12 CAPONS FOR PROFIT. 
Capons stand crowding. While there is a limit 
to the number of laying hens that one can keep 
with profit, there is practically no limit to the num- 
ber of capons. You can keep as many as you have 
room for. They will do just as well when in a 
flock of a hundred, than when there are only a dozen. 
They are hardy, and remarkably exempt from dis- 
ease. Their appearance and bearing is peculiar, but 
they are handsome and interesting nevertheless. 
I have always felt a great interest in the subject 
of capon making. But I can tell you that I have 
never taken more comfort among my poultry, or felt 
prouder of them, than I am doing this year among 
my first good-sized flock of capons
