Advantage of Caponizing-- The advantage of caponizing. is that the operation tends to increase the quantity of the flesh, and at the same time retains the quality to a greater age than is the case with cockerels. They make .good eating even when a year or more of age. Capons may be allowed to run to- gether without harm, they do not, however, put on flesh so much faster than cockerels as some writers would have one believe. Best Breed to Caponize-- Any breed of fowl may be caponiz- ed, but those best suited on account of the commercial demand for large cap- ons, are the heavyweight or general purpose breeds such as Brahmas, Wpyandottes, Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Island Reds. However, for home use and for certain trades, the light weight breeds as Leghorns make excellent capons, Best Age to Caponize--. The best age at which to caponize is when the birds are from two to three months old or before the sex instinét is pronounced. In every case the operation should be performed be- fore the sexual proclivities appear. The Operation-- The cockerels to be operated on should be starved for from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. Water may be supplied during this period, as it will aid in clearing the intestines, to en- sure success the bowels must be empty, Do not attempt the operation if they are not. Whenever "possible, caponizing should be done outdoors on a bright, sunny day, preferably between the hours of 10 am. and 4 p.m. when the sunlight will strike, almost directly above the operating table and into the abdominal cavity. The bird is placed on a table on its side, a string fastening the wings pass- ed over a nail on the edge of the table, and one fastening the legs over a nail in the opposite side of the table, at a sufficient distance and angle so that weights, which are |allowed to hang free on either side of the table, serve the double purpose of keeping the bird motionless, and stretching the body as much as possible. The feathers on the flank, covering the last two ribs are then plucked; and the surrounding feathers flattened down and the bare skin washed by means ,.of a sponge soaked in disinfecting solution. Locate the last two ribs, stretch the skin towards the hip, make the inser- tion and insert the spreader. The in- cision should be about an inch and a half long, the top end of it begin the same distance from the backbone. The thin tissue-like skins, in two layers, covering the intestines must be torn away by means of the small hook attached to the probe. spest our Fomplete : The testicles--of which there are two, one on each side, of a light yel- lowish colour, the same shape and us- ually about the size of a small bean-- should now be visible, attached lightly to the covering of the spine and lying near the ribs. If it is not in view, the intestines may be gently pushed aside with the probe, until it can be located. The forceps are now used to grasp | the testicle firmly, care being taken Under the Authoritative Direction of C. Elford * Dominion Poultry Husbandmen 'With Specialized Information Contributed by G. W. Miller Author of Coldbelt Poultry Course. with the Copyright Act, | not to seize the artery immediately | above it, for if this is ruptured a hem- orthage will result, and the bird will soon bleed to death. The forteps be: ing closed the testical is withdrawn, | the ligaments by which it is: attached being twisted two or three times in doing so. The ligaments usually give way readily, but ii they do not when the testicle is clear of the opening, they may be severed abbut half an inch below it. The spreader is now ta- | ken out, the bird placed on its other! side and the operation repeated, There should be little or no bleeding, but in the event of there being any, it can be stopped by applying a piece of absor- bent cotton. Some operators remove both testicles from the one side, but | this is not advisable. The Instruments-- There are a number of caponizing sets on the market, that answer the purpose very well, there is a set made in Canada (The Burdin) that as far as our experience goes is more suit- able than any foreign manufacture, It is advisable to have instruments made for the purpose Little Suffering-- Generally speaking, the birds suffer little during the operation, and the wounds heal very rapidly, Until they are healed, however, it is advisable to feed the capons almost entirely on mash and liquid;-and to keep them in a pen supplied with plenty of soft lit- ter. It sometimes occurs, that a few days after the operation, air puffs ap- pear under the skin near the wounds; these are not serious, and can easily be pricked to let the air out. Questions to Lesson for Week End- ing Aug. 18.-- 1. When does it pay to caponize? 2. Can an amateur operate with rea- sonable assurance of success? 3. What better growth does the cap- on make over the cockerer? 4. What other uses than the table can the capon be used for? Answers to Questions in Lesson for Week Ending Aug. 18.-- 1. (a) When one has a good market for the capon, or for any large roas- ter. (b) When the best market comesin January or February; at a time when the cockerels are too staggy or coarse, (c) When it is impossible to keep the cockerels until they are ready for mar- ket, because of the annoyance to the pullets, 2. Yes. If he goes at it intelligently. Make sure that the directions are un- derstood, sce that the tools are in good shape and disinfected. (Don't hurry. Do not have the birds too old and see that they are starved so that the bow- els and intestines are empty. Some practice on dead birds before attempt- ing the live birds. 3. In all experiments that we have tried we have failed to get any more growth on the capon than on the coc- kerel up to the time when the cockerels are ready for sale as roasters. The va- lue 'of the capan over the cockerel is that the tender flesh can be retained up till the bird is larger and also to the time that the market is looking for something choice. 4. They make good biddies for rear- ing chicks, and can be trained to look after a large brood of youngsters. They also make goad policemen in a flock of growing stock. ¥ J Township Councils WOLFE ISLAND. Aug. 4th Municipal Coungil met at 1:30 pom... Members all present. Minutes of last meeting approved.

If you were paid for putting into words the perfect shave, you would probably define it as . . . "the cleanest, quickest, easiest on skin." Because that's what 1000 men told us a really good shave should be. Now we ask you to judge how well we've put those three requisites into.a shiving cream. At our expense. We've put it. up to millions of men. And, having tried it, they refuse to use any other cream or soap. There are 5 distinct superiorities, shaving advan- tages, in Palmolive Shaving Cream. It cost us 18 months' work, 130 laboratory experiments; to perfect them. Now judge our work. You'll find cream multiplying itself 250 times in luxurious lather. You'll find that lather softens the most unruly beard in one minute--without any irritating "rubbing in." You'll find the lather remains rich and creamy for 10 minutes on your face, if necessary. (You'll find cutting easier, cleaner, because bubbles of extra strength hold cach Yair erect. This is imper- tant.' Finally, you'll marvel at the cool, soothed "after feel"--a result of the carefully blended palm and olive oils. We ask your judgment oii these points as a favor. Failing, the loss would be all ours.
