POULTRY
CON SULTING Departures Il
Conducted by NJ. W. HICKS

Every farmer should have capons
TO sell; yet we ind that only a small
percentage have them, although they
may have any number OF ROSTERS to
sell at ordinary market prices. Turn
this surplus into profit. Capons have
brought more dollars into the pockets
of men who raise chickens than any
other end OF the meat supply bust
ness, and they are a better invest
ment than any other side, save the
production of eggs. So take care of
your ROSTERS properly this year. Do
not allow any more dollars To roll
away from you.
The problem to be solved in keep
ing poultry is how we can best dis
pose of the meat 50 that we shall be
able to make up for the fowls that
are dead weight upon our feed bill?
Capons is the answer, And the way
in which We answer this question will

needs stronger soil than does other

size as well as flavor, and il is from
these close in fruits that we get our

CapOnizing Easy.

CapOnizing is very easy task. 1t

il was impossible to get enough capons

he added, IL hate these little roosters

No Profit in Selling Frlers.


The best of chicken men will tell
you that they have half as many
cockerels as pullets. This being true,
II we desire 200 pullets we are obliged
TO hatch 400 chicks II will take just
as much equipment TO care for and
as much time and money investment,
10 raise these surplus cockerels as il
would the same number of pullets We
shall, therefore, desire to get the most
from them.
We may rush them To the meat
market just as soon as they weigh
from one to two pounds and sell them
for friers. But there are thousands Of
other men doing this same thing, so
let us be practical and do something
different. and get our pay for doing it.
Selling cockerels for friers is selling
for less than cost of production, any
way you figure il. Young cockerels
will average % cents a head, and we
would get $50 for 200 head. This will
about cover the entire cost of produc-
ton, throwing your time i'm gratis.
But selling these same 200 cocker
els as capons we will receive eight
times as much money. or about $500
just $3.50 more than friers sell for a
few months earlier in the season. Add
this to the profit Of the farm pens and
the annual income will be surprising;
it will be a profitable proposition.

Marketing
Placing the product ON the market
to best advantage is usually the
stumbling block The best plan is To
get prospective buyers TO go through
our orchards just before the fruit is
ready to harvest, and get them TO bids
ding on the crop then sell to them if
possible This transfers the chances
to them. also relieves us of a lot Of re-

The question sometimes comes up IF

being of a quiet, gentle disposition;
yet they like their liberty and are as
good foragers as any of the more active
breeds. You don't need an eight foot
fence To keep them either, a three foot
wire without top rail is all that is
necessary.
They are TO a large extent non
settlers; only three or four out of ten
will become broody during the year.
The Brahmas are good settlers and
mothers, too, even though they are
heavy. And when ii comes 10, AN ideal
fancier's breed, where will you find a
more beautiful, imposing, attractive
fowl than the Light Brahmas? They
are one of the oldest breeds too;
therefore are true to their colors."
If you are "a beginner, don't go in
for new thing. give the Brahmas a
trial. There is great demand for
good stock. The breeders Of Light
Brahmas could not begin TO keep up
with their orders last season, and there
will be much greater demand this
season.
