. Common sense on poultry raising;. Poultry. 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 wings too close together, as would be the case without them. The cross-bar on staple allows you to use the upper part for a handle. This will be found very convenient during caponizing. One point of staple is longer than the other. This enables it to enter the board much easier. By cutting six or seven holes in the board it will take any size bird. B is the strap loop with a pin across the top to pre-. Table No. 1.
