and pump water from wells, says the
Kansas Farmer.
On dairy farms water is of even
greater Importance than on general live
stock farms. Milk COWS drink more
water than do other animals because
a great deal of water is required for
milk production.
Cows form fixed habits as to the
time of drinking water and are rest
less and uneasy unless they can get
all the fresh water they want at the
time they have habitually been getting
it. For this reason there must be
great regularity in supplying the wa
ter. BY far the most satisfactory plan
is to have tanks that can he kept filled
at all times.
\ stock farm cannot be considered
fully equipped until it has a complete
water system with a storage tank high
enough to force water wherever it Is
needed. Probably no other improve
ment Saves as much labor as does a
water system. On farms where the
tank car he given sufficient elevation
on a hillside it ar be built in the
ground of cement. and the water will
he kept cooler than when stored in
tanks elevated above the ground.
Where an ample storage tank is built
the drinking tanks in the various
yards al be small. This insures the
water being freSher than when it
would be stored in large open tanks.
In addition to having plenty of Wa
ter for the stock to drink, a dairy farm
needs water in the room where the
milk is handled and the diary utensils
are washed. There is a lot of drudg-
cry in caring for milk and washing
the pals and can where water has
to be carried. In fact. on a diary farm
one of the first things to plan for is a
water system that will put running
water wherever needed. Until this is
done caring for milk is bound TO he
drudgery.
The source of the water supply must
be thoroughly dependable, and there
should be no question as to its free
dom from contamination. There is no
quicker way to spread disease than
through a contaminated water supply,

Orange Judd Farmer.
The course which successful poultry
men now follow is to %caponize the
cockerels and put on the market a well
fattened bird that brings a high price.

grows and lays on fat. This is Just
what the p%oultryman wants, for capons
are prime for the market between late
December and April, when the prices
are comparatively high. At this time
the capons weigh from eight to twelve
pounds and are worth is to 80 cents
live weight on big city markets, de-
pending upon weight conditions and
supply and demand.
The heavier breeds. such as Brahma.
Plymouth Rock. Orpington or Wyan-
dotte are usually preferable for capon-
1zing. Some growers have success
with the lighter breeds: but, generally,
light bred cockerels such as White
Leghorns are quickly fattened in the
late spring or early summer and are
sold as broilers or fricrs at high prices.
Cockerels are c%aponiZed at six to ten
weeks of age. when the shock of re-
moving the sex organs is not harmful.
Even a child can do the work, but it
takes a little practice to get the right
knack. Sharp Instruments of proper
design are essential to make a clean

the cords holding the organs, There
are good makes Of Instruments upon
the market which are available at a
reasonable price and accompanied by
complete set of directions. \ skillful
operator will do the work in one and
one-half or two minutes per fowl.
A day and a half after the operation
the capons are fed for the first time,
being given soft feeds and plenty of
water until after a week, when they
may be turned With the flock. About
three weeks previous to marketing the
following winter they are penncd and
