The dash was made In the direction OF

has been the capture OF large number
OF prisoners The correspondent, says
that the battle in the Carpathians Is held
by all IN Petrograd as marking the turn
ing point OF the war and the Russians
will not permit anything to prevent their
success.

Russian efforts have hitherto been re-

Actions in the direction of Rostok

large reenforcements. The object has
been to penetrate the Russian dispo-
sitons while. especially IN the direction
OF Rostok. the acknowledgements have

High winds and heavy rain storms are
to be expected during the passage of
this storm followed by change to
cooler and clearing skies.
Rising temperatures on the western

that second storm area, probably a

1t should be remembered that this is
the beginning of the West India Hur-

likely at this time. The fact that
they are little understood makes them
all the more dangerous.

At the end of that time they are

they certainly make a fine showing

If you once get a customer for
Capons you can always sell him again,

An article saw in poultry maya
zine about capons caught my eye one
day and | Immediately wrote both Mr..
Beuoy and the Geo. Pilling Co., whose
ads found in several poultry papers
and after studying the matter over
decided on the Automatic Remover as
the one to try.
| interested doctor friend of mine
(also poultry admirer) in my VEN
ture and we did the first work to-
gether. The only instructions we fol-
lowed were found in Mr.. Beuoys book
on What is a Capon and Why" with
which we had fine success.
I always keep the birds to be cap
onized from feed for at least "a hours
to have the bowls empty which gives
more room in the abdomenal cavity
to find the testicles. To be sure there
is no chance for infection l always
wash the part of the body where the
incision is to be made with an anti
ceptic solution of any kind that is the
handiest at that time, also thoroughly
sterilizing instruments before starting
in on batch of poultry.
| always try to have the birds to
be caponized, to weigh from one to
one and one-half pounds, but do not
