Wolfe Poultry raising is Increasing very much In popularity all over the south; better stock Is being raised and more Intelligent methods are be Ing utilized than in the past. But very little attention Is being paid to I circumstances, the use of the making of capons. It Is really surprising how many farm- era do not even know what a capon is. A capon is a male bird with h!s testicles or reproductive organs re moved. Capons demand much belter price? on the market than on ordinary fowls inasmuch as their meat Is uperior in tenderness and flavor. Southern c! ties that are annually visited by northern tourist ought to bo good markets for these castrated birds. Then besides their value as an edi ble they are almost Indispensable to poultry raisers as care-takers of large broods of young chicks. They can care for more, and In a better way for the chicks, than a hen can be cause they are larger and have more plumage. Neither hens nor cocker els will associate with a capon and as they naturally desire company they will take care of young chirks and go with them un'ii the chicks grow up and leave (hero. Wh< hr* a T hen hatches out her brood take them from her, give them to the capon, shut her up and very soon she will go back to faying. Capons will take chicks of any size, at any time and under almost any They are especially valuable to the poultry raiser where incubators are used. The greatest trouble iti this method being the raising of the chicks after they have- been hatched. Capons attain greater weight as well as better meat than other fowls. They^ can be dlstln guished from other male birds by their greater size and smaller heads The larger breeds are the best to be made capons for meat produc lion while the smaller and more ac tive breeds make better care-takers. The operation of making capons or caponlzlng is comparatively simple and the average person can perform It with a little practice. The instru ments required are a caponlzlng knife, a pair of separators, a' pair of pinchers, a scoop spoon and a small hook. The knife and pincers are jtsuall> combined and the scoop spoon and the hook are made to gether very often. Sets of these In struments can be bought at a price from two dollars to five dollars.

Kalns, In the American Ag rlculturlst. Following this plan meant a greater corn crop for the south ant better farms: The south Is able to grow corn. Testimony Is in from every south ern state, proving rora to be one of the most useful and profitable crops; It shows, too, that corn is the basis of successful southern farming. t'th more demands all around, higher prices for food, clothing and other in cessltles, and all social requirements greater, It is now out of the question to farm profitably on purchased corn. When labor was abundant, cotton high und corn cheap, a different order of things could rule. But this ol der has changed. Corn uow come? first In the list and calls for at ten tlon from every southern laud tiller Cotton Is not to Le replaced, bin corn is to have more general em ployment. More corn means hotter fed animals, more animals and a more profitable system of fartali-g. The southern pork barrel must b> kept filled. But everyone snows that cotton will not till It. The pork barrel is associated with corn, pus lure and forage crops. Because ol this, 1 wnnt to urge a stronger in tercut In corn this year, not only for larger acreage, but for better pro parntian of soil and closer attention to the details of cultivation, that not only a larger total j ield may be pro dueed, but that a far greater pro duction an acre may also be secured. 1 shall, therefore, continue to talk corn uml write about corn for tin south with more urgency than evtfr. 1 have, grown corn too many years not to appreciate and understand Us wonderful possibilities; uml nowhere have I been so well pleased with the crop us In the south. A corn crop rightly ami wisely raised is not only profitable but most satisfying. Noi a single southern farm can afford-to ignore corn this year. Besides, i : is not fashionable to farm these days without giving corn a conspicuous place in the farm plans. And right now, 1 want you to think about corn for this coming year. It is not one bit too early to begin ac tive planning; iu fact, uow is the right time to begin the preparation on many lands if that work has not already been done by good, thorough full and winter plowing. The old method of ridging up a few furrows will no longer suffice In the modern corn field. Corn land should have tillage of the best and most effective sort. To be at Its best corn requires deep till age and 8 to 10 Inches Is not too much. If, however, this land of yours that Is to go In corn Is accustomed to shallow plowing, it will not do to plow it deeply all at once. Several plowlngs must be resorted to that the seedbed may be gradually deepened An inch or two deeper at each plow- Ihg will do the stunt. But the en tire field should be turned just as deep as Us condition will oertnit this year. If your soil has been fall or win U r plowed, an occasional disking will be just the kind of treatment this and will need; and this work you can ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ o ♦ ♦ juest of many subscribers the following recipe 1 for white wash, which has been tes.- ed and found good. Slack one-half bushel of unslarked J lime with boiling water, keeping It J covered during the process. Strain C. Our catalog, containing a list of over it and add a peck of salt dissolved 1 two hundred ami fifty torius, furnished In warm water. Add also three I free upon request, pounds of rice put in boiling wau <1, We have recentlv equipped our office with a complete stock of Legal Blanks, which we will furnish you in any quanti ty, from a single copy to a thousand copies, at the lowest prices. and boiled to a thin paste; one half pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue dissolved In warm water. Mix all these well together, and let the mixture stand for several djtvs. Keep the wash .thus prepared In a kettle or portable eep up until planting time. This j furnace, and, when used, put It on as hot as possible, with painters' or whitewash brushes. This whitewash has been found by experience to an swer on wood, brick and stone near- continual condition; it will keep th surface soil loosened up, enabling wall r lo get down deep Into the sub soil; and by preventing evaporation It will hold the water In storage iu the soil for the growing season later on. You know corn requires u good deal of water, and even though the mount of rainfall is large iu the muth, much of the water is lost and the crop suffers during mid-summer. A big storage supply, secured during the winter and spring season, comes in handily when hot July and August are on. Keep Seed and Fertilizers in Mind You should give close alttnlion to seed at this season, also. If your supply has not been selected careful ly, If It is mongrel and of inferior stock, then it will be money In your pocket to get seed from some corn breeder or good farmer who has been growing seed with some skill and who has taken more than the usual care of It during the winter season. But test your seed, even if you buy It. A lug crop or corn means a right start. Corn of low vitality and of indifferent germinating power Is not fit for seed purposes. You will at tills time also glv ■ some thought to fertilizers; but Just lentonther that fertilizers pay little when the land Is Illy prepared. Vo dribble a little fertilizer dope iu the hilt or row is not a promising per formance if you are after a big yield of corn; on the other hand, if the soi* ht(3 been well plowed ami the seed bed thoroughly prepared, fertilizer? will usually he responsive, even if bul a small quantity is used. The best land tor corn is an old pea stubble or a crimson clover field The pea stubble can he plowed ear's :Uus admitting of one field of corn to be planted early in the \season. The crimson clover can either be pas tured off, thus supplying hogs, cattle or oilier live stock with early spring pasture, or it can be made into hay. in the latter case it means late plow ing. but it is still in time for ensilage. If it is your good fortune to possess a silo. Get out of the habit, also, of plant-1 ing corn so far apart. Rows 6 feet apart, with single talks in them from 3 tof> feet, is a waste of effort and a sure start for a small yield. A little calculation will show that you won't have ears enough, even if large, to make a satisfactory yield. Put the rows closer together; 4 feet apart is ample. And have a stalk of com on an average for every 24 inches. This will mean business. It will mean more corn, less work and more profit. All hands now for a greater southern corn crop. Iv aH well as oil paint, and it is much cheaper. If the large farm birds unlimited range has advantages as a poultry keeper be has also some I disadvantages, and there Is no doubt that with the reported results of re cent research to guide him. the small land holder ran now have hts In nings. And he will find himself on ns safe ground with only a few acres devoted to Intensive poultry culture as if he had a realm stocked at the rate of only a few birds to the acre. The roving hen is, indeed, said to be a rolling stone, gathering no moss.

The rations of the free-range hen cannot be regulated with the nicety vith the hen in Health and physical vigor are two main points that are generally sought iit poultry.
