MAKE CAPoNs OF c0cKERELs
Operation Of caponizing Does Not Re-
quire Much SkiIi-Retain Sweet
ness and Juiciness.

No one is better situated to raise
capons than the farmer. On the aver
age farm the additional work required
to raise from 100 to 200 capons would
not be noticed.
There are many stories told about
the size to which capons grow. while
the truth is that the ordinary capon
will grow to but one or two pounds
more than the ordinary uncaponized
cockerel would in the same time and
to secure this additional weight extrs
feeding is necessary.
In preparation for capon-raising, II
is wise to hatch about twice the num-
Der Of chickens as capons desired, for
fully half are likely to be pullets.
The operation of caponizing does
not require much skill, although the
beginner will probably kill two or
three at the start. which will not be
lost, for they bleed to death In about

BANKS SHOW HUGE GAIN
INCREASE OF Sc, 1853 1877 IN DENVER
1916 SAVINGS.
Prosperity Of Denver People Shown ir
Every Line Of Civic and
Private Life.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Evidences of Denver's un-
precedented prosperity during 1916 are
coming like an avalanche through the
medium of annual totals and account
ings. The evidences have been here
Tor many months, manifesting them
selves through all avenues of trade
and industry. but even the most conf
dent and assured Denverite must exper-
lence thrill of surprise and gratifica-
tlon when he observes some OF the
proofs in the aggregate.
Never before in the history of DEN
yer has there been achievement equal
10 the new and remarkable record in
the number and volume of savings ac-
counts. In twenty-four banks the de-
posits aggregate S3l,924.939 for 1916,
as against $25, ,5G2 in 1915, an in
crease of S6,SG3,377. or approximately
~ per cent. The adding of 25,233 new
accounts during the year. many of
which were deposits of women and
children, gives the figures a signifi-
cant aspect. The total number of ac-
counts is 0000
During the year settlers from all
parts of the United States took up
public land in Colorado to the amount
OF 2.327 ,9S7 acres. Most of these were
taken in 320-acre tracts, the maximum
now permitted as homestead entry
1t is striking parallel in Denver's
financial year that. while her savings
were unprecedentedly big. her dis
bursements indicate a corresponding
increase. There is not branch of
civic and commercial life that has not
felt the influence Of prosperity. Den
yer has bought more automobiles, built
more houses and worn better clothes
than ever before
Estimates based on close calcula-
ttons by experts show that the total
value Of automobiles bought during
the year is approximately $13.600,000.
Total financial transactions of the
Denver postoffice furnish another en-
phatic proof of prosperous conditions.
They will show a gain of more than
s1.000,o0o over the record of 1915. 1t
is expected that the total business will
amount to more than s9.ooo,000 for the
year. In the postal savings bank of
the Denver postoffice. approximately
$535.000 was deposited. a gain of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 over the
amount deposited in 1915.

RETAIN BEST POULTRY STOCK
Sell Everything That is Not Flrsa
Glass, Keeping All High Pro-
ducers for Breeding.

Two factors are working to reduce
the stock of poultry on hand One II
the high price of poultry, both live
and dressed, which obtains at present,
and the other is the high price of
feeds. The latter condition will likely
continue throughout the year. From
reports received, we find that in many
places farmers are selling practically
their entire stock because of these two
conditions. Under ordinary circum~
stances, we believe this to be mis-.
take and that 1t will be well for our
readers to retain their usual amount
Of laying and breeding stock
In all probability, eggs will continue
to bring good prices and, even though
grain is high, the price of eggs viii
probably parallel 1t. Those who sen
off and depend upon buying their
eggs or breeding stock in the spring
in order to replenish their fiocks win
run the chance of being disappointed.
Our advice is, don't sell too closely.
However, the standing advice always
In order, is: Sell everything that IL
not first-class stock.-Pennsylvanja

where FLOOD BEAT A KING
Termonde, Belgium, Routed Army Of
the Grand Monarque by Cutting
the Dykes.

TermOnde, O prosperous town Of
10000 Inhabitants at the beginning Of
the war, spreads over both banks of
the Bender river and the right bank
of the Scheldt, the Bender forming
juncturc with the larger waterway at
this point, says a war geography bull
letin Of the National Geographic so
ciety on one of the cities of Belgium.
Situated only 16 miles east of Client
the great heart of Flemish history,
Termonde itself has a past of which
its citizens may well feel proud. 1t
was here that Louis XIV suffered an
ignominious defeat at the very be-
ginning of his War of Devolution, or
Queens War, in which he set about
to upset political customs and substi-
tute civil usage in the matter of royal
inheritance. Louis defeat was due
not to the prowess Of the city's garri-
son but to the self-sacrifice of her peo-
pie, who employed the irresistible wa
ters Of the North sea to fight their
battle for them, as has been the case
so many times in the history Of the
Low Countries. The dykes were cut
and the investing army of the Grand
Monarque fed before the flood.
During the War Of the Spanish Sue
cession Termonde bravely resisted the
great English general, Marlborough,
but after ten days bombardment
was forced to yield.
On many maps Termonde goes by
its Flemish name of Dendermonde. At
the outbreak of the war it was one
Of the five fortified towns of Belgium,
but Its defenses were not of modern
design. The city is % miles by rail
southwest of Antwerp. The most in
teresting buildings in Termonde are
the Hotel de Vile formerly the Cloth
halD, fourteenth century structure,
and the Gothic church of Notre Dame,
which contains two valuable pictures
by Van Dyck.
Termonde is only 20 feet above sea-
level, fact which accounts for the
ease with which the surrounding coun-
try was flooded when besieged in 1867.

soil in May 1866, and was hailed by the
populace as the successor to their first
prince. Colonel Cuza, who, as Alexan-
a short time previously. Charles was
the second son Of Prince Charles An
tony OF HohenzOllern-S -Sigmaringen, and
at the time his name was submitted to
the people Of Roumania Che was chosen
by a vote of 6S5,969 to 224) was an
officer In the Prussian army. AS the
king Of Prussia was pledged to support
native noble for the Roumanian prin-
cipality, Charles could not be espoused
openly, but upon the advice of Bis
marck he resigned his commission in
the Prussian army and, under an as
sumed name and with a forged pass
port, made his way down the Danube
into the country over which he was to
rule most successfully, first us prince
and later as king, for more than half q
century.
A short distance below Turnu
SEVERN is the little village of Kladova,
which in Roman times was known as
Egota, the station from which Trajan's
two roads of conquest diverged, one up
the banks of the Danube and the other
striking north into Dacia. 1t was the
latter road which necessitated the con-
struction of the famous Trajan bridge
across the Danube at this point, the
largest in the Roman empire. How
well the great Damascus architect,
Apollodorus, designed this structure is
indicated by the fact that after more
than 1880 years portions of some Of
it's 20 stone piles described by the his
torian Gibbon are still to be seen. and
perhaps it would have done service
for centuries had 1t not been destroyed
to prevent the invasion of the terri
tory south of the river by the Goths.
The remains Of this famous work were
not discovered until 1884, the honor of
the find being credited to Michael Jo-
seph Quin, who made systematic
search for the piers while accompany
ing the Hungarian road-builder, Count
Szechenyi, on one of his journeys down
the Danube. The stones which are
now disclosed at low water are the
ruins of piers 145 feet high, SO feet
broad and 163 feet apart. When the
Roman sappers overthrew them to
check the march Of the barbarian en-
emy the masonry damned the waters.

Tools Used In caponixino.

the same time as II their throats had
been cut, and are exactly as good for
table purposes as If bled in the latter
way.
A set of tools for caponizing costs
$1.5O to 50, and with each set are sent
directions that anyone can follow.
After the caponizing the cockereis
become docile and quiet; they lose
ambition and their combs cease to
grow. In fact, they shrivel, and when
fed they eat their fill and sit quietly
around until feeding time again.
Capons always retain that sweet
ness and juiciness of flesh that are
characteristic of the spring chicken
the reason they bring such a high
price.
They are fed much as other fowls
would be, only eating more. About ali
they eat goes to the formation of juicy.
palatable flesh.
few years ago capons commanded
hardly any attention in the West, and
do not yet bring the prices they do ip
the eastern cities.
By the last of March good capons
sell readily in Chicago at II cents per
pound, as against IL cents for dressed
chickens.
AS the average Plymouth Rock ca
pom will weigh seven or eight pounds,
it will be seen that the capon sells for
from 40 to SO cents more than the
chicken of the same age and the DIFF
ference in the cost of raising is insig-
nificant.
