAPONIUED FOWL INDUS
TRY PAYS.

The wealthy epicures-msotly
OF our large cities-demand the
choicest and costliest of all table
provisions, and these purchasers
are now in such numbers as to
make profitable a certain number
of special productive industries,
such as the growing of ruits and
vegetables under glass, the rear
ing of pheasants, etc, and es-
pecially very considerable sup
ply of caponized fowls.
Capon production requires to
be made a speciality with certain
poultry growers, and it should
not be undertaken unless there
was assured from high-prices
hotels, restaurants and private
customers that the market would
be constant and prices maintain
ed at paying rates.
The producer must at the out
set fit himself for the process of
caponizing by lessons and eXper-
iment under a veterinarian or
some one with thorough expert
ence. Students at agricultural
colleges probably have opportu-
nifty for such practice under the
supervision of the poultry man
ayers of the stations.
The cockerels to be operated
upon should be of large stock,
preferably of theAsiatic breeds.
They should also be quite young,
and the surgery must be speedily
and skillfully performed or it
will result in the death of the
bird. A little practice, however,
soon gives confidence and accur-
acy to the operator, with but lit
tie suffering and speedy recovery
for the bird.
After t his, with abundant
feeding, the growth is very
rapid, and often a quite surpris-
ing size is obtaineddrmwfaoin
ing size is attained with the gen
erous feeding which is necessary
and which, growers say, is quite
an additional item of expense
above the provision for other
fowls. These birds must also be
kept in separate houses and runs
from the other fowlstaoifwyp
from the other flocks, or they
will be prosecuted, not only by
the other cocks, but by the hens.
Capons are not marketed until
fully mature-not under nine or !
ten months of age, when they |
will have attained almost the
size of a hen turkey, but more
plump and compact. They sell
to the dealer or packer at from
20 cents to 20 cents per pound
almost double the price paid for
other chickens.
The flesh of capons is I'M
more fine-grained and
more delicately favored than
that of other young cocks, and
in Europe the males for eating
are almost exclusively of this
character, but in this country
both the production and demand
are still something in the nature
of a clad" which even many
luxury-loving consumers are not
to pay for.

CAMPHOR CULTURE IN
TEXAS.

Normana, Texas.-Dr. H. w.
Blackburn has many camphor
trees over a years old. He has
proved that they will grow in
Texas. He is the first to grow
camphor successfully in Texas
outside of the government. He
claims only experimentation so
far, as he does with other semi
ctropical plants.
This section of the country
seems to equal, if not excel, Cali
fornia in orange culture, and
doubtless will in a few years be
ahead of California in earlyness
and flavor. There is wide range
of experiments to be assumed
beneficial to the person who
makes a study of semi-tropical
fruits. There are many plants,
fruits, etc., of a nature hereto
fore not deemed capable of exist
ing here that will be staple and
profitable crops within a few
years. The date palm is past the
experimental stage and requires
only time and capital to develop
this paying and delicious fruit,
only in Atao kcmfwyptaoijpjp
which was spuuosed to grow
only in Asia and Africa hereto
fore. The possibilities of this
country are unlimited, and it
offers to the people of other
states, where land is high, the
most for the least money and a
climate unsurpassed.

Mr.. Norman in experimenting
with the Satsuma and the COM

their relation to citrus trifoliata

with a new mulberry, new in

this number, it will be illus

Mr.. Normand will furnish a
series of articles, with photos il
Illustrating, for Texas Fruits.
The work he has done and is do
ing for horticulture inthe south
especially is most valuable.
These articles will alfbe of great
interest. He has attracted such
attention already to his field
that his articles and illustrations
command a high price from
some OF the northern publica-
lions in this field. Texas Fruits
is fortunate in being able to OBJ
tain for it's readers these articles
and illustrations.
