Has Just consummated two Of the
largest purchases ever made by
them since their removal to Chi
cago.
The largest and most notable is
of One Thousand Imported Paris
and Berlin Garments. Being too
high cost for general trade, and
the season advancing, they were
sacrificed to US at less than SO cts.
on. the dollar.
We therefore shall be enabled to
offer them at popular prices. AS
an illustration, we have marked
about one hundred of the Cheap
est at $18. These Garments cost
us in September last Sag, and our
selling price for the same was $35.
The second is Of one single pur-
chase OF Twenty Thousand DOL
lars ($2o, ,ooo.oo) worth Of SEAL
DOLMANS.
Our success in Seal Garments
this year has been SIMPLY
WONDERFUL. The reason for
it we think is the fact that we ask
no fancy prices, being willing to
sell them at an ordinary margin
above cost, as we are amply able
to do, not being dependent on the
profit that we make on our Fur
Garments alone, it being only
small part Of our business COM
paratively.
These goods will be marked and
placed on sale on Monday, Dec. &.
An early inspection is earnestly
advised, as there is always choice
in a large purchase of this sort,
more especially in Seals.

THE PROPER KIND OF Fowls TO BREED.
- + a person wishes to breed fowls to size.
to he sold in the market by the pound. let
h III choose one of the varieties of Brahmas
o. Cuch rs. Ofthese the light Brahma and
p rtriiae Cochin are the best, the hardest
and handSo rest. If he wishes fowls for
eggs let him choose the brown and white Leg
ho,n ne. These are the size of ordinary barn
yard fowls-very active, snowy and attrac-
tive, and most persistent layers. Pullets
hatched in March or April begin laying
early in the fall, and under proper treat
ment, lay steadily through the winter. To
insure a bountiful supply of eggs IN winter
fowls should be comfortably housed in very
cold weather, and fed two or three times a
week with warm cooked food, well seasoned
with red pepper. A warm mush, made
by boiling scraps of meat, table scraps and
bones, and thickening with. wheat, bran,
and meal, seasoned with red pepper, is the
very best winter feed. Feed this IN the
morning and grain in the evening, and your
for's # comfortable housed, will give you
SIMPLE return in eggs.

It will be seen from the above that cotton
seed meal has no superior rs a fesh-ftrn,er'
and that for fattening it Is better than
every other article of stock feed. In a very
short time it has established itself, both IN
this country and Europe. as the food for
beef cattle and for dairy purposes.
In the report Of the Massachusetts State
Board Of Agriculture of 1866. we Ind the
following from II. 5. Potter. OF Hatfield,
in that State. the largest stock feeder In
New England:
I'm regard to cotton seed meal. | have
been using it for the last ten wears with
great success. not only for dairy purposes.
but more especially for fattening purposes.
I have used it in small quantities three
quarts a day-mixed with Indian meal aud
shorts. and | have found it very beneficial.
n = For fattening purposes have
never seen ANYTHING equal TO 1t. hnd that
those cattle which have been ted with cot
ton seed meal and Indian meal always weigh
the best. and, so far as my experience goes,
feeding with cotton seed meal has been a
great success. | have used it for fattening
sheep with great satisfaction.
Mr.. Leander Morey, OF Cumberland, Il.
l.. makes the following statement to the
Department at Washington: Il have seven
large and excellent cows coming IN at different
times of the year. | market all my milk
selling the year rouni. After purchasing a
new COW it takes me a year or two to bring
her up to her full capacity. In summer
give each cow two quarts of cotton seed
meal and from two to four quarts OF Indian
meal. with English and Swale hay. If out
of cotton seed meal one day my COWS shrink
one quart each. neither Indian meal noI
wheat shorts will bring them up to the full
quantity. After again feeding the cotton
seed me i once a day they regain their usuaI
product"
