SPECIAL

Special attention is called to the fall
Price List of tne Business Agency,
which will be ready for distribution
August 1st.
We believe that we now have the
best contracts for many classes OF
goods that we have ever had, and that
we will be able to offer to the brethren
almost every article they may want at
prices never before obtained. we VIII
give in addition to our usual list a dry
goods, notion, shoes, pants, ETC., most
of which will be shipped out from Ral
eigh. Lot, numbers, descriptions and
prices will be given so that no n need
make a mistake. The pants we quote

our own people all the work. We have

NOTE TO THE BRETHREN.

have just returned from a trip to
Norfolk, Va, and I find that it pays
the farmer when shipping beef cattle
to only ship those in frst-class order
smoothe, well-fattened, stall fed cattle
and weighing 700 to 900 pounds: This
is the most desirable weight. There is
nothing that pays better than the extra
condition in which you can place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only 81 to 8 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. 1 wish5.also to say that u
brethren lose by sending very small
sized chickens to market. They
are hard to dispose of at a very
low price, while good, we'll grown
chickens are ready sale on a dull mar
ket at fair prices. Be ready for the
egg market which will open about the
1st of September next. Our Boston
house is anxious to haDdle eggs in a
load lots weekly. N me but first class
eggs should be handled.

THE ALLIANCE PRODUCE Elk
CHANGE.

DEAR BRETHREN The Alliance Pro
duce Exchange" is open for the hand
ling of farm products. We do not
purchase your products but will sell
for you to the best advantage possible.
Write us what you have to sell and
will let you know about what we can
get for it. Eggs are higher here than
in New York and we have been getting
better prices. Think we will be able
to handle more and more as our plans
for putting only fresh eggs on market
become known. Poultry is in great
demand and we think for the next
three months if not all the summer it
will bring remunerative prices. Can
furnish shipping coops and simply
charge rent or sell them to you if de-
sired. We can handle bacon, lard,
fish, wheat, -four, corn, meal, potatoes,
&c. Prices r lower on all products
than they have been for years. We
have sent notice to all of our shippers
not to send any more eggs North for
the present as it does not pay. There
were more than 30, 600, 900 eggs sent
into New York last week. We will
try to handle all poultry and eggs
shipped here to your advantage. Do
not send eggs by express unless rates
r very low.

DIRECTIONS
For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.

For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing.-Food in crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no ase
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS o as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold 20 a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrailS, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
FacKlng.-POuItry should De enClrely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
tie No I stock Of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 3 stock in separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them IN a separate package or With
No. 2 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but W. use straw In packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight. and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility OF the
contents shifting about, Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
r inconvenient to handle, and
liable to get injured.

See how the figures are arranged,
and you will discover the object, that
is, to prove that the farmers pay only
about one-third of the taxes, really not
half as much as the State pays for edu
c%atiOnal purposes, to say nothing of
the pensions. Their cross roads stump
speakers will no doubt blate this all
over the State, thinking that as the
State Auditor has shut down on the
Peoples party and will allow no mem
Der of it to have a copy of his report,
that the truth will not be known and
the falsehood will do it's work uude-
tected and undisputed. We happened
to get a copy of the Auditors when it
was first published, to which we refer
red when reading the Handbook, or
we should not have made the dis
covery. We find on page SO, part II,

Individualisn and Socialism.

Ever since man secured leisure
enough from the struggle for existence
to think, and especially to advise his
fellows what they ought to do, states
men and thinkers have divided into
two classes. -individualists and social
lists. The theory of individualism is
that the purpose of government is to
give every man a fair chance to make
the most of himself, by protecting the
life and possessions of the Individual
from violence or theft. The socialistic
theory is that a state or nation is a
great family, over which government
is to exercise paternal care. It may
not go as far as communism, which
puts all earnings into a common fund,
| but it holds that the government ought
to assist some of the children by taking
from the others. An outgrowth OF
these ideas is the proposal to have
telegraphs, telephones and railroads
owned and managed by the govern
ment. The individualist claims that
in European, states, where this is done
to some extent, the results are not
promising. The railroads Of our
country have been built and managed
on the individual plan, and we have
the largest and finest systems in the
world, among which the Burlington
route stands pre-eminent. For maps
and time tables of this famous line, cal

Sales Of Land Daily and Scores Of

the County.
Since the first Of March at least TO-
900 acres Of land in Mile Laos county
has been sold to actual settlers, and
many Of them have purchased only 40
acre tracts. Last week Aug Rines
closed one deal involving 2,l2O acres
whereby forty new families -industri-
GUS Germans from Illinois will be
brought into the county. M. S. Ruth
erford is transacting wholesale land
business, and is doing more toward adj
vertising the county than any other
one man. He is making sales daily.
Every day new settlers are COM
ing in and the demand for real estate
continues brisk. No county in the
Northwest offers better inducements to
settlers than Mile Laos Rich and
productive soil, an abundance of fuel,
good pure water, excellent schools, and
good markets. Land is not held at ex-
orbitant figures. Good wild land can
be had from SIS to $l5 per acre, and on
long time. The proceeds from five
acres of potatoes, in an ordinary year,
will pay, over and above the expense OF
raising, for a forty acre tract. The
great cities Of St. Paul and Minneapo.
lis, Duluth and Superior are only two
hours ride from the county seat O.
Mile Laos county. These four cities
are the distributing points for the
Northwest. D.. .>
