The Washington times., 1914-05-15

A new auditing system Of the
Postoffice Department, and certain
machines used in combination with
piece work payment, are throwing
human machinery into the scrap
heap, Gripping employees for life,
and creating a Federal sweat shop
in an effort to save dollars for Uncle
Sam. according to Congressman
James W. ryan, Of Washington
On the other hand, friends of Au-
ditor Charles A Kram assert that
he has brought his force to the
highest stage of efficiency yet reach
ed in any Government office, and
they point out that his work has
been so noteworthy that even
Democratic Administration has re-
tained him, a Republican hold
over in the Government service.
Employees in the Auditors office
are as hopeleSsly divided as out

flee among the Government depart
ments.
Since July l, 1912, when the key
punch machines were installed to DO
away with the old system of assort-
ing money orders by hand. but es-
pecially since January l. 1913, When
operators of the machines were put
on a piece work basis of pay, there
have been continuous complaints
from employees, and protests from
their friends, in and out oil Congress-

CONGRESSMAN Bryan of Washing
ton. who represents the views OF
opponents Of the new system DE-
clares that Auditor Kram has re-
sorted to sweat-shop methods, that
he Is imperiling the health OF scores
of employees. and that no greater
efficiency has resulted from his In
novations. Congressman Bryan Is
s11rrorted in these views by Cogress-
men Nolan of California and Buc-
hanan of Illinois. In ConSressmea

LARGE PROFIT IN CAPONS.
Most of Work Can be Done in Winter
When Time is Plentiful With
the Farmer.

No one is better situated to raise
capons than the farmer On the av-
erage farm the additional worke re
CURED to raise from 100 to 200 ca
pons would not be noticed and the
most of the work can be attended
to in the winter when time is plenti-
full with the farmer.
There are many stories told about
the truth is that the ordinary capon
will grow to but one or two pounds
more than the ordinary uncaponlzed
cockerel would be in the same time,
and to secure this additional weight,
extra feeding is necessary
In preparation for capon feeding It
is wise to hatch about twice the num-
Der of chickens as capons desired, for
fully half are likely to be pullets.
The pullets may be kept for egg
production or may be sold for spring
chickens, thus securing enough money
to pay for raising the whole flock up
to the time the cockerels are old
enough to caponize, which is about
twelve weeks.
The operation of caponizing does
not require much skill, although the
beginner will probably kill two or
three at the start, which will not be
lost for they bleed to death in about
the same time as if they had their
throats cut and are equally as good
for table purposes as if bled in the
latter way.
A set of tools for caponizing costs
from $50 to 81 and with each set
are sent directions that any one can
follow.
After the caponizing the cockerels
become docile and quiet; they lose
ambition and their combs cease to
grow; in fact they shrivel and when
fed they eat their fill and then sit
quietly around until feeding time
comes again.
Capons always retain that sweetness
and juciness of flesh tina are charac-
teristic of the spring chicken-the rea-
son they bring such high price.
They are fed much as other fowls
are fed. only they get more. About all
they eat goes to the formation of juicy
palatable flesh.
A few years ago capons commanded
hardly any attention in the west. and
do not yet bring the prices they do in
the eastern cities.-By Miller Purvis
