48 CAPONS FOR PROFIT. 
intestines. You will finda heavy layer of fat around 
the opening, and the intestines covered with it. As 
you pull out the intestines, push the fat back into 
the bird, and when you come to the end of the in- 
testines push your finger up into the body, along 
the intestines, and separate them from the gizzard, 
leaving everything else inside the bird. The layer 
of fat around the vent may be turned slightly out- 
ward and thus allowed to cooland harden. The 
bird will look all the better for it. Then hang him 
up inacool place. When thoroughly cold he will 
be ready for boxing and marketing. 
New, clean boxes should be used for shipping 
capons. Nothing, in fact, must be neglected to 
make the packages as well as the capons look neat 
and attractive. Line the boxes with clean white 
paper. Printed paper should never be used. Pack 
the birds down in layers, backs up, as solidly as can 
be, yet without bruising. You will have no diffi- 
culty in finding a market for nice, large, fat, well- 
dressed and well-packed capons at acceptable and 
profitable prices.
