PROFIT MADE IN CAPONIZING
CHICKENS.
Increased Value of Birds Pays Well
for Time and Labor-Operation
Is Not Difficult.

AS a vast majority of poultry own
ers and growers are not professional
and keep the poultry incidentally and
in the main for the use of the family,
it is not surprising that so few poul-
try owners undertake to caponize the
cockerels. But if all poultry owners
were aware of the increase of profit
that capons pay over the ordinary
would learn how to perform the op
Grafton and caponize all the surplus
males every fall
Even it were done only to sup
ply the use of them on ones own ia
bic it would pay well, says writer in
an exchange As almost all farmers
themselves emasculate all their sur
plus boars and bull calves, and some
even the male colts, it is evident that
with little more skill they can emas-
culae the cockerels, and in most cases
can sell hem from half more up
to twice as much as the cockerels
would bring in the market.
As caponizing requires keen eye
and steady hand, as well as the spe-
cial tools for doing the work, it would
be we'll for one without experience, If
he can get the opportunity, to see
some one who is expert at the work
and then make few trials himself.
In order to make the job easier |
think il will be well TO etherize or
chloroform the chicken, so that it will
be absolutely still, However, if one
knows how to do the job and has he
tools it takes but little while. and
there is no reason to believe that the
suffering will be great.

FLESH IS MAIN POINT IN RAILS
ING HOGS.
Hogs Exposed to the Hot Sunshine
Day in and Day Out During the
Summer Lose Much Flesh.

1t is true that warm water is just as
wet as cool water, but it is not SO
palatable, and the hogs will thrive
better if they have cool drink at
least twice a day. Water should al
ways be within reach
Hogs exposed to the hot sunshine
day in and day out during the summer
will lose much of the gains they make,
even though the clover fields be of
the finest
The main and only point in raising
hogs is to produce flesh that will bring
the most money, and every little thing
that will work toward this end should
be put in operation.
No farmer that continually stuffs
his breeding sows with corn can hope
to secure the best pigs. Breeding
stock requires more clover, bran, al
falfa and corn.
The short-nosed hog is always to be
desired against the long, slender faced
type.
The SOW should be long bodied and
the boar short
1t has always been disputed ques-
ton as to whether hog gain any
thing by roofing. Even if he doesn't
he has plenty of time to spare, and
roofing will cretainly not hurt him to
and decided extent.
When a pigs tail curls up in a
crispy, tight sort of way, it is sigr
he feels good, and is thriving. 1t it
doesn't, he needs something to brace
him up
Some farmers cut off the tails of
their pigs, because they claim it takes
ten ears of corn to raise one tail;
therefore, they amputate, in the inter
est of economy.
ideals of perfection cannot succeed
unless he keeps an active record Of
his breeding operations He needs Il
blank book for the purpose, and must
pay the most careful attention to en-
tries.
An armful of green cornstalks will
add relish to he hogs ration, but it
should not be fed regularly until the
corn in the ear has hardened beyond
the possibility of frost.
Do you know anything around the
farm that will run into money faster
than hogs?

EXERCISE AND FEED FOR
YOUNG COLTS.
Animals Cannot Be Kept in Good
Condition When Given Nothing
But Dry Feed.

We should allow our young colts
more exercise and feed them smaller
quantities of hay during the time they
are kept on winter rations of dry
fed. By feeding smaller quantities of
hay and allowing tn I'm tc exercise
freely they will develop more uni
formly and come through the winter
in much better form and flesh con
dition.
Young colts that are put in the stall
and given all the hay they will eat
soon become pot-bellied, their hair
grows longer and harsher and some
of it stands the wrong way.
We cannot feed colts on dry feed
and keep them looking well; that is,
as well as they did when running
with their dams and having plenty of
green grass and milk, but by feed
ing them choice hay and a liberal
amount of clean grain foods we can
obtain a more uniform development
and bring them through the winter
in much better condition. Pot-bellied
colts tell the story of improper feed
ing, slow growth and development,
while the colt that keeps its baby
fat and form we'll during the first
year tells the story of skillful feeding
and fine growth.
Another important point to keep
in mind while feeding young colts IS
to keep the managers neat and clean
and not compel them to pick over
old hay and spoiled grain foods.

KEEP WORK HORSES IN BARN
Animals Do Better When Kept in Sta
BILE at Night Instead of Being
Turned INTO Pasture.

Horses that are working hard will
not do as we'll when turned out to
pasture at night As when kept i'll and
fed regularly on dry feed They are
not as apt to rest us well in the pas
ture as in good barn, and the green
feed they get at night may result in
digestive disturbances, collie and
scours. CRASHED horses cannot stand
as hard work as .nc dry red horse
for the dry feeds are the ones which
build the muscle for the horse.
Along later in the fall the fall pas
ture will not hurt, especially for the
young colts and the brood mares.
If you must feed corn to the work
horses give them something else in
the grain ration Corn alone is not
a good feed, as it is too fattening
A combination of corn, bran and a
little oil meal makes an ideal summer
ration for horses if you are short on
oats. A 1,000-pound horse would re-
quire about ten pounds of corn and
three pounds of bran with little oil
meal per day. This will be equivalent
to fourteen pounds of oats.

SOIL ROBBING is IMMORAL.
Poverty and Soil Ills Go With Wear
out of Land-French and Bel
gixs Farmers Prosper.

No nation ever has survived, nor
can survie, the decline of its agricul-
ture. The decline of the Roman re
public began when its farmers moved
to town and had their lands cult
waited by slaves. France and Belgium
prosper because they are nations OF
small farmers. who cultivate their land

ing its almost lyimitless resources,
can scarcely feed its own people much
longer.
We need not go ia rto see the i'm
morality of soil robbing, says Wal
lace's Farmer If farm in any To-
cality becomes worn out, even though
that wearing out be little more than
he exhaustion of the humus materials
in he soil, it must expect to have a
poor tenant. For good tenant, who
understands his business, will not
waste his time farming worn out land
lie may undertake to restore 1t; but
il he is wise, it will be done at the
expense of the owner.
The rule, as illustrated in thousands
of instances, is that the poorer ten
ants get the poorer land. Having poor
land they must continue to be poor,
which means that they lose standing
in the community. They are not able
to educate their children; they are not
able to live as other farmers live.
When this becomes general IN any
township it means that the schools III
that township are poor. 1t means hat
the churches dwindle in membership,
ard finally pass out. 1t means that
immortality becomes common even III
the sports o the young people 1t
means in short, lack of social inilu-
erce and of political influence on the
part of the farmers. These are the
penalties for soil robbing, which ma
ture imposes with absolute certainty
and unfailing accuracy.

DAT HAY FOR YOUNG COLTS.
Cost of Threshing is Saved and All
Animals Like It-Fits
in Rotation.

1t is often matter of wonder why
crop should handle ii in any other
way than as hay The cost OF thresh
ing is saved by handling the crop in
this way. and all animals are fond of
it and thrive upon it. While oats IS
not so good on the soil as some OF
the legumes, it fits well into the ro-
tation and makes one of the best
cereal hay crops, says the Western
Farmer.
If it is intended to feed them from
the sheaf, they should be cut several
DAYS earlier than when they are to
be threshed. The grain will be prac-
tically as good as later and the rest
of the plant will be a good deal more
palatable and more digestible. The
later cutting gives more woody
straw, and some loss from SCATTERING
of the grain. If one has plenty OF
storage room the bundles can be piled
away unutT cover do sum 40 Gum
cientlv cured. Or, if a good job OF
stacking can be done, oats will keep
outdoors until the following spring
with very little loss with either grain
or straw. When oats are to be cut
with a mower they should be cut
earlier than when they are to be bound
into sheaves. just after the milk stage
is the best time in this case. 1t Is
necessary to give moved oats room
in the barn, for it is difficult to stack
them so they will keep. If 1t is at
tempted to stack the oats hay out
doors it should be covered.
Horses and young colts find hay OF
this kind we'll suited to their needs,
and number of leading attle-grow
ers have been using it for several
wears and find it entirely satisfactory.
The cattle men salt the hay in the
stack and find that the cattle eat 1t
all and do we'll on it. 1t is also a good
dairy feed, combining grain and
roughness and furnishing variety IN
the ration.

Best Soil for Alfalfa.

Alfalfa seems to do best on sandy
loan soils that have a good supply of
plant food and are well drained,
though it has been known to have
grown oil heavy clay soil 1t will do
well on any soil hat will produce
wheat or corn. The field designed
for alfalfa should be selected with
the view of leaving it for several
years. The plant seems to reach its
prime in four years and can, as a
rule, be left in a field prohtably for
seven or eight years No difficulty
is exper enced in getting alflfa out of
the field, if it is so desired, if field
of it is plowed in midsummer nd kept
well cultivated.

ACTIVE ENEMY OF INJURIOUS
INSECTS.
Grosbeaks Deserve Protection of Ev-
cry Practical Farmer for Their
Good Work.

Present Investigations prove that
the services of grosbeaks iii destroy
ing insect pests are invaluable. Each
kind pays special attention to certain
pests which if unchecked would cause
enormous losses. Few of our birds
are to be credited with more good and
with fewer evil deeds than the gros
beak, and none more clearly deserve
protection by the practical farmer.
A real friend of the farmer is the
rose breasted grosbeak. This bird Wig
OF ously attacks cucumber beetles and
many of the scale insects. 1t proved
an active enemy OF the Rocky Noun
tain locust during that insects ruin
Gus invasions, and among the other
pests it consumes are the spring and
fall cankerworms, orchard and forest
tent caterpillars, tussock, gypsy and
brow-tal moths, plum curculio, army
worm and chinch bug. In fact, not
one of our birds has better record.
The rosebreast attacks the worst enc
mics of agriculture, making them its
favorte prey, and time after time It
has rendered valuable aid in check
ing their destructive infestatons.
These grosbeaks are permanent resi-
dents, spending the summer and win
ter in the same locality. 1t has been
claimed that they pull sprouting grain,
but no evidence of damage to cher
grain or other crops is afforded by the
examination of more than 500 stom-
aches On the oher hand, the evidence
is ample that they do much good. The
redbird is known to feed on the Rocky
Mountain locust, periodical cicada and
Colorado potato beetle.
During parts of the season 1t is
thought by some farmers that this
bird is destructive to early fruit and
attacks also green peas and beans.
However, since by proper precautions
such losses may be minimumized or al
together prevented. they should not
be given too much weight i'll estimat
ing the value OF the bird.
