increased Value Of Birds Pays Well for
Time and Labor-OperatIon 10
Not Difficult.

AS 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.
II Is not surprising that 80 few poul-
try owners undertake to caponize the
cockerels. But II all poultry owners
were aware Of the increase of profit
tnat capons pay over the ordinary,
poultry l think a great many more
would learn how to perform the op-
Grafton and caponize all the surplus
males every fall
Even II 1t were done only to sup.
ply the use of them on ones own ta-
bic 1t would pay well, says a writer I'M
an exchange. AS almost all farmers
themselves emasculate all their sur
plus bears and bull calves, and some
even the male colts, 1t is evident that
with little more skill they can emas-
culate the cockerels, and in most cases
can sell them for from a half more up
10 twice as much as the cockerels
would bring in the market
AS caponizing requires q keen eye
and steady hand, as we'll as the spe-
ciai tools for doing the work, it would
be we'll for one without experience, II
he Jan 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 l
think it will be well to etherize or
chloroform the chicken, 80 that 1t will
be absolutely still. However, II one
knows how to do the Job and has the
TOOLS 1t takes but little while, and
there is no reason to believe that the
suffering will be great

temperature Of the milk during trans-
portation. A series of tests that had
recently been completed shows the
importance Of surrounding the milh
cans during hot weather with some ap-
propriate insulating material which
VIII enectually exclude the heat.
Even when milk IL to be shipped
only a short distance its Temperature
should not be higher than so d1krees
r. At this temperature bacteria will
multiply but the increase Ia slow and
few hours delay will result in no
serious injury. In milk above 90 de.
grees F. the rate of bacteria growth IL
much more rapid. 1t follows that when
the milk is to be shipped a long dis
lance 1t must be loaded on the cars al
temperature much less than so de,
grees F. unless some efficient means
Is taken to prevent the Temperature
rising during the journey.
Perhaps the most practical way Of
accomplishing this IL to wrap the cans
IN . pair OF quilt jackets, wet burlap!
or some other similar material. In the
course of the recent experiments milk
was hauled q distance of 10 miles In
an average air temperature Of 81. IS de-
gress r., the milk being shipped 1t a
temperature OF 80 degrees F. At the
END OF three hours the cans that were
hair-Quilt jacketed showed a raise
OF only 81 degrees F.; those wrapped
IN wet bUrlap, raise Of 81 degrees
+. Milk In cans that were left unpro.
tected rose In the same time to a tenn.
perature Of 1875 degrees f.. an increase
OF 2S.5 degrees. This Is much too high.
More elaborate methods OF preserv.
ing milk during shipment by refrisera.
ton are discussed In a professional
bulletin just issued by the United
states department Of agriculture,
which deals In = technical way with
many types Of refrigerating apparatus.
The bulletin discusses fully the influ.
ence OF time and temperature on bao.
teria In milk. 1t also contains elab-
crate diagrams illustrating the differ.
ent methods employed In utilizing re-
migration, and the cost OF operating
them. This bulletin 90 long as the
departments supply lasts will be sent
rree to all interested In the refrixera-
ton OF milk. Refrigeration, however.
Is, OF course, not always possible, while
any shipper can take the precaution
of jacketing his milk cans.

CONCRETE OR CEMENT SILOS
Material Gaining Rapidly In Popular
ity Where Permanently 10 Desired
on Live Stock Farms.

The concrete and cement block con-
struction is getting very popular in
so far as silos are concerned; especial
ly is this true where permanency Is
desired. such as established stock
farms, etc.
In the past the high first cost Of
this construction has been the chief
factor against its more extensive use,
but this has been due to our INSULT
Client knowledge as to the best and
most economical methods In handling
material.
The price of lumber has been stead
lily raising. while that of the good Port
land cement has been decreasing, and
good qualities can now be obtained at
fair prices. 1t seems, therefore, to be
generally conceded that the concrete
or cement block silo will be the silC Of
the future.

cause he is too busy with his work.
The astronomer from his vantage
ground can see for a hundred miles
all about him. He can look out from
Mount Lowe across the city OF Los
Angeles. His glass is so powerful
that he can bring the moon to within
60 miles of his nose and study it de-
tail by detail. With a smaller. glass
he can look out on the plain below
and watch the millionaires building
houses, the middle rich running their
automobiles and the great ships COM
ing in across the curve of the earth
TO bring the products of the world
TO the doors of California.
All around him the peaks spread
out. On a clear evening they stand
against the sunset sky, their shad-
ows racing across the intervening val
leys. Then sometimes the fogs arise
and hide the lowlands. The astrono-
mer then lives like a sailor on a great
white sea. Here and there peaks and
hilltops rise through the fogs like
Islands In great flowing gulf stream.
Land Of Nut Pines.
The visitors to Mount Lowe can ex-
perience the same thrills the astrono-
mer feels. In fact. he goes further
than the astronomer, for he sees them
FOR the first time. AS he starts up
the hilltop, going higher and higher
he circles around canyon or precipice
ever going higher and higher toward

GUS place outside and the birds are
led by degrees to enter the Enclosure.
Such food as suet. seeds, or cracked
nuts will prove attractive as bait.
Two designs are given in the bulle-
tin for adequate food shelters. The
first may be attached to a tree. the
other may be placed on top of a post
or tree stub. The sides are made Of
glass. There Is no bottom to either Of
these structures.
Besides protecting food, such shell
ter will provide a place where one in
terested in birds can watch them con-
veniently.
II the farmer has neither the time
nor inclination to make a shelter but
still desires to attract valuable birds
by putting out food, the next best
thing is to fasten the bait to trunks or
branches OF trees or scatter 1t on the
ground in sheltered places.
Desirable birds may be attracted by
other means than food, particularly In
summer. On warm days they appre-
ciate fresh water for drinking and
bathing. A shallow pool OF varying
depth, If only foot across, becomes a
center of attraction for all the birds
In the vicinity, and 1t may be made
