POTATOES AS
STOCK FOOD
When Properly Fed They Are
Nutritious and Very Fatten-
ing for Both Cattle
and Sheep.
(BY w. r. CELEBRITY

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When the potatoes are withdrawn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 1t I'm
again.
When potatoes are diseased It Is
the albuminoids 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 AZ
nfting time they may be cooked and

Il PAYS to Caponize.


A capon bears the same relation to
rooster as steer to bull, and as
bull meat is not equal to steer meat,
so are ROSTERS not equal to capons.
When cockerels become caponn 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.
II cock weighs ten pounds a capon
will weigh Is and bring three to four
times the price, $125 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 $3.50
and only ordinary skill is required
With a little practice the operation
can be quickly and safely performed
For caponizing, cockerels must be
less than six weeks old and weigh a
pound or more.
