Seabnard Stockholders Meet Monday

Figures for the coal and coke loaded

With every available car of the Vir-

coal is beginning to move to the mar

Coke ovens have also been lighted.

When They Split Poland.

From London Tit Rits.
The first partition of Poland was ac-
lively commenced l42 years ago, under
the terms of compact between Fred
erick the Great of Prussia and Gather
inc of Russia, in which Austria was in
vited to take part About one-third of
Poland was seized on this occasion. The
second partition, in 1898. and the third.
in 1875. practically completed the dis
memberment OF the ancient kingdom,
and after the congress of Vienna. a
century ago. nothing was left of Po-
land but a memory. Before the first par
tition the kingdom stretched from the
Carpathians to the Baltic. a distance of
500 miles. 1t is to these original lines
that the czar has promised to restore
Poland after the conclusion of the pres
ent war During the last century Ger

sought to stamp out the language, lit

but with little success. The attempt to
force school children to adopt the Ger
man tongue has resulted in many
STRIKES" of the pupils. and the Poles
have been so determined in their atti-
tude that all the governments involved

Diet for Summer Chicks.

The diet of summer chicks is prac-
tically the same as that for winter
chicks, excepting that less corn "a
heating food) should be allowed in the
ration. There must be some corn, how
ever. Put in just enough to balance
the ration. The thre grains important
for chick growth are wheat. oats and

CAPONIZE THE COCKERELS.
Simple Operation Requires Small
Skill and Triples Fowls Value.

Few poultrymen seem to realize the
fact that the simplest. easiest kind of
operation, requiring only slight skill,
is necessary to convert cockerel,
which at frying size might weigh four
pounds and bring so or IS cents, into
capon which at market age will
weigh eight pounds and sell for at
least $3.50 or more, if sold to private
customers.
AS "A rule. matches of chicks will be
pretty evenly balanced, pullets and
cockerels being about equally divided.
This, of course, results in a surplus
of cockerels, and the extras are usual
ly fattened for market and sold when
they weigh from a pound and a half to
four or five pounds.
If these surplus males are caponized
they will make more weight in the
same length of time and on the same
amount of feed than will the cockereIs
Capons properly prepared for market
viii during the holidays bring from
30 to 40 cents pound. Birds Matched
in March or April, and caponized at
the age of eight or ten weeks, should
weigh not less than eight pounds by
the following holiday season. provided
they are of the heavy breeds, such as
White Rocks. Orpingtohs, Wyandottes.
etc.
Capons. being quiet and unlikely to
range far, put on flesh far mor4 rap
idly than do cockerels, and the flesh
is of much better quality Persons
with a taste for the best in poultry are
willing to pay prices much in excess
of those asked for hens or ROSTERS or
even for fat pullets, for fine, fat, well
finished capons. and the supply is never
equal TO the demand.
The operation of caponizing is ex-
tremely simple. and with the instru-
ments-costing around $3.50 a complete
set-any poultryman, after experiment.
ing on one or two cockerels, can per-
form the operation with practically no
loss. Even should a bird be killed
during the operation it is only neces-
sary to bleed him properly and dispose
of him as an ordinary broiler.
The smaller breeds such as Leghorns
do not make good capons. though even
cockerels of these breeds, II caponixed,
will make more and better meat than
otherwise.
