PROFIT in CAPONS
Little Trouble to Average Farmer
to Raise 100 to 200.
FcwIs Always Retain That Sweetness
and Juiciress Of Flesh That Is Char
acteris,ic Of Spring Chicken
Reason They Bring Price.
NV MILLER puRNlS.)

No one is better situated TO RAISE
capons than ;hc farmer. On the aver
age farm the additional work required
10 raise from 100 to zee Capons Would
not be noticed, and the most OF TINS
work can be attended to In the winter
when time is plentiful with the farmer.
In the u~cighborhood of Fairbury, Ill.,
a great many CapOnS are raised every
year and are found to be very prolI-
able. There are many stories tolu
about the size to which CapOnS grow
while the truth is that the ordinary
canon will grow to but one or two
pounds more than the ordinary I'M
caponized cockerel would in the same
time. and to secure this additional
weight extra feeding IS necessary.
In preparation for CapOn raising II
Is wise to hatch about twice the nun-
Der Of chickens as Capons dcsifed, iof
July half are likely to be pullets. Inc
pullctS may be kept for egg productloh
or may be sold for spring CHICKENS
thus securing enough money to pay Tor
raising the whole flock up to the time
the cockerels are old enough to capon'
ize, which is about twelve weeks.
The operation of %caponizing does not
require much skill, although the begin
ner will probably kill two or three al
the start, which will not be lost, Tor
they bleed to death In about the same
time as ii their threats had been cut
and are exactly as good for table pur
poses as If bled in the latter way. A
set of tools for %caponizing costs from
$3.50 to 81, and with each set is sent
directions that anyone can follow.
After the caponizing the cockerelS
become docile and quiet; they lose am
bition and their combs cease to grow;
in fact, they shrivel, and when fec
they eat their fill and sit quietly
around until feeding time again
Capons always retain that sweetness
and juiciness of flesh that is character
lstic of the spring chicken, the reason
they bring such a high price. They are
fed much as other fowls would be
only eating more. About all they ca
goes to the formation Of juicy, palata
BILE flesh.
A few years ago capons commanded
hardly any attention in the west ant
do not yet bring the prices they DO II
the eastern cities. BY the last O
March good capons sell readily in Chi
cago at II cents per pound, as agalns
II cents for dressed chickens. AS TIT
average Plymouth Rock capon vii
weigh seven or eight pounds, it will b.
seen that the capon sells for from II
to 80 cents more than the chicken o
the same age, and the difference IL TIKI
cost of raising is insignificant. Tht
writer has known of a flock of 4O'
capons that cleared nearly n dolla
each. However, these were extras
sold in Philadelphia, the creates
capon market in the country.

The Lost Chords.

The village concert was to be a
great affair. They had the singers,
they had the program sellers, they
had the d~oorkeepers and they would
doubtless have the audience. All they
needed was the piano, but that they
lacked. Nor could they procure one
anywhere.
At last the village organist learned
that one was possessed by Farmer
Hayseed, who lived lat the top O the
ILL.," Forthwith he set out with two
men and a van.
Take it, an welcome,' said Hay
seed cordially. i've no objections

demand for peanuts for use IN the

of the peanut are now being EN-

of feeds for farm stock and dairy

The peanut IS rapidly becoming an
important farm crop throughout the
southern states. It's vines are val

not marketable can be used for Iced

peanut is rapidly becoming OF I'M

COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor
NOUS Proportions Within a Few
Years.

The production OF oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time Of its discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of %avarice.
1t remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes Of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped In the Wild
eating operations Of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts or
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.

Fungi Destroyer.

Scientists have long believed that
some form of sulphur other than the
copper sulphate would destroy fungi
without injury to the fruit and vege'
tables, says The Stockman. This past
season experiments were made with
self-boiled lime sulphur, ETC., and each
experimenter advocates most strongly
his own preparation. We believe
that the most promising of these prep.
arations was experimental with last
year under the name of "Sulfocide,"
containing actually between 20 and
80 per cent. of sulphur in solution. ad.
hitting of a great %dilution; and in
every instance where tried as a sub.
stitute for bordeaux mixture, it has
far surpassed it In effectiveness with
no injury. Whether 1t can be used
on peach and plum will be a matter
of future experiment, but the fact
that with less trouble and expense 1t
can be used where bordeaux has been
the only remedy is very encouraging,
and makes it worthy Of a trial.

BLISTER CANKER OF APPLE
Disease Usually Found on Larger
Limbs and Sometimes Attacks
Trunk-Method Of Treat
ment.

This disease is usually found on the
larger limbs, and sometimes attacks
the trunk. Old cankers are often a
foot or more in length. The fungus
attacks the wood as well as the bark.
In the early stages of the disease the
bark is brown and slightly sunken
and usually set off from the healthy
bark by a distinct boundary. AS the
season advances circular fungous
masses develop on the diseased area.
They are formed beneath the bark,
but soon break through to the sur
face, furnishing the most character
lstic feature of the disease. They
are firmly fastened to the wood by
means of a hard ring of fungous It's
sue, so that they remain attached to
It even after the bark has fallen away.

unflatterinq Truth.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. Inc
five children Of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the i%mprovised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we were aWfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em out awful far"

Summer spores are produced on the
surface of the stroma. Later In the
season, numerous fask-shaped per-
ithecia are formed within the stroma,
but opening on its surface. These
produce many club-shaped sacs, each
containing eight spherical, brown
spores.

upon wounds for entrance to the host
