LET TEE BOYS RAISE THE cAPoNs.

Instead OF allowing the cockerels on
the place to grow into old ROSTERS before
being sold they should be caponized and
their value fairly doubled by this meth
cd. It is very little trouble to caponize
a bird and with a little practice bright
boy will operate upon so to 10 birds in
a single day.
II capons are sold when weighing from
five to six pounds they will bring in
any good market from 20 to p cents per
pound. Indeed, it is a poor capon tina.
will not bring a round dollar to the
producer while a rooster weighing seven
or eight pounds will bring no more.
The best prices that old roosters bring
are around cents and to get this they
must be fattened about twice as long as
1t requires to bring a capon to fine
market condition.
IT is not much Of a trick to bring ca
pons to ten pounds at which weight they
will sell at from $50 to 81 each. But,
IL is a question whether IL is advisable
to feed them long enough to bring them
to this weight. Most capon raisers find II
more profitable to sell their birds from
FIVE to seven pounds and a bird that
is really fat and plump at that weight is
a highly priced delicacy.

POULTRY MANURE PRESERVATION
By RODNEY Nd. WEST.

Fresh poultry manure has approx
tie manure, if a comparison of the two
content The heterogeneous compounds
contained in poultry manure, however
are very unstable. and decomposed
readily into ammonia and volatile am
monium compounds. Consequently, I'M
less proper care is taken, large quanti-
ties of nitrogen, which might be used
for fertilizing, are lost.
Several methods have been suggested
for retaining this nitrogen. They consist
In mixing with the exrement either an
absorbing substance or an acid COM
pound which will chemically combine
with the ammonia as fats as formed.
Experience has shown that poultry
manure, untreated, as we'll as that mixed
with sawdust, lost half of it's nitrogen
in the course of six months. Where the
manure was stored with half of it's
weight of gypsum Gland plaster) it lost
a third, while that mixed with an equal
weight of gypsum and about one-f1fth
of it's weight of sawdust retained all of
the original nitrogen. Equally good re-
suits were obtained by using from one
third to one-fourth of the weight of the
manure of either kainite or acid phos-
phate.
From the standpoint of the mechani-
cal condition, the mixture with land
plaster gives the least desirable product,
although the addition of sawdust aids
materially in preventing the formation
OF hard cakes.
When the manure is to be kept only a
few days before applying, good results

How to Get Rid
of CatarFh
A Simple Safe, Reliable Way,
and It Costs Nothing To Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know its
miseries. There is no need Of this suffer-
ing. You can get rid of 1t by a simple
safe, inexpensive home treatment dis
covered by DR.. Blosser, who, for over
thirty-six years, has been treating ca
tarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. II
is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any of these. 1t
cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again breathe free
ly and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.
1t heals the diseased mucous membranes
and arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting. and at the same time
It does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment with
out cost, send your address to DR.. ]. w.

DAIRY cow GAINS GREATLY IN
VALUE.
BY B. H. RAWL.

BY B. H. RAWL.
There has been a wonderful advance
in the quality of dairying cattle during
the last few years.
The various breeds are improving and
there are more big records now than
ever before. Splendid records were made
during the worlds fair in Chicago, but
the succeeding generation of cows did
much better at the St. Louis exposition.
We have a number of cows today that
can do better than the holders of old
time records that stood for years.
The present system of test records is
the cause of most of the recent develop
ment We have the ring show, where
the animals are judged on appearance,
and in addition there are the yearly
records that tell the productive capacity
of the cow. The cow of today is far SUI
perior to the animal of the same breed
20 or 80 years ago as her capacity and
effectiveness are much greater. Without
the use of the accurate records many a
dairyman would be deceived regarding
the value of his cows. By means of
records we are able to weed out the
poorer individuals of the different breeds
and the result is becoming apparent with
remarkable rapidity.
One of the most important features of
modern dairying is the building up of
herds by crossing with highly productive
stock. Grade cows, or those that are
partly of high class stock. are exceed
ingly valuable as producers The i'm
provement in dairy conditions has been
gradual, but not nearly as rapid as we
wish Some of the dairymen have not
taken advantage of what is now within
easy reach. There is still much room
for Improvement in general conditions.

THE FOOD VALUE OF SKIM MILK.

Freshness and cleanliness must be
considered as well as composition. MIX
which has been received from the milk
man and allowed to stand long enough
TO skim should probably never be given
to children under two years OF age. For
older people the mere fact of its being
old need not be taken into .considera-
ton. II skim milk is bought as such,
however, il should always be thoroughly
cooked, unless it is known to have been
handled carefully and to be clean.
Skim milk seems to some people rath-
er thin for use as a beverage, but 9th ers
value IL for this very quality. If 1T is
allowed to stand until it sours and is
then churned or beaten until the curd
is broken up into small particles, 1t
makes a familiar and wholesome drink,
often used under the name Of butter
milk, for much of the commercial but
termilk is thus made from skim milk
some cream or butter fat being some
times added. For cooking, the lack of
tat and any consequent lack of flavor
can be easily made up, as butter or less
expensive fats can be used with 1t.
Pork and bacon fat make a particularly
savory addition.
In the very interesting experiment
of serving penny lunches TO anemic
children in the Boston schools, one Of
the combinations of food that it was
found possible to sell for the low price
of l cent was SKINNED milk and bread
and butter.
Though not much different in nutri-
tive value, buttermilk obtained as by
product in butter making has differ
emit quality or texture and different
flavor from so-called skim milk butter

BIG APPLE CROP.

An authority on the apple situation in
the Pacific northwest writes as follows:
1 visited an orchard at Dumas, Wash,
comprising 100 acres of apple trees about
u years old. from which they expect to
ship 100 cars OF first class apples this
year. At the present price of apples this
orchard will net the owners in the neigh
borhood OF $4,000 this year.

pies. This is only one OF many such
orchards IN my district. At Hood River,

FERNS FOR THE LIVING ROOM.

If your room is heated with hot wa
ter you can grow ferns in IL that WOULD
soon die if kept in a room heated by
steam, or hot air, or a wood fire. For
such a room 1 would advise Whitman's S,
one of the most beautiful varieties of
recent introduction.
1t is a sport from the old Boston
Fern. 1t has shorter fronds than that
variety, but ,ney are broader, and the
leaflets on them are developed into
miniature fronds, thus making it d
most graceful plant, when well grown.
It's fronds have a plume-like effect
that make fine specimen of it one of
the most ornamental of all decorative
plants.
Give it soil of leaf mold, or turfy
matter, keep il we'll watered, and out
of the sunshine, and it will do we'll in
rooms where the heat is not intense
and dry. 1 would not advise trying to
grow it under other conditions.
Perhaps the most satisfactory fern,
all things considered, for the amateur
florist. is the good old Boston sort
This does well in almost all places if
frequently showered.

water constantly evaporating on stoves

fear # injury from over watering
Best results are secured by keeping
the plant at some distance from the

means, but far enough from the glass
to allow the fronds to spread and
droop gracefully in their efforts to Sc
cure the benefit Of the light. 1t Is

may be obtained with dry loan or peat
as an absorbent.
The absorbent used should be sprinkled
daily, in the required quantity, on the
floor of the hen-house; from which, in
combination with the excrement, it may
be removed when desired.
The difficulties experienced in spread
ing poultry manure. on account of its
sticky consistency, may be obviated by
mixing with loan, peat or common stable
manure. For economical use, it should
be spread in relatively smaller amounts
than other manures.
The admixture of lime or wood ashes
is not advised, since decomposition Is
sufficiently rapid without their use.
1t should be borne in mind that each OF
the absorbents suggested is in itself OF
value as a fertilizer; the least valuable
being sawdust. Consequently the re-
quirements of the soil SHOULD govern to
some extent the choice of the absorbent
used.

him to get stomach full of Ice cold
water; or stuffing him full of grain be-
fore he thoroughly cools off. After giving
him a few swallows of moderately cool
water, he should be given a little gentle

given a good draught of water, followed

If you will give five drops of crude car

acid mixed with food. We don't let
them have anything else until they eat up
