%CAPONIZING AN OLD
ART--ADDS TO PROFITS

The art of %caponizing has been
known for 1000 years and has
been practiced by the Greeks and
Romans as well as by people OF
medieval times according to far
mer's bulletin No. $40, entitled
"Capons and Caponizing." Al
present, caponzing is well known
to many poultry producers and
the practice is being used with
profit by more and more each
year.
1t is not difficult to caponize II
the work is done at the right time
and with ordinary care the per-
centage lost is small. Increased
profits from larger, better quality
birds offsets the slight loss in
Cured at the time of operation.
Caponizing should be done
when the cockerals are from 8 TO
10 weeks of age and never later
than at 6 months of age. Best re-
suits are secured from the young
er birds or at the time they weigh
IL to 21a pounds.
Rocks, reds and wyandottes
make very good capons, but larger
breeds such as black giants, Ian
shangs, cochins and brahmas are
to be preferred as they make a
larger capon. Lighter breeds such
as leghorns, anconas, ETC., do not
make good capons and it is doubt
full if it ever pays to operate on
these breeds.

The free brake tests which are

Automobile Association and the Metro
politan Police Department, will be
continued until Wednesday. May IL,
according to an announcement made
at A. A. A headquarters yesterday.
The continuance of the test was made
necessary because Of the demand for
brake testing on the part of motorists
of the District of Columbia An aver
age Of more than 125 cars n day have
been run over the brake testing ma
chimes during the week
Out of the IT'S cars on which the
brakes were tested, 25 per cent were
found to have brakes which would not
stop the car within the distance re-
quired by the local regulations. The
District of Columbia traffic regula-
tiOns require that the foot brakes of
an automobile shall be capable of
stopping the car from a speed of 90
miles per hour within a distance of
so feet
While the percentage of cars with
Illegal brakes was comparatively low,
the number OF cars with unqualified
brakes was surprising to police and
traffic officials. Ninety-five per cent
of the brakes tested were found to be
unqualified. condition which causes
the automobile to slow or skid in the
direction in which the greatest brak-

Country Wild With Rage.

! "You remember, of course. the gen
| eral lines of the great conflict over
| the disputed election of 1876. The
Democrats claimed the election of Til
den as President and the Republicans
| claimed the election of Hayes. No
such situation had ever arisen before
Each party charged the other with
trying 10 steal the presidency through
fraud and each was determined that
the crime should be prevented. The
country was wild with rage and
threats of civil war were freely made.
1t was only years since the War of
Secession had ended. and now there
was danger Of a bloodier one, because
in this case the dividing line would
not be sectional and every city and
farm in the Union would be a battle
ground.
You have always heard that the
country was saved by a new device
invented on the spur of the moment
by Congress. This was the creation
of body unknown to the Constitution
or the laws, and called the electoral
commission. This commission was to
pass on the votes in the disputed
States and decide whether Tilden or
Hayes had carried them. The commits
sion decided in favor of Hayes and he
became President Therefore, the
creation of this commission saved the
Nation from war and perhaps destruc
tion, and made a President.

Der that it has ever come up much
in conversation. But it is true. The
doors of the White House stood open
to Tilden and swung to in his face
because one Democratic member of

Republic Before Party.

From this situation, from the great
est danger the country has ever been
in throughout its history except in
1861 it was saved by one sentence
spoken with hardly a moment for pre-
meditation, by one patriotic Democrat.
In uttering it he threw his party out
of power for four years and deprived
great statesman of a Presidency
which his fellow Democrats believed
the voters had given him. But it is
hardly too much to say that he saved
the Republic. For no one can imagine
what would have happened if March
q, 1877, had arrived to find the coun-
