TO OPEN BRIDGE AT
 SAN CARLOS SOON

For the first time since 1915 the bridge across the Gila river at San Carlos soon will open to travel, ac- cording to the announcement of Thomas Maddock. state engineer.
 The use of the bridge will decrease the highway distance between the Stafford valley and Globe besides pro- viding better roads over a twelve mile course.
 The bridge, which was constructed by the government, was almost com pleted when the south approach was washed out by floods. The legislature appropriated s65,000 for additional bridge and repair work and the con- tract was let to the Midland Bridge company of St. Louis. The temporary approach now being built by James Parker of the state enginee's depart ment was made>.possible by the Feb ruary floods, which changed the chan mel under the bridge.

KITCHEN WASTE GOOD
FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Converted Into Wholesome and
Nutritious Food.
Ast Only Helps In Reducing Cost OF
Living, but Furnishes Eags Of
Quality and Freshness Diff
ncuIt 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, but 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 it is
produced in 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 spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. The average
size of the backyard flock should be
at least ten hens. Thus, each flock
would produce in a year 100 dozen of
eggs, which, at the conservative value
Of 35 cents a dozen, would be worth
sS5.
BY keeping a backyard poultry flock
the family would not only help in re-
ducing the cost Of living but would
have eggs of quality and freshness
often otherwise difficult TO obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little, as
the fowls are fed largely upon waste
materials.

Caponizing the surplus cOckerels is
growing la 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.
III Is impossible to say just how long
the operation Of caponizing has been
performed. 1t seems quite certain
however, that the practice was famil-
lar to the Chinese more than 1000
years ago. Later 1t was practiced by
the Greeks and Romans and through
medieval times by the people of mid
die and southern Europe In recent
years 1t was introduced into America.
AT present capons are most universal
~ 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
SNANNAihS tht UtSl suited
for caponizing several factors must be
taken into consideration. Large capons
bring the best prices. Consequently,
the breed should be large II 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
emit producers, as are also various
crosses of these. The Orpington also
snakes fine capons, but the white legs
and skin are somewhat OF disadvan-
cage IN this country.
Best Price In Winter.
In so far as the effects of the opera
dion 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
to recover well at any time. Certain
other considerations, however, inhu-
ence the time. The age and size of the
eockerel are very important. AS soon
as the cOckerels weigh one and one
half pounds, or when two to four

LESS VEGETABLE SEED CROPS
Reductions Range From 90 Per Cent

Few Increases.

The production of practically all
small vegetable seed crops will be
considerably less this year than in
1919 or 1918. according to reports re-
ceived by the bureau of markets,
United States department OF agricul-
ture. The reductions range from IS
per cent for spinach to II per cent for
lettuce Increases are shown for gar
den pole beans, garden peas, and

A slightly larger production than last
year Of the early crop of alfalfa seed
In the Southwest is indicated. Due to
smaller acreage and lighter yield per
acre production Of timothy seed of
approximately so per cent Of last year
is forecast.

Keep houses, coops, and fowls free

Sore eyes in ducks are often caused

Be sure the chicks have plenty Of

Now is good time to fix up the

The food must not be too highly

Lime is a mighty good thing TO

yards.
Sell surplus cockerels as soon as
they weigh two or two and a half

Clean the brood coops frequently
