KITCHEN WASTE GOOD
FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Converted Into Wholesome and
Nutritious Food.
Not Only Helps in Reducing Cost OF
Living, but Furnishes Eggs OF
Quality and Freshness Diff
ficuIt to Obtain.

In every household. no matter how
economical the housewife. there Is a
certain amount of table scraps and
Kitchen waste which has feeding
value. bur which. If not fed, finds its
WAY into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class of dOmes-
tic animals suitable for converting
this waste material. right where il is
produced ia the city, into wholesome
and nutritious food in the form OF
eggs and poultry meat.
Each hen in her pullet year should
produce ten dozen eggs. poultry ape
cialists Of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture say. The average
size of the backyard lock should he
st least i.n hens. Thus. each flock
would produce in n year 100 dozen OF
ag.S. which, ~ the conservative value
of RI cents u dozen, would be worth
S25.
Nv keeping backyard ponitry flock
the family would not only help in re-
ducinr the cost of living bu. would
have eggs Of quality and freshness
often otherwise difficult 10 obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little. as
the fowls are fed largely upon waste
materials.

Up to June 80, 1920. 1855 projects
involving a total of 29.3l9 miles of
road had been approved by the sec
rotary of agriculture. The prelim-

projects is approximately 1884, 100000,
Of which approximately S163, S41 900
will be approved as federal aid. On
the same date 2.116 projects repre-
senting approximately 1894 miles had
either been completed or were under
construction. The estimated total cost
of these projects in various stages of
construction and completed. is $780,
100000. The total cost of federal-aid
work approved by the secretary in the
10 months subsequent to the signing
of the armistice and prior to July l.
1920, which is approximately $3.50, OOO.-

er, the seller does not tell the buyer
the horse will haul two tons in the
country.
The farmer knows his conditions
and what he can expect.
In view of the fact that farmers
are using an ever increasing number
Of mOtortrucks, il Is interesting to
note what leading transportation au-
thOrity recently said about doing
this with trucks, that is, calling them
two, three, four, etc, ton trucks.
obviously II is as Illogical for
motOrtruck manufactures TO label his
truck twotOn hauler as it would be
for a horse dealer to say how much
horse would haul. Clearly In either
case the load which may be transport
ed depends almost entirely upon cOndl-
lions. For this reason leading manu-
facturerS have abolished the ton rat
ing method and are fitting the trucks
to the job. A transportation engineer
goes over the hauler'S conditions thor
oughly. All his difficulties and ad-
vantages are carefully considered, and
the proper size unit prescribed. Thus.
a truck formerly rated at two tons
may be used for a fOur-tOn load in the
city, while in an unusually had Sec
ton of the country unit with a larger
rated horse power capacity may be
necessary. If the owner is to prevent
wasteful depreciation"
In other words. manufacturers are
taking advantage Of the experience
gained in horse hauling. They real
lie It takes "ten horses on loose gravel
and one on concrete" They are SELL
ing their transportation accordingly.

'ap0nizing the surplus CockcreIS Is
growing in favor with poultrymen and
some farmers in this Industry. for the
capon grows larger than the cockerel
and in addition commands a much bet
ter price.
1t Is Impossible to say just how long
the operation OF capOnIzing has been
performed. II seems quite certain,
however. that the practice was famil-
lar TO the Chinese more than 1000
years ago Later it was practiced by
the Greeks and Romans and through
medieval times by the people of mid
de and southern Europe. In recent
years it was introduced into America.
At present capOns are most universal
ly known and appreciated In France,
although the business of producing
them has advanced gradually in Amer
lea. This industry is most important
in that portion Of the United States
east of Philadelphia, though increas-
Ing numbers of capOnS are being raised
In the middle western states on gen
eral farms.
In selecting the breed best suited
for capOnizing several factors must be
taken into consideration. Large Capons
bring the best prices. Consequently,
the breed should be large. 1t does not
pay to capOniZe small fowls. poultry
experts Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. Yellow legs
and skin, as in other classes of pOul-
try, are most popular. The Plymouth
Rocks, Light BrahmaS. CochinS. In
dian Games, LanGShanS and Wyan-
dOtteS are all recommended by differ
ent producers. H. are also various
crosses of these. The OrplngtOn also
makes fine capons, but the white legs
and skin are somewhat of a disadvan-
tage in this country.
Best Price in Winter.
In so far rs 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 capOns seem
70 recover well AT any time. Certain
other considerations. however. infiu-
ence the time. The age and size of the
cOckerel are very important. As soon
