I MAKE CAPONS OF COCKERELS Fowls Must Be Kept Growing Every Moment and Should Have Reasonably Rea-sonably Largs Range. The very best cockerels must be selected for cspons. They should be good sited, vigorous. A large frame is necessary If much flesh Is to be put upon It and In breeding for capons one should select a strain that matures as early as possible. Tbe capons must be kept grow. Ing every moment and they should have a reasonably large range. If confined too closely they are apt ' to become droopy and sick. While ' not particularly active they thrive ' better If they have a reasonably 1 large run and they seem to take on ' fat better. 1 Too many people make the mistake r f waiting until within two weeks 1 ot marketing before fattening their ' birds. If they are to be sold ta Jsnu-1 Jsnu-1 ary they should be pushed tt least 1 six weeks to get the very best results. 1 This will produce a Urge, fat capon that will bring a fancy price If packed tn clean, white paper In a cleaa box.
