Differ on Christ's Birthday

THE early Christmas were d.
i vided as to the date on
which the nativity Of Christ
should be celebrated. Some of
these celebrated II on the first
or sixth of January, other groups
observed September 20 and still
another March %. AS early as
the fourth century, however, the
period Of the new year had been
generally accepted as the time
for celebrating Christ's birth.
The Western branch of the
church observed December %
and the Eastern church January
6. Finally 1t was decided that all
should celebrate December 25.
Pope julius l., who presided in
the first half of the fourth cen
fury, Is credited with having set
the date.

CORN HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Growing Period Is During Hottest Part
of Year When Soil Is Dry and
Thoroughly Warm.

Corn has an advantage over the
small grains. It's growing period Is
during the warmest part Of the year
The soil is then dried out and warmed
thoroughly. The days are then the
longest and the sun shines the warm.
est. All these things are needed by a
plant to make growth. From this II
becomes pain why corn should pro.
duce more food on an acre Of land
than q crop that does not take advan.
tage of the whole growing season.
Corn has another advantage and
that is that its nature of growth Is
such that 1t can be cultivated. Many
may think that this is disadvantage
The cultivation kills weeds and keeps
the moisture from escaping. While
corn uses as much moisture as grain
crop, the cultivation given II reduces
the amount of moisture that evapOr-
ates from the soil-in this way max
ing the corn crop a moisture saver.
The corn crop has the advantage OF
season of growth, enabling 1t to pro-
duce more per acre than the grain
crops and the advantage of lending
itself to being cultivated, which saves
moisture and kills weeds, making II
both q good producer and a crop to
prepare the land for other crops.

should be sewn up. Capons scalded
and picked bare bring very little, if
any, better prices than other poultry
in the same condition.
Most markets require capons to be
undrawn and the head and feet left
on. Care should be used to cleanse
the head and feet of all signs of blood
and filth.
Pack in Neat Box.
After picking, the carcasses are
hung in cool place until the animal
heat has entirely left the body, when
they are ready to be packed. Like
other poultry they should be packed
in boxes of convenient size, holding a
dozen carcasses, or in barrels. Every
attention should be given to neatness
and attractiveness, as this helps the
sale and the price. During the time
of year when most capons are mar
keted-January, February and March
no ice is necessary, but if for any
reason they are shipped in warm
weather they should be packed in
ice.

Some Feathers. Should Be Allowed to

Convenient Size.

Capons selected for killing should

is known as the sticking method. The
fowl is hung up by the feet, the head
in the left hand, and the whole body
stretched to full length. The mouth Is
forced open and the blood vessels at
the back of the throat are severed
with a sharp narrOw-bladed knife.
The knife is then turned and the
point plunged through the roof of the
mouth to a point just behind and be-
tween the eyes, piercing the BRAIN
The muscles are relaxed and the
feathers come out easily.
Dry Picking Is Best.
Capons should always be dry picked,
as they look much better and as some
of the feathers should be left on. The
feathers of the neck and head, the tail
feathers, those short way up the
back, the feathers of the last two
joints of the wing, and those of the
leg, about One-third of the way from
knee to hip joint, should be left on.
These feathers, together with the head
of the cap~n, serve to distinguish 1t
from other classes of poultry on the
market, and consequently should
never be removed. In packing, be
careful not to tear the skin. Bad
tears, poultry specialists of the United
