CAPONIZING SET, COMPLETE, $2.75. 



The advantages of capons are much larger fowls, sweeter 

 and finer meat, and they sell at a much higher price. They 

 will rear and care for many more young chicks from an 

 incubator or hen, than a hen will, on account of their large 

 size. They like the young chicks' company, neither hens nor 

 cocks having any use for them. The hen after bringing out 

 a brood, coop and feed her up for a few days, then let her 

 run with the flock and she will lay again. Capons do not 

 require as niucli food as cockerels, on account of their quiet 

 nature, the food all going to flesh. 



Fifty to one hundred per cent, more profit is made on 

 capons. 



Our book : Practical Caponizing and How to Make 

 Poultry Pay, contains forty pages, of which twenty-one 

 are devoted to caponizing, witli eight illustrations of tlie 

 operation at different points photographed from life, is sent 

 free with each set.

 plated spreader, both well adapted for the purpose; our 

 improved German-silver cutting and twisting scoop, with

 and four German-silver hooks attached to cords for quickly 

 securing the fowl ; all in a fine velvet-lined ease, sent to any 

 address, by mail, on receipt of price, $^2.75. 



GAPE WORM EXTRACTOR. 



The disease commonly known as Gapes is caused by 

 a small worm in the windpipe of fowls. When the chick 

 seems to gasp frequently it is a sure indication of Gapes, and 

 it should receive attention at once. The opening of the 

 windpipe is in the back end of the tongue, by pulling the 

 tongue forward it can more readily be seen by tho.«e who are 

 not familiar with the organism of the chick. By holding 

 the breast of the chick to the light, and stretching the neck 

 out straight, the light will shine through the skin, enabling 

 the attendant to see down through the windpipe, and the 

 Gape "Worms, if thei'e are any, can plainly be seen. Our 

 Worm Bxtractor is so constructed that it can easily be 

 inserted into the windpipe of the chick. Fig. 1 shows posi- 

 tion of hands, chick's head and instrument. The tube is 

 inserted to the ring a, which serves as a stop. The loop is 

 then pushed down as far as it will go. . The construction of 

 the tube is such that the loop is kept in an open position, and 

 by giving the tube a few turns the loop scrapes the inside of 

 the windpipe and loosens the worms, at the same time 

 twisting itself into the form shown in Fig. 2. The instru- 

 ment is withdrawn as shown, holding fastand bringing with 

 it such ^vorms and matter as it has come in contact with. 

 The operation takes but a few moments and can be performed 

 by anyone. Onechie'k .saved pays price of instrument. 



Every instrument guaranteed to cure if used according 

 to directions. Price by tnail, postpaid, 50 cts.

From all parts of the country, evidence of the remark- 

 able properties of Imperial Egg Food has been received. 

 The condition of the fowls is so improved, and egg produc- 

 tion so increased, in winter as well as in summer, that 

 poultry becomes the most profitable stock on the farm. It is

 chickens will never be seen. It supplies all the needed 

 material for forming bone, muscle and feathers, and, by its

 able fowls. They will also be fitted for market a month
