cAPoNIZING.

AS time advances the advantages OF
caponizing are being better under.
stood, and caponizing is now practiced
by many progressive raisers of poul-
try. The result is much larger fowl,
OF sweeter meat, which in consequence
sells at considerably higher price.
The poultryman who makes a spe-
cial business of raising capOns should
be on the lookout for young cockerels
which he desires to caponiZe. Chicks
Matched early will soon be old enough
to caponiZe-ten to twelve weeks being
the proper age. OF course, some birds
are larger at that age than others,
and the breeder must use Judgment in
making his selection.
After caponizing separate them from
the other fowls. Being quiet in dis
position and less quarrelsome than
cockerels they can be kept in larger
numbers in one pen, but should not be
crowded. Keep their quarters clean,
give them a good range, and feed
once day, at night, and simply keep
them thrifty and growing. Do not
attempt to fatten them until they are
almost ready for market.
Capons sell for more than the ordi-
nary IOWl anu Cuo pOulCiy ihdu WIN hoo
any time at all on his hands will do
we'll to learn the art of caponizing and
instead of culling out the young cock
erels, caponize them, keep them sepa-
rate from the other fowls and thereby
realize a large profit from them.
With the perfect instruments, now
at the command of the operator, and
with a little practice, this operation
can be performed in less than two
minutes, and therefore very little can
be said on the score Of cruelty, espe-
ciaHy If compared with the castrating
of calves, colts, lambs or pigs.
Have a narrow table, box, or barrel
so that you can move 1t around and get
the sun on the fowl in any position
you wish, as good light is essential
and of great assistance to the begin
ner.
Lay the fowl upon it's left side, take
one of the cords, fold it in the middle,
and with slip loop wrap 1t twice
around the birds legs above the knees
with one wrap only, he will be liable
to kick himself out of the loop) the
other cord slip once around the wings

LEGHoRNs TO FAIRBANKS.

The largest single shipment of live
chickens ever sent into Alaska went
out on the steamship Northwestern.
The shipment consisted of 1900 live
birds, most of which are White and
Brown Leghorn hens. The chickens
were placed in thirty-seven coops. The
birds are to be shipped to Fairbanks
and it will take twenty-twol days be-
fore they arrive. ]. R. Chambers, the
owner, will accompany the chickens
to their destination. The freight on
the lot amounted to about $500, and
it will take three tons of grain to
feed the chickens on the long trip
North.
Mr.. Chambers took in a shipment of
about 1000 chickens last season to
Fairbanks, and the venture was SO sue
cessful that he has undertaken the
same thing this year on larger scale.
Only few of the birds died last year,
and they found quick sale in the far
North among those who desire to go
into the chicken business. Live chick
ems are frequently shipped to South
eastern Alaska, but it is only Occa-
sionally that they are shipped to Fanr-
banks.

attaching a weight, which may be
half brick or anything else that is
handy, to the free ends of each cord,
which are provided with hooks for
this purpose.
Wet the birds side and feathers with
cold water to prevent bleeding, and to
make the feathers stay where you
want them, after you have twisted
them under and out of the way.
Now pull the flesh on the side down
toward the hip SO that>when the OPP
Grafton is finished the hole between
the ribs will be closed by the skin
going back to its natural place and
as the opening in the skin will then
be about p of an inch, above that
between the ribs, the wound will heal
up in at most couple of days.
The incision should always be made
between the first and second rib.
When ready to cut, push point of
the knife in quickly Il of an inch,
hold it there few seconds until the
fowl is quiet again, as he will work
mis- ribs up and down as the incisiOn
is made. Now increase the cut IN
inches in length, lay down the knife,
keeping the skin in place with the left
hand, and according to the set of in
struments you are using proceed as
per special instructions, printed with
each of the various caponizing sets.

LICE AND MITES.

Under the head of insect Pests"
Farmers Bulletin 287, United States
Department of Agriculture, entitled
Poultry Management" says:
Two classes of external parasites,
popularity known as lice and mites,
will be considered here. There are
several varieties of lice which attack
poultry. They subsist mainly on the
feathers and perhaps on the epidermic
scales. They are found largely on the
head and neck, under the wings
and about the vent, and when
present in large numbers they
cause the fowls much discom-
fort Persian insect powder (py-
rethrum), powdered sulphur and
some of the various preparations on
the market, such as the louise powders,
are good in combating these pests
The hens can be busted with one of
these powders after they have gone to
roost Have the powder in box with
a perforated cover, grasp the fowl by
the legs, and shake the powder we'll
among the feathers. Dust at least
three times at intervals of about a
week in order to catch the lice which
udCCn OuC dICCi C&iC ioI uuoIAhS'
The mites subsist on the blood of
the fowls and are not usually found
on the bodies of the bird except when
at roost or on the nest. During the
day they inhabit cracks and crevices
of the walls, roosts and nests. Sitting
hens are often SO annoyed that they
are compelled to leave the nests in
order to relieve themselvs of these
parasites. The free use of kerosene
about the nests and perches is useful
in fighting mites. The walls of the
house may be sprayed with kerosene,
the operation being repeated every
three or four days for two weeks. In
sect powders are of little avail.
The following method has proved
excellent in Kidding houses Of mites
and lice when the weather conditions
are such as to permit the birds being
kept outside the house for five or six
hours. Close all the doors and see
that there are no cracks or any other
openings to admit air. Get an iron
vessel and set it on gravel or sand
near the center of the house; place
handful of shavings on these, sprinkle
sulphur at the rate of one pound to
every 80 to 100 square feet OF floor
space. Instead of using the shavings
and kerosene the sulphur can be sat
urated with wood alcohol. When every
thing else is in readiness light the ma
terial and hastily leave the house. In

AS in the making of
baskets, so also in the
making of pottery, women
are the chief artisans.
They search for clay of
suitable quality, carry it
to the water pools, mix
and mold it, fashion the
vessels, decorate them,
fire the adobe ovens, and
depend upon their own
judgment as to when
their wares have been
sufficiently tempered. But
the men, too, have their
part in the conduct of the
industry. They are gen.
orally the peddlers, that
lie in wait for the trav-
eler with money in his
pocket, or that bargain
with the agents of the
dealers; but whether they
or t h e ir industrious
wives make the sales, it
is the men that spend
most of the money.
Practically all the
tribes of the Southwest
make pottery, but the
workmanship of most of
them is very crude, the
materials carelessly Sc
lected, the pigments
roughly applied, and
flaws CLOSED over or
passed by as a matter of
course. Perhaps 1t is
only natural that this
carelessness should pre-
vail in the production of
articles so perishable and
so liable to accident.
However, the Hopi In
dams of Arizona manu-
facture ceramics as deli
cately colored as a peach

with mud. Not content with living in basket
house, the Havasupai carries his water in basket
pail. 1t is but rarely that his bucket leaks.
The designs employed in basket making not
accidental nor do they represent the artistic con-
ceptions of the makers. The number of patterns
used by the workers of tribe is limited, and each
has definite, MISUNDERSTOOD, traditional mean
ing The cobweb pattern, common to nearly all the
tribes, and used only on the baskets of the finer
grades, is seen only on vessels intended for
mon1al uses. The deer hunt so frequently rep
resented in the basketry of the Pimas, marks a
basket dedicated to the gods of the chase. Even
apparent defects are present by design. Many an
intending purchaser has objected to basket of
faultless workmanship because of a pattern that
ran entirely around it failing to join perfectly at
one point, supposing that the opening due to
a mistake miscalcuation of the weaver In
reality the opening was left purposely that the
evil spirits might find place of exit and not be
confined to work harm to the possessor of the bas-
ket
Next to the basket in point of time of develop
ment came the evolution of pottery. This is not
guesswork, but to be we'll established by
the Investigations of Frank Cushing among the
Havasupais. 1t is the custom of these Indians to
roast certain articles of food by putting them in
basket made for that purpose, together with some
red hot Goals The roasting is accomplished by
tw1rling the basket keeping the contents in
slant notion SO that the food may not be scorched
by too long contact with the glowing embers
The cook" keeps the Goals hot by blowing into the
basket To become an accomplished chef, after
this fashion, requires long practice and constant
watchfulness. To prevent the fbers of the bas-
ket from scorching catching fire, it is customary
to line 1t with clay. In course of time the clay
becomes baked hard, and may be removed from
the basket entire, forming perfect mold of the
interior. Here is object lesson of the evolu-
ton of the pot from the basket. The hint must
have impressed itself upon the dull wit of the cave
men ages ago, vessels and fragments of pottery
have been excavated from prehistoric ruins that
show beyond the possibility of mistake the print
of every fiber of the baskets in which they were

pottery is made is Santa Clara, the Denver and
Rio Grande, where attractive red and lustrous
black wares made in large quantities.
Most recent of the aboriginal industries of i'm
portance is blanket weaving. Strictly speaking,
this had its beginning after the Spanish invasion,
three and half centuries ago, providing the abo-
rhymes with abundant textile materials by the In
PRODUCTION of sheep and goats. Nevertheless, ages
before that time the kindred arts of weaving and
plating were practiced, the pumage of birds, the
fur of rabbits, the fibers produced by the cotton
wood tree, and many native grasses and fbrous
plants being utilized for the making of articles of
apparel and decoration. Specimens of the Feather
cloth" of the Aztecs, secured by Cortez and his
lieutenants, are still preserved among the royal
treasures of Spain, and similar fabrics have been
exhumed from the cliff dwellings of New Mexico,
Arizona and Southwestern Colorado. Familiar as
the aborigines were with the loom and the prin-
ciples of weaving, 1t Is not strange that they
seized eagerly upon the materials provided by the
introduction of sheep and goats 1t is strange how
ever, that the nomadic Navajos developed blanket
weaving to perfection never even remotely ap-
proximated by the sedentary Hopi and Zuni tribes
from whom they learned it. The Hopi and Zuni
are still classed as blanket weavers, but they
make but few preferring to obtain by barter or
purchase the superior articles manufactured by
the Navajos They do, however manufacture
BELTS ceremonial robes and similar articles of
small size.
The first blankets by the Navajos from
materials secured from the white invaders are
known as the Serape Navajo blankets. The ma
terial used was the hard-twisted threads of the
bayeta cloth cloaks worn by the Spanish soldiers
There was but one way of getting the bayeta CLOTH
That was to kill the wearer and steal his cloak
This method suited the Bedouin of the desert ex
acty. Then the strands of the cloak were care
fully raveled and woven by the squaws into blank
cts to suit the taste of the warriors Every Serape
Navajo blanket therefore, cost life. They are
now almost priceless as none have been made for

blow vase, decorated with

ing. Many of their
plaques are worthy orna-
ments of the finest
homes, although they do
not as yet command a
price in keeping with
their beauty and excel
lence. The Pueblo In
dams of Acoma also
make handsome and ar
tistic ollas, or water jars,
and other wares of a sim
liar nature, although
they have nothing at all
worthy of comparison
with the ceramics of the
Hopi women. At La

similar objects are ped
died to tourists on pass
ing trains, at prices rang
ing from ten cents each
up to a dollar. They are
inartistic and fragile,
possessing no value save
as real souvenirs Of the
Southwestern aborigines.
In the homes of the ped
dlers may be found wares
of very superior work
manship. The Indians
seem to have arrived at
the conclusion long ago
reached by proprietors OF
the curio stores, that any
thing is good enough for
the tourists, because they
know no better anyway.
