VINELAND, CAPONADE is0 ad-
ministered by injection into the
neck of the chicken. Any ordinary
syringe can be used-hOweVer for
convenience of handling and for
efficiency of operation, it is recon-
mended that a special stainless
steel automatic syringe, developed
by Vineland Poultry Laboratories.
be used. One loading of this syringe
(which is fitted with a one-inch,
Is guage needle) will treat 500
birds with a Is mgm. dose, $50
birds with a 10 mgm. dose, and
1850 birds with a mgm. dose.
VINELAND CAPONADE will not

GRAFTON. 1t does not require any
special handling. 1t is as effective
in hot weather as in cold.
When CAPONADE is injected
into male birds, they lose their
typieally male characteristics and
take on the appearance of pullets:
the wattles and combs become
shrivelei and faded; they stop
growing; fighting among the birds
stops almost completely. The cock
erels acquire a rounded, full
breasted appearance with fat de-
posted in the musculature. The
skin becomes smooth and glossy,
and the meat becomes juicy and
tender, with an improved flavor.
When straight run flocks are
CAPONADED, there is no down.
grading of the flock because of
riding of the pullets by the cock
erels. Their normal sexual actfvi-
ty has been subdued.
Pullets materially benefit from
a CAPONADE injection, too. They
seem to mature more quickly; they
put on more weight, and have a
more desirable finish than untreat-
ed birds. They acquire the finish
one expects of ready-tO-lay pull
let.
Where To Inject
VINELAND CAPONADE is in
jected in the loose skin of the back
of the neck of the bird as near to
the base of the skull as possible,
never more than one inch below
the base of the skull. This is to
make certain that any possible
residue is removed with the head
and discarded when the bird is
dressed for market.
Young pullets and cockerels
treated with CAPONADE show a
marked increase in feed consumD-
ton with sc to 4S hours after treat
ment, ard as a result, will add
weight rapidly. A CAPONADED
bird should gain from one-uuarter
to one pound more weight than an
mtreated bird.
What Dosage To Use
/. For birds six weeks of age
A 6 mgm. dose of CAPONADF
is sufficient to give these small
brOilers a quick profitable increase
in weight so they may be marketed
sooner than untreated birds, or if
kept for the usual number of
weeks, will dress out heavier than
will untreated birds.
2. For birds from six to eight
weeks of age:
A 10 mgm. dose of CAPONADE
is recommended for birds of this
age where the intention is to mar
ket the broilers between 9 and II
weeks of age
3. For birds eight weeks of age
and older:
The ideal time to use CAPON-
ADE is on birds of eight to 10
weeks Of age. A single Is mgm
dose of CAPONADE administered
at this age will result in "a we'll
developed bird with good finish
ready to be marketed in 4 to 6
weeks. If larger, heavier birds are
desired, second Is mgm. iniec-
ton of CAPONADE at 12 to Ia
weeks of age will produce an un-
usually tender rOaster of excellent
flavor that can be marketed at IS
to IL weeks of age.
Regardless of what dosage is de-
sired-6 mgm., 10 mgm. or IS
mgm.-it all comes out of the
same bottle. There is only one
CAPONADE product. and by a
simple adjustment of the syringe.
the dosage is set.
