SHERMAN The s1ANDPAFTER.

Tbs republican nominee for Vice
President, James S~choolcraft Sherman,
is q standpatter "frem away back"
He has been a member Of the House of
Representatives tor some twenty years,
a large part Of which period has been
employed in fighting tariff reform. He
and Dalzell, and Payne snd Cannon
have been regarded in tho light of the
big four in a strong anti reform COM
pact. He is understood to have been
satisfactory to the big tariff benefci-
aries as the tail of the kite. He and
the trusts and monopoliss get along
beautifully together, and he can be de-
pended on to use his influence and
efforts against tariff revision.
Judge,Taft announced himself some
months ago as favorable to revision,
and the plank, such as it il, with IN
after election string tied to 1t, went
in the platform. IT the next house IL

his utmost to block revision, and Sher-

in the event the republican prssiden-
tial ticket should succeed At the polls
in November. Dalze1l and Payne will
do the rest, and the republican pre-
tense of revision will be lost in the
shuttle as usual.
Mr.. Shermani is generally understood
to have been identified with the big
republican slush fund of the last cam
paign. He is regarded as an expert in
thatline,and no doubt willhavemoreo or
/ less connection in an advisory capacity

His nomination as Judge Tatt's run-
ming mate puts before the voters a mai

CAPONS.

The term caponizing is applied to
the removal of the organs of genera
ton from cockerels. This is done
when the chickens are two or three
months of age, after which they are
called capons. The operation makes
them docile and less active, thereby
promoting the fattening qualities and
giving a plump, sweet-favored fowl
that is highly priced for table pur-
poses. The fowls are usually selected
from the American or Asiatic breeds,
as the Rocks, the Reds, Brahmas and
Cochins. Capons from these varieties
often have more beautiful plumage
and generally sell for higher prices for
special table use than those fowls not
practised One needs steady hand
and a good light when doing this work
The fowls should be deprived of feed
and water a full day before the opera
ton.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-05-15
FARM POULTRY.

Poultry, as it exists on the average
farm, requires little care and expense,
for the feed used is largely that which
would otherwise be wasted, while the
labor is generally done at such time
and by such members of the family
that it does not interfere with other
farm work. Hence the income from
the farm poultry of the state is nearly
all profit.
To increase the earnings of chick
ems there are three lines of poultry
keeping which may be followed. One
is the production of standardized
chickens, which, for those who under
stand the breeding of high-scoring
specimens, is both fascinating and
profitable. A second line of poultry
work is the production of varieties
that shall excel in quality, rapid
growth and profitable fattening. This
work will be encouraged by the crate
fattening system that is being intro
duced into the east. The third line
of poultry work is breeding for in
creased egg production. This should
be the most important Of the three,
for the value of eggs sold in the state
is greater than that of the chickens
marketed. Breeding for egg produc-
ton is tedious work, but the gain de-
rived for producing better-laying
strains well pays for the efforts spent.

A FRESH EGG DEFINED.

The question, What constitutes a
fresh egg? was settled at the con-
Guiding session of the first congress
of the French Milk Industry and Dairy
Produce Societies, recently held In
Paris.
After lively discussion, joined in
by 200 members of the congress, the
following definition was agreed on:
ga fresh egg is an egg which, on
being tested, is found not to have
suffered in any way from evapora-
ton, and which shows no trace Of de-
composition"
