Market for Capons 
Is it considered practical in a general 
! way to gmw capons, and what conditions 
might make the practice especially profit¬ 
able or unprofitableV At what time sire 
capons usually put upon the market, and 
at what ageV What should they weigh, 
and about how does the price compare 
with that <>C other fowls? Are they mar¬ 
keted alive, the same as other fowls? 
Dealers around here probably never saw 
a capon, and do not quote prices. Would 
it be practical to ship direct, to some com¬ 
mission firm? My principal market is 
(Tevolund. Cun you tell me if that is a 
good market for capons, and could they 
be shipped alive by express to more East¬ 
ern markets? Do capons require any 
special care differing from other chickens, 
and do they require more feed than other 
chickens? Are they any more likely to 
die, other than during the operation, than 
other chickens? I raise Barrred Plymouth 
Kooks. I, b. I.. 
Ohio, 
There probably aren't any general rules 
of value in regard to the raising of capons 
for the market, since special conditions 
govern the matter of profits. I have no 
personal knowledge of the business, but 
am of the opinion that few will find 
cupon-ruising as a specialty profitable un¬ 
less so situated as to be able to dispose 
of their product at better than ordinary 
prices. The Eastern States and large 
Eastern markets are to be preferred by 
capon producers, the vicinity of Phila¬ 
delphia being a center for that business. 
It would seem as though Cleveland should 
he a good market, but Inquiry of poultry 
dealers there would give reliable infor¬ 
mation on that point. Capons arc pro¬ 
duced from the males of the heavier 
breeds of fowls, and' are usually marketed 
at about 10 months of age. and from the 
holidays on through the Winter, They 
should be dry picked, with the feathers of 
the head and neck, outer joints of the 
wings, tail and part of the back and a 
portion of the legs left in place. They 
can, of course, be shipped to poultry 
dealers in distant cities, but. express 
charges would necessarily cut down 
profits. Capons are easily raised after 
caponizing, and require ipraelicnlly the 
same foods as other fowls up to the time 
of fattening. They are quiet, docile, and 
stand confinement well. It is probably 
fair to say that, except possibly under 
special conditions, it is better to dispose 
of early hatched cockerels as broilers and 
to caponize only those that are of too lute 
hatch to reach broiler size reasonably 
early . Raising poultry for meat purposes 
only is a precarious business, m. b. d. 
Roup 
T have quite a few White Leghorns, 
and several of them in different pens have 
sore eyes and run matter. 1 take them 
out} as soon as they show the least signs 
of it, but stilt I have new cases every few 
days, I understand what the disease is, 
but do not understand why new ones 
keep coining down with it. They have 
a good, clean house, with plenty of air. 
Another disease that has taken quite a 
few of my Leghorns must be a sort of 
cold. Some will be coughing for a few 
days, and then start choking, and hardly 
get their breath, and others would show 
no signs of sickness and then a few hours 
later would be choking to death. The 
other day , one hen was trying tq breathe 
her last and I was going to put her out 
of her misery. I happened to look in her 
throat, and saw the top of' windpipe was 
tilled up, so as T was going to kill her, t 
took a toothpick and dug out the stuff 
in windpipe and she has breathed normal 
ever since, and seems all right. It was 
a yellow, thick substance in windpipe. 
Is there anything to <rive heu to cure this 
before it gets to the last stage? 
Marlboro, N. IT. L. C. 
If this trouble is true roup, and not 
simply a discharge due to colds or ca¬ 
tarrhal inflammation, there is some source 
of infection within the floelc; perhaps an 
old half-cured case that does not show 
any marked symptoms, but still carries 
the genus of the disease and transmits 
them to other fowls. Try to get all sick 
fowls out of the pens and clean up the 
Utensils with boiling water, giving the 
flocks, at the same time, fresh, clean litter. 
The choking that, you speak of is due 
to a. fungus "rowIh that is derived from 
moldy, musty litter, leaves or other veg¬ 
etable matter, or, possibly, in some cases, 
from musty food. This fungus is inhaled 
l»,v the fmvl, and attaches itself to the 
membrane lining of the respiratory tract, 
producing what is called brooder pneu¬ 
monia. When there is an accumulation 
at the entrance to live windpipe, it may 
he removed by a sliver of wood, as you 
have described, and the fowl is given an 
opportunity to recover. The throat of 
any bird showing sudden evidences of 
choking should be examined, and if a ring 
of yellowish matter is seen at the en¬ 
trance of the windpipe, this should be 
gently removed by a toothpick or sliver 
of wood, which may have a bit of cotton 
tightly twisted about its end. Where the 
fungus has invaded the deeper tissues, 
beyond reach, there is little to he done.
