of merchandise is varied and fresh,
and comprises nealy every thing one

in business and most favorably known.
Altogether, we can hardly see what is

is not charged for.

Saving Hay.

We cordially endorse the following
from the Mindcn Index. There is
nothing like hay for your starving cat
tic in tho winter. They will cat grcad-
lily any kind of grass, even that left to
die in the fields. In Il very few days,
hand can save enough crab swamp or
prairie grass to winter Il horse or milch
COW, until the spring grass again puts
up. a poor horse or COW is walking
shame,in this fertile land to any farmer,
with even one acre of land. Say. the
Index:
Now is the time for farmers to save
hay. There are thousands of grass in
your corn fields, that will make the
finest of hay. Your cattle will need it
during the cold blcaky winter months,
You can sell it for good price. Then
will you leave it in the field for the
frost to kill. Save it now while the sun
shines. Hoe it down, cure it and stack
it away.
