CHICKS 
The larger they are, the more per pound 
they will bring. They bring from thirty 
to. fifty cents a pound and should be 
marketed any time between February 1st 
and April 1st. They bring much more 
dressed than on foot, therefore we prefer 
the dressed ones. To dress them we 
hang them up on the clothesline by the 
feet and cut the two veins or arteries 
where they come together in the back of 
the mouth. Then stick a sharp knife in 
the roof of the mouth into the brain. 
Then the feathers literally fall out. 
YV hen plucking them leave a ring of 
feathers around the neck, head, tail and 
feet with a ring of feathers around the 
legs and the feathers on the wings to the 
first joint from tip. Dry pick and never 
scald. Before killing them, pen them for 
24 hours without feed and water.— Mrs. 
George Weiss. 
Why We Raise Capons 
T. M. Smith 
TN PLANNING our farm work, we 
* try to have something to sell each 
month in the year. Raising capons fits 
in our plan very well as we market them 
after the crops are harvested. We can 
sell our surplus cockerels either as 
broilers or capons but if the broiler market 
is low we make capons. Our pure bred 
flock of Barred Plymouth Rock chickens 
produces strong, quick growing capons 
which fatten easily. The capons find a 
better market when all are the same size 
and color than if mixed colors and sizes 
are sent together. We can easily tell 
the cockerels from the pullets at an early 
age because they are much lighter in 
color. 
Few Folks Know About Capons 
When delivering a fine bunch of milk- 
fed capons it was necessary for me to 
stop at the post-office. When I re¬ 
turned there was an interested group 
admiring them and one asked me what 
they were. “Capons,” I replied. “What 
is the difference between a rooster and a 
capon,” he then asked. “A capon is a 
rooster that has been desexed.” “Do 
you do this to make them lay eggs,” 
some one asked. “No, they will not lay 
eggs, neither do they fight and run the 
flesh off like roosters, making better use| 
of their feed.” The capon grows much 
larger than the rooster on the same feed 
but the meat is juicy and tender as young 
frying chicken. Best of all the price for 
capons is much higher than other chickens, 
sometimes selling higher than turkey.” 
Experience Reduces Losses 
“Do you lose many when caponizing,” 
he then asked. By using a weak disin¬ 
fectant for washing our hands and 
instruments and separating the capons 
eight to a coop after the operation our 
losses have been very small. For the 
first few days we keep them where we can 
catch them easily to open any that heal 
too fast, forming wind puffs. After they 
are well they are turned on free range and 
enjoy catching bugs and worms. Last 
season they patroled the sweet potato 
patch and would frequently bring up 
moles that they T caught. Their scratching 
among the potatoes did not hurt them 
as we had a fine crop. 
Make Good Brooders 
We have some capons which we 
will keep to brood our chicks this 
spring. In the fall these mama capons 
will go to market and weigh heavy. 
The hens can keep on laying and there 
will be no brooder to buy and no fuel for 
it. The manure from the capons is 
carefully stored for use on our crops in 
the spring saving us many dollars on our 
fertilizer bill.
