FRAUDS IN ALABAMA.

The New York Recorder prints the
following, which is one of the many
charges of fraud made by the Kolbites
about the recent election in Alabama:
James Biggs, a travelling man for a
Buffalo house, is in Cincinnati. He was
in Alabama the day of the election,
and says the frauds perpetrated in
favor of Oates were of the boldest and
most shameless character. In Dallas
county he saw armed men at the polls
compelling negroes to vote for Oates.
Not content with this, the boxes were
openly stuffed. He was told by an &C
quaintance that at a dozen places the
majority for Oates was greater than
the entire legitimate vote of the dis
trict.
Biggs heard of six or even negroes
who were bruea'ly murdered, not one
OF the cases being reported by the news
papers.

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. All 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 oon 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 i~ntestines, 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 to 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.
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 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 never 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 more
liable to get injured.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

1 desire to call the attention of the
members Of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
tilizer, to the fact that the Durham
Fertilizer Company have been ex-
tremely lenient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
ried their notes and accounts in a time
when it was extremely incOnvenient to
them, and caused them many hard
ships, but they did this with the pur
pose Of protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help. Brethren, you now have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe it
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money

NOTE TO THE BRETHREN.

Ihave just returned from a trip to
Norfolk, Va, and 1 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 d to 3 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. 1 wish also to say that I'll
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 a
load lots weekly. None but first class
eggs should be handled.

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 IN 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,
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, 600 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
are very low.
