Capons Pay Best.
A few years ago capons were sel
dom found on sale except in some
of the more exclusive markets, in
the largest cities. This was largely
because poultry raisers hare only in
recent years learned that caponizicg
insures not only a higher price per
pound for their fowls, but an increase
in weight for each bird. A capon not
infrequently attains a weight of from
fourteen to sixteen pounds, cr prac
tically twice that
rooster of the same breed. And with
other conditions similar the meat is
always sweeter, always tender and
usually just fat enough to make a
good appearance and readily salable

above that of ordinary poultry.

Com and Plymouth Recks.
A hen should not have a very
great quantity of corn. It soon makes
her too fat. This is esprecially true
of the larger fowls. The Leghorn Is
more of a runabout and seldom gets
too far for good laying, bat Plymouth
Rocks are not to be trusted with too
much corn before them.
