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 portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warn weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the nclslon as small as possible, and
leave the glzzard, heart, ETC., in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can 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. fyou 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 r
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes r
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.

FERTILIZER FOR COTTON.

In response to a frequent inquiry by
the brethren in regard to giving cotton
for fertilizer, / have succeeded in OBJ
tanning aSContract which may be of
service. For 300 pounds of middling
cotton, delivered f. o. b. at your depot,
not later than the first day of Novem-
Der, 1894, you can get a ton of N. O.
Alliance Official guano, the guano to
be shipped from any point you may
prefer from which the company ships.
You pay freight on the fertilizer, the
company pays freight on cotton.
No Y, bear in mind that the cotton
must be middling, and if it does not
grade up to middling, you will have to
pay the difference between the price Of
middling and the grade you deliver.
You will also be required to guarantee
the weight of cotton SO delivered, or
have it weighed by a sworn weigher at
point of shipment. Of course your
shipments Of cotton must be made &C
cording to direction of the company.
All brethren wishing to avail them
selves of this opportunity, will please
direct their correspondence to Durham
Fertilizer Company, Durham, N. c.,
who will give all the information de-
sired. In nc case write to this Office
about this matter.
The above arrangement does not in
any way effect our present contract.
F~raternally,
w. Fl. WORTH, S. B, A.
Feb. "a, 1892.
N. B.-The prices of guano adver-
tised and sent out from this Office are
without interest and payable at the
dates mentioned. If not paid at ma
turity, interest will be charged.

NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
t%ilizer, 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
to furnish usfertilizer again this spring,
and a payment to them now means a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is i'm
portant and must be attended to at
once.
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-
modate you this year, but to get this
favor you must pay up what you owe.
Fertilizers are ready for shipment
now for the spring trade, and you can
send in your order.

The overproduction fad is getting
th~read-bare. For the past few weeks
the receipts of all farm products have
been remarkably small" is the way
they express it, and prices have ruled
low, yet prices have declined. Even
the repeal Of the Sherman law and veto
of the seIgnorage bill has not proven a
panacea. The wheat crop is 120, OOO,-
600 bushels short and still the price
rules low. The overproduction doctors
ought to make another diagnosis and
declare the patient is suffering from
cerebro spinal elphantasis and needs a
mustard plaster on the North Pole.

OUR CLUB

That we may be more enlightened as
to what is going on in the different
parts of our great country, we ought to
diversity our reading. More Western
and Northern papers ought to be read
in the South and more Southern papers
should be read in the West and North.
Believing this the best thing to do to
everlastingly obliterate the prejudices
of the past, we have arranged a list of
papers to offer with The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. The price in the parenthesis
is the regular subscription price of the
paper and the other figures are what
we charge for the paper with The Pro
GREssTvE FARMER for one year. Re-
newals for the other papers cannot be
taken at the club rates, but all ne1U
subscribers can. You can renew for
our paper and get the club rates:

The advertising agency of n. ".
Aver & Son, of Philadelphia, is un-
questionably the largest and probably
the best equipped of any in the United
States. 1t has more and larger patrons
than any other, and, taking one thing
with another, it is questionable whether
they are not entitled to the credit of
securing for their patrons better ser
vice than can be counted on from any
other. It should be, and doubtless is,
a great source of pride and satisfaction
to Mr.. Aver and Mr.. Mckinney that
they have been able, while remaining

been secured before by any advertising

BLOW TO WHISKY MEN.
Decision by Secretary Carlisle on
Reimport Duties Which viii
Cost Them Dear.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-Secretary
Carlisle today rendered a decision on the
question of the proper duty to be assessed
on re-imported domestic spirits. The sec
rotary holds that such spirits, after being
withdrawn from bond after the date upon
which the new tariff act went into effect,
August %, is subject to a duty equal to
the internal revenue tax imposed by that
act, namely, $1.10 per gallon. The con-
tention of the importers was that the duty
to be assessed should equal the rate Of
internal revenue tax in force at the date
of transportation, which in this particula
case was 80 tents per gallon The secre-
tary comedies that if the duty had been
paid at the time of Importation, which
was prior to August %, the duty. would
have been imposed according to the rate
Of internal revenue tax existing at that
date 1t is learned that this decision
will affect YER, large quantities of spirits
which were exported just prior to the
three-year bonded period and subsequently
imported in order to take advantage Of
the additional bonded period permitted by
law
