Use a metal basin, clear water and a very small amount of carbolic acid. It will also be helpful to have several small pieces of sponge about the size of an acorn, so that in case of unusual bleeding the blood can be absorbed by the sponges, CAUTION. Be very careful to avoid tear- iug the large artery, for if this is torn or ruptured the fowl will probably bleed to death in a few moments. If reasonable care

If reasonable care is used, this tearing of the artery will not occur. f The lower hole in the above cut has been made in order to show how the Twisting Scoop slips the wire over the Tes- ticle. Of course this lower hole is really not in the fowl. It is merely to show how the instrument is Twisting Scoop Ready to Uemove Testicle <^ Pillinji-Karmer Twisting 8coop. Operating Table. There are numerous styles of tables on which to caponize, but ex- perience in this matter places our choice between two only. The top of an ordinary barrel (see illustration) meets all requirements as a table, admits of the bird being easily secured, brings the bird to the proper height with the operator, in brief, makes as good a table as can be desired. It costs nothing; there is always an empty barrel lying around, or one that can be easily emptied. For those, therefore, who do not propose caponizing on an extensive scale, we would recommend the top of a barrel. Whichever method is used, make it a point to have plenty of sunlight and the table so situated that the light will strike squarely on the fowl. You cannot have too much light during the opera- tion. The second illustration shows how a good caponizing board (or table) can be con- structed by the use of our Im- proved Staple A to slide over the wings of the bird. The staple has two fenders about one inch from the points to prevent forcing the bird's wi
