n OR the benefit OF those who do
not know what a capon is, /
win say that a eapon is an un-
sexed male bird Of the chicken family.
They should be unsexed or "capOn-
led when quite young. After being
caponized they continue to grow until
they are about is months OF age and
grow TO almost twice their normal size,
sometimes Weighing as much as il 10
Is pounds in the Plymouth Rocks, Orp-
intons or any of the large breeds.
Their flesh becomes very tender and
Juicy and is very appettztng. In con-
trast to ordinary fowls their flesh be-
comes more appetizing as they grow
older until they are IS to "A months
old.
In some of the eastern markets they
are very much in demand, often bring
ing from to 10 cents per pound more
than turkeys.
They usually make the best of moth
ers. and it is quite queer sight to see
one of them lowering and caring Tor
bunch of baby chicks and doing IS well
or even better than "Biddy-
I know of only one person In this
section of the country who does any
capOnizing. and that is John SalOpek'
of Government Hill. He has been ca
ponfzing his cOckerels for the past three
years When he commenced, he had
the greatest of difficulty to find Gus
toners, but now his difficulty is to
find capOnS for his customers
1t seems that IL would be advisable
for more poultrymen to try converting
all their surplus COckerels into capons.
A demand could certainly be produced
for all that could be raised in this To-
cality
They are said to be much more prof
table than cockerels. FOR they become
more quiet after being capOnized, re-
curing only about one-fourth as much
space and care as cOckerels Being
more quiet there is a greater gain per
pound of feed, and there is no loss from
fighting There is very little loss from
the operation.
Mr.. Salopek caponized over 100 cock
erels of his own this year, besides sew
eral hundred for other people, with
scarcely any loss. Practically the only
danger is in the operation, for should
the main artery be severed it would be
instant death to ,he bird. The opera
ton is so simple that anyone can per
form ii.
For the benefit of those who care
TO learn how to perform the operation
Mr. Salopek has promised to give
free demonstration at the poultry show
next week.

One Of the most important tasks that
Christian Endeavor faces today Is the
task Of awakening the young People
to sense of their responsibility. The
reason why some societies that once
did fine work are languishing is that
the work has been done too long by
the older members.
1t seems as If the rising generation
will not attempt much as long as their
elders are willing to do the work. The
young people feel unfit. They think
that they can do nothing. and they do
not even try to do the little they can.
The constant effort in every society
should be to feed its life from below
by drawing young and inexperienced
helpers into the ranks Of the totlers.
The various committees afford Us the
finest opportunity to do this.
Young people shrink naturally from
the responsibility Of service, especially
when older people stand ready to do
