MANS SHORT TERM OF LIFE
In Comparison With Other Animals
He Does Not Nearly Live Out
His Allotted Time.

rule which holds fairly true among
the higher animals is that an animal
lives five times as long as it requires
for his muscular system to reach it's
full strength. The dog is fully devel-
oped at between two and three years
of age, and lives fifteen years; the
horse reaches his prime not later than
five, and If he escapes overwork and
ill usage, lives to be twenty five and
even thirty. In fact, the rule seems to
be an understatement of animal ex-
pectation of life, rather than an over
statement.
The one conspicuous exception is
man. who seldom reaches his full mus
cular strength before he is twenty five
and counts himself living on borrowed
time If he passes the age of seventy
II man we're as we'll circumstanced in
this matter as the horse, dog or cat,

make the incision between the last
two ribs. holding the edge OF the knife
away from you as you stand back of
the fowl. Lengthen the incision in
each direction until it is one 10 one
and half inches long. Now insert
the spreader into the incision, thus
springing the ribs apart The intes-
tines will now be visible, covered by a
thin membrane called the omentum.
Tear apart this membrane with the
hook, and the upper testicle, yellow or
sometimes rather dark colored and
| about the size and shape of an ordi-
nary bean, should be visible close up
against the backbone. By pushing aside
the intestines this can easily be seen,

of the other testicle.
If both testicles are to be removed
through the same incision, remove the
lower first, as the bleeding from the
upper might be sufficient to obscure
the lower. Each testicle is enveloped
In thin membrane. This may be and
probably is best removed with the
testicle, though some operators tear
1t open and remove the testicle only.
The delicate part of the operation Is
at hand, due to the close proximity of

Many farmers and poultry fanciers
have found it profitable to turn all
their surplus cockerels into capons by
altering or castrating them; others
think they can do better by selling
the cockerels as broilers as long as
prices hold up and caponize only later
Matched chicks.
The capon or castrated rooster bears
the same relation to a cockerel that a
steer does to bull, barrow to a
boar. or wether to ram. AS with
other male animals so altered, the dis
position of the capon differs materially
from that of the cockerel. AS result
OF the more peaceful disposition of the
capon he continues to grow and his
body develops more uniformly and to a
somewhat greater size than is the case
with a cockerel of the same age.
Time to Caponixe.
In so far as the effects of the opera
ton and the rapidity and ease of heal
Ing are concerned, the time of year
when the operation is performed is of
little importance. The age and size of
the cockerel, however. are very impor-
tant. AS soon as the cockerels weigh
two to three pounds, or when two to
four months old. they should be opera
ted upon.
Operation of Caponizina.
Before beginning the operation two
conditions are absolutely essential If
these are not favorable. do not at
tempt to operate. The first Of these is
that the intestines of the fowl should
be completely empty. so that they will
TALL away and expose the testicle to
view This can be accomplished by
shutting up the fowls ant withholding
all food and water for twenty-fouf to
thirty-six hours before the operation.
Thirty-six hours is better than twenty
four. especially for. a beginner. The
second condition Is a good. strong
light. so that the organs of the fowl
may be clearly and easily distin-
guished. Direct sunlight is best for
this, and in consequence 1t is we'll to
operate out of doors on bright day.
Methods Of Holding the Fowl.
When ready to operate, catch the
bird and pass a moose of strong string
about the legs. Do the same with both
wings close to the shoulder joints. To
the other end of the strings are at
tached weights Of sufficient size to
hold down and stretch out the bird
when placed upon the head of a bar
rel or box of convenient height. which
Is to serve as operating table.
Having fastened the fowl, be sure
that all the instruments are at hand.
II is also well. though not necessary,
to have ready some absorbent cotton
and dish OF water to which has been
added few drops of carbolic acid
Having once started, carry the opera
ton through as quickly as possible.

"A monument built by and from

describes himself. He says:
For years l was coffee drinker

ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,
headaches and indigestion.
"The different kinds of medicine l
tried did not cure me, and finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and
