OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

1t is especially important that sur
plus cockerels be utilized as capons
to increase the meat supply. Capons,
or male birds whose reproductive or
gans have been removed, increase in
weight and their meat is of good quail
ity.
To determine the best time to capon-
ize one should be guided by the age
and size of the bird. A cockerel two
to four months of age and weighing
one and q half to two and a half
pounds is Il convenient-Sized bird with
which to work.
There are three essentials to good
results in caponiZing. First, the bird
should not be fed for SO hours prior
to the operation so that the intestines
will be empty and the reproductive
organs exposed; second, the operation
should be performed in strong light
I'm order that the organs may be
clearly distinguished; third, one should
have a good set of tools.
The skilled operator can caponize
a bird in short time. Birds which
have been operated on should be
placed in a house from which the
rooSts have been removed. Give
caponized birds a soft feed for ten
days after the operation, after which
they may be placed on a scratch food
ration. The wet feed may consist of
two pounds corn meal, one pound of
bran and one pound of middlings
mixed with skimmilk or buttermilk.
The first two weeks capons should
be examined for "windpuffs." These
can be easily relieved by pricking the
skin with a needle or knife. Two or
three weeks prior to marketing, con-
fine and fatten capons in crates. Ev-
cry ounce Of gain ut this time adds
to the appearance Of and the profits
from the bird.

Suggestions to Those VINO
Contemplate Having Their
Photographer Make Picture

There is more in getting photo
graph than simply going to a photog-
rapher. He must know his business
and you must know yours, otherwise
the result will be likeness that Is
neither flattering nor truthful.
If you are short and stout, advises
an authority, don't ask the poor artist
to make a picture Of you full length.
He will if you insist, but he knows he
is doing a great wrong thereby. Moth
ing is SO graceful and pleasing in
picture of stout lady as a sitting at
half-length, the figure so turned as to
hide the stOutness.
Again, if you are slim and angular,
do not for an instant forget that full
length figure will make you appear
more slim and angular. Then the
pretty bust picture is your only hope,
and you should insist on having none
other.
If a gentleman has a very long neck
no matter how nicely he looks in
high collar-his picture, if taken in
such a high affair, would look gro
tesque. A short neck and high collar,
and long neck and a low turned-doWn
collar, by all means. No loud stripes,
no great checks, no striking figures
should be worn in a photograph.
One thing bear in mind when you
visit the studio-bring along your
home expression. Don't spend two
DAYS before you come to the studio
practicing poses and different express
sions before your mirror, and, lastly,
give the photographer the benefit OF
exercising his artistic and professional
ability.
