POULTRY

Although caponizing is not generally
practiced by poultrymen of western
Washington, the practice is gaining in
favor, as is shown by the splendid
turnout at a recent caponizing demon
stration at North Bend, King county.
There were about IS who attended, &C
cording to L. c. Boggs, instructor of
poultry husbandry at the state col
lege, who put on the demonstration.
While Leghorns were used and out
of the 100 cockerels there was only
one killed. The visitors were given a
chance to try their hand and one boy
10 years old made successful opera
ton.
In order to show the value of ca
pons for brooding chicks, Mr.. Boggs
secured Black Minorca capon, that
was brooding % young chicks. The ca
pom took as good care of the chicks as
though it was their own mother.
One lady in the community told of
having a Barred Rock capon weighing
IL IL pounds that brooded so chicks
when he was less than year old. She
rents her capons out each spring to
neighbors for brooding purposes.
"a capon requires less feed per
pound of weight gained than cock
erel because he is more docile, less &C
tive and nervous than the cockerel,"
explained MI. Boggs. "The quality OF
the capon meat is far superior to that
of any other bird. The meat of ca
pom compares with that of cockerel
as the meat of fat steer does with
that of an old bull. A person who has
eaten capon meat will prefer it to tur-
key for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The price for capons should be the
same per pound as for turkeys.
"a capon at months of age will
weigh two pounds more than his cock
erel full brother of the same age. The
best breeds to caponize are those of
the American class, such as Plymouth
Rock Rhode Island Reds, etc, or of
the heavier breeds, that is, Brahma,
Langshan and Cochan.
1.-THE Leghorn is not so profitable
for this work, but rather than give
them away, or if few are to be held
for home consumption, caponizing will
greatly improve the quality of the
meat"
The poultry department of the state
college will be glad to furnish full in
formation regarding caponizing to
those who inquire. Such bulletins may
also be had from any county agents Of
flee or from poultry supply houses.

Arinda Wilson Enyard

ArIuda Wilson Enyard
 Arinda Wilson Enyard, daughter of the late Isaac $. and Caroline Gilmor Enyard of Plainfeld, N. J.. passed away at Putnam, March lo, 1923.
 Miss Enyard died at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Henry Converse. Center street. Saturday night. She had never been physically strong and it was due to her health condition that some thirty years ago she came 10 Pomfret from her Plainfield. \. J.. home. After one or two years she removed Co Putnam and had lived in this commu- nity ever since.
 A few weeks before she died Miss Enyard was confined to her room pneumonia developed and 1t was this that caused her death.
 During her more than quarter cen tury in Putnam she had made many friends and performed many deeds of philanthropy in her quiet way. She was a highly educated woman and was a lady of the greatest refinement. She was a lover of the best in htera- aure. art and music, and was herself a piano player of more than average ability. She also wielded a versatile pen and commanded an extensive use of the English language.
 On account of her health condition Miss Enyard did not take an aggres- siye part in any of the eity's eeonom- ic. philosophic. or social affairs, but her quiet support and her ready purse were always available in every move ment for the public good. She sought the best people for her friends, and passed quietly about the city. often calling upon those more severely af- flicted than herself, and brought hope and cheer to many q home of q shut in," and oft times in an unostentatious manner left behind little tokens that helped to buy those small luXuries that could not otherwise have been had.
 Miss Enyard had passed middle age, but to the casual observer seemed in the best of health. And up to some weeks ago she had been about the city apparently as well as usual Few of her many friends realized that her condition was so serious, and only q few of those closest to her knew be- fore she died that her life had been despaired of Her death therefore came suddenly and as a shock Go many who had known her intimately and as a citizen of Putnam as she passed from day to day about the town.
 Miss Enyard was born in Plainiield and received an excellent education. Her mother died many years ago, but her father lived to a ripe old age and passed away about a year ago. He was one of the oldest wholesale mer- chants in New York City, and one of the oldest residents of Plainfield. He left a considerable estate to his two daughters, Miss Enyard of this city and Mrs. Carrie Carroll, who lives in the home in Plainfield. Miss Enyard had often spoken of the benefcences

she intended Co make. but SO far as known she passed on without carrying out her expressed purpose. due Co the suddenness ef her taking away.
 The funeral service was held from the Converse home at l o'clock Mon day afternoon, Rev. J. C. Stoddard of the Baptist church officiating. On ae= count of III health Miss Euyard's sis ter was unable to be present. She was represented by Mir. Walsh of the Flainfield Trust Company. with which Miss Enyard's father was connected at the time of his death. Two solos were sung by Miss Mildred Bard, Mrs. Samuel Rich playing the piano accom- .paniment. \ commitment service was also held, following which the body, accompanied by Mir. Walsh. was taken to Brooklyn, N. Y., for inter ment beside her father and mother in Greenwood cemetery.
