Determine Time
for Caponizing
Age and Size Of Fowl to Be
Operated On Are Of Great
Importance.


prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Within the last few years the busi-
ness of producing capons has grown
rapidly in this country, and increas-
Ing numbers of capons are being
raised in the middle western states.
During the winter months capon is
regularly quoted in the markets Of
the large eastern cities. Massachu-
sets and New Jersey are the great
centers for the growing OF capons,
while Boston, New York, and Phil
adelphia are the important markets.
Time Not important.
The time of year when caponizing
should be performed, so far as the eff
fects Of the operation and the rapidly
and ease of healing are concerned,
Is of little importance. The capons
seem to recover and do well at any
time. Certain other considerations.
however, do influence the time, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The age and size of the
:ockerel are very important. AS soon
as the cockerels weigh one and q
half to two and a half pounds, or
when two to four months old, they
should be operated upon. The lower
age and weight limits apply particu-
larly to the American breeds, while
the higher apply to the Asiatics. If
smaller than this, their bodies do not
give room enough to work handily.
On the other hand, they should never
be over six months old. as by this
time the testicles have developed to
considerable extent, the spermatic
arteries carry greater amounts of
blood, and the danger of pricking
these arteries and causing the fowl to
bleed to death is greatly increased.
Demand During Holidays.
The fact that capons are in great
est demand and bring the best prices
from the Christmas season until the
end of March, and that 1t takes about
ten months to grow and finish them
properly, makes it important to hatch
the chicks in early spring so that they
will be Of the proper size for capon-
lzing in June, July and August. These
are by far the most popular months
for the operation, though in some
cases 1t Is performed still later.

OPPORTUNITY FOR n. OAK.

Later results of the state primary
election have had an unexpected
turn, favorable to the Independents.
The latest information available is
that the Independent candidates for
attorney general, commissioner OF
agriculture and labor, state auditor,
secretary of state and possibly ma
jority of both houses of the legisla-
ture have been nominated. The leg
islature however, is very close. and
at this time it appears there will not
be any great change from the line
up of two years ago, unless the Nov
ember election decides otherwise.
The chief loss independents have
suffered is in the nomination for
governor, as Mr.. Sorlie nonpal tisan
candidate, has safe majority OF
about 5000 over Governor Nestcs.
Governor Nestos was the victim of
several campaign handicaps, among
them the individual candidacy of
l. J. Moe, who made very effective
appeal for economy in showing
large number of employees in all de-
on the monthly payroll. This at
tracted attention and was intended,
and no doubt did take votes from
Governor Nestos.
The Independent forces we've not
entirely favored by the democrats OF
the state, in this primary contest,
as they have been heretofore. The
contest in the democratic ranks in
which two candidates contended for
the nomination of governor, took
votes from the Independent column,
as opposing the League candidate.
A general resentment by the farm
ers and businessmen Of the state on
the failure of the national republi-
can administration to enact certain
farm legislation, especially the Nc
Nary Haugen bill, had its undoubt-
ed effect in the vote against Gov
ernor Nestos, who was held to rep
resent the agencies that caused the
dissatisfaction. Mr.. Nestos himself
no doubt contributed to the loss of
votes by failing to measNe up to the
altitude which many of his former
supporters expected of him, as gov
ernor, during two administrations
and during two legislative assem-
blies. But the governor had hard
task to restore normal conditions of
government in state affairs, by re-
moving obstacles and correcting
conditions inherited from his lea
que predecessor.
The primary election gives all po-
litical factions an unusual oppoItun-
ity to accept the decision of the >ot-
ers and join hands in an honest eff
fort to improve the financial and in
dustrial conditions in the state.

The origin of the Serbs is obscure.

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW

Hope you can come early next
week for your visit, dear Bee. Les
lie called me up yesterday to tell me
that she was going to celebrate her
wedding anniversary the last of next
week, and wanted me to add my plea
to hers that you would surely be
here for that interesting occasion.
Just why any one should want to
celebrate a wedding anniversary is
something cannot fathom. Any
anniversary is bad enough, but a
wedding anniversary is the worst Of
the bunch. I'd rather have a birth
day party, and Lord knows my birth
days have been showed into the dis
card for quite few years now.
You would laugh, Bee, if you could
see his Rcyel Highness, John Alden
Prescott, these days. He's an entire
ly different man since his wife came
home. From his actions you would
think that he felt he had done some
terrible thing in inviting me out to
dinner q few times while his wife
was away. Since her return he has
gone away glumly every day to eat
his luncheon alone, and every time
he has passed me and said: "I'm 60
ing to luncheon, Mrs. Atherton,"
he's given me queer little look out
of the tail of his eye as though he
were specializing as to whether
had expected him to ask me to lunch
and was disappointed because he
didn't do it.
