THE PROFITABLE CAP0N.

The bcst caponS are hatched I'm early
spring and operated upon during early
summer. before extremely hot weather
begins. says the Country Gentleman.
The birds are then ready for market
during and after the holiday season.
Cockerels OF any breed can be made
TO increase In weight by being capon-
lied. The larger breeds will permit OF
much greater gains and are therefore
more desirable For the production OF
capons on the farm the Plymouth
Rocks are among the best fowls TO
keep. since the females may be kept
for eggs and all surplus cockerels ca
ponized.
June and July are the best months
for the work. because spring hatched
chicks reach proper size then and also
because birds caponlzed at this time ar
rive at the proper age and weight for
marketing at the season when there is
the greatest demand and the best prices
prevail

BARRENNESS IN CORN.
Various Reasons Other Than Heredit.
Given For Loss Of Yield.

Various Reasons Other Than Heredity
Given For Loss Of Yield.
Many of our corn breeders treat bar
renness In corn as hereditary. How
ever | have noticed that IL corn is
planted properly. not too thick, on well
prepared fertile soil and given good
cultivation there are AS rule very
few barren stalks. says correspondent
OF the American Agriculturist.
On the other hand II the corn is
planted too thick and the grass and
weeds allowed TO grow with the corn
there are more barren stalks In the
same variety than in such corn II well
cared for
IL the barrenness has any hereditary
tendency at all In corn II may be
largely overcome by good soil prepa-
ration, careful planting and good cul-
tivation | would rather risk going to

spring provided the corn was well
dried before storing and was stored
before hard freezing weather set In.
than to trust 10 seed from distance
and thus get seed from variety of
corn not known and tested In my
locality.
As TO barrcnness Professor Hunt in
his Cereals In America says: "A vary
ing percentage of the stalks OF the field
are barren. do not bear any ears. The
percentage OF barren stalks on given
soil varies with the thickness or plant
ing and the season. BaTenness does
not seem 10 be variety characteristic.
II seems 10 be largely the result of
environment II ii were a hereditary
Characteristic the fact that the stalks
are barren would tend TO eliminate
them"
Would II not be a good plan TO oh

that can be overcome or controlled only
by years OF painstaking breeding?

BREWERY BOSSES ORDER
SALOONS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS

The brewers of New York City have
issued an edict that the saloons con-
trolled by them shall close on Sun
day. This does not, however, neces-
sarily indicate a change of heart on
the part of the manufacturers of beer.
The explanation of the order is given
in a brewers circular which reads as
follows; "The activity of the social
led religionists in a nearby city is at
tracing considerable attention, and
the influence of that campaign for or
against the liquor interests in this
state depends on how you conduct
your place on Sunday"
As few leading brewers hold chat
