Out Of the World.--Ws were not
aware until We saw q letter addressed
o a commission. : houss in this city, that
khere was any place quite so much out

he would see every week correct qua.

directions about preparing poultry for
market, Of the utmost value TO farmers
and poultry dealers.
In reply TO this he writes as follows:

Itis for just such benighted people
as this letter represents. that we have
published much valuable informatio
upon a subject Of so much importance
10 them--information that enables one
man to sell geese for thirteen cents
pound, while at the same time lot
from "Findlsy, Ohio" where they do
not take tho papers. belonging to the
writer OF the above letter, were sold
with difficulty at FIVE cents. Comment

force such people to read the matter
printed especially for their benefit. and
by which some other people are will
