Ii Paws to Caponjze

A capon bears the same relation to
a rooster as steer to bull, and as
bull meat is not equal to steer meat,
so are roosters not equal to capons
When cockerels become capons they
cease to grow combs and wattles, do
not crow and fight, grow much faster
and finer flesh and bring more money
than ordinary chickens.
If cock weighs ten pounds a capon
will weigh Is and Dring three to four
times the price, s125 often being paid
for 100 capons.
1t certainly pays to caponize surplus
cockerels. A set of tools, with full in
structions for using, costs about 81 so
and only ordinary skill is required
With little practice the operation
can be quickly and safely performed.
For caponizing, cockerels must be
less thar six weeks old and weigh a
pound or more.

POTATOES AS
STOCK FOOD
When Properly Fed They Are

ing for Both Cattle
and Sheep.
CBY w. r. GILBERT)

Potatoes owe their food value prin-
cipally to their high proportion of car
bohydrates, which are found in pota-
toes in the form of starch.
They contain nearly three times the
quantity of carbohydrates found in an
equal weight of turnips
Potatoes vary good deal in COM
position, not only as regards different
varieties, but as regards the same va
riety grown on different soils.
Potatoes grown on strong soil con-
tain more albuminoids than those
from light land.
When they are of this composition
they are firm when cooked, and are
said to have bone in them" These
are the most nutritious class of pota-
toes.
Potatoes are more suitable for feed
ing pigs than for any other kind of
stock.
Their high proportion of starch
makes it necessary to mix them with
food of more albuminoid and fibrous
character when given to cattle and
horses
Unless they are mixed with such
food they are liable to produce collie;
but when fed in proper mixture there
is no more fattening food grown on
the farm than potatoes
When the potatoes are withdrawn
the cattle lose in condition at once
and take some time to make it up
again.
When potatoes are diseased it is
the albumin0lds that decay. The
starch remains unchanged, and if the
decay has not gone too far potatoes
that are diseased may be used for
stock feeding, but such potatoes
should never be fed raw.
If large number of potatoes are
found to be touched with disease at
lifting time they may be cooked, and

Breaking Colts,

A good way to begin to break a colt
is to make a stall for it and tie and
feed it in the stall daily. Feeding
while you handle the young animal is
one of the very best ways of winning
its confidence. Use an extra heavy
halter on the colt from the first. If it
early learns that it cannot break a
halter it will go through life with that
delusion, much to the profit of the
owner.

stan] and did not leave it until court
adjourned the case until September q.
Michael J.. Tanse, counsel for n of the
creditors, examined the witness. He
endeavored to make Mr.. Maybaum ex-
plain why he drew more than 10000

Germs involved in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. The three stores are the
S. Maybaum Food Company of Wash
ington Market, this city; ID. e. Bren-

the stock and drew cash for his per-
sonal account from the three stores in
volved. The Morristown and Mont
clair stores are now in the hands Of

Justice Bergen. in which he holds hat
a Justice of the peace has no jurisdic-

by an attack upon the law of 1908 on
the ground that it vas unconstitu-

diction of the justices of the peace ju-
risdiction in civil suits within a munic-
ipality or district in which a district

attacked in the suit in which Michael

When the suit was brought Benson
informed the New Brunswick justice

the same time filed in writing an OBJ
lection to the Justice of the peace try

not have jurisdiction. The justice of

then Benson demanded a trial by jury,
and the case resulted in a judgment
being given against Benson.
