Parties wishing their wool worked
at our mill should not grease it, as we
have to take the grease off before we
can color it. We make no charge for
gre asing wool, except rolls, for which
we charge one cent per pound. We
would advise all parties having their
wool carded, not to grease it, as the
oil we use gives much better satisfac-
ton, in carding or spinning.
We will pay freight on all wool sent
us by railroad exceeding ten pounds,
to be spun or woven into goods.

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, we'll 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 al place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only % to 8 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. I wishEalso to say that our
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 handle eggs in car
load lots weekly. NDno but first class
eggs should be handled.

Special attention is called to the fall
Price List of the 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 will
give in addition to our usual list a dry
goods, notion, shoes, pants, etc, most
of which will be shipped out from Raj
eigh. Lot, numbers, descriptions and
prices will be given so that no n need
make a mistake. The pants we quote

40 different patterns to select from,

ranging in price from rs cents to 50 so
per pair. Our 50 so is a regular 81 90
pants We can also have pants made
on special order.
Shoes quoted on this list will be kept
in stock IN Raleigh and ready for quick
shipment, and prices quoted are f. o. b.
Raleigh.
Place orders for crimson clover seed
at once, as prices will probably ad-
vance.
Those having produce to ship North
would do well to correspond with ID.
We think we can be of service to them.
We again call upon the brethren to
place orders early for cane mills as the
time for using them is close at hand.
Two copies of the price list will be
mailed to the Secretary of each Sub
Alliance in good standing. One for
the use of Business Agent and the
other for the use of the Alliance.
This is fall price list. Many
goods will not change in price, during
the season, while others will fuctuate.
In order to inform you of these fuctua-
tions a list of corrected prices will be
sent out the first of each month, or as
often as changes are significant.
No one not a member of the Alliance
in good standing is entitled to the use
of prices.

DIRECTIONS

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. ALI poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon 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 arm 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 a be- sold 10 a
limited extent when there IS no ot:5er
to be had, provided tbere is no food IN
the crop, On entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices,
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
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
the No 1 stock OF uniform quality,
Pack the No 2 stock III separate PACK
ages. Tfyou have any old bull turkeys,
pu5 them il a separate package or viCh
No 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw In packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out. straight, and 6 that the boxes are
80 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
are iuconvenient to handle. and more
liable to get injured.

THE ALLIANCE PRODUCE EX,
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
viii 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 are 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 20, 900, 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.
