CAPONIZING HOW IT IS DONE, 97 



To bring them to their full and most profitable size, 

 they should be kept until the second year. By giving 

 them corn-meal steeped in warm milk, and providing a 

 warm house, they will grow during the whole winter, 

 and their flesh will become very white, sweet, and juicy. 

 A good capon of one of the large breeds will weigh 12 

 to 15 pounds at 22 months old, and will bring at the 

 holiday season $3.50 to $3 each."
