1 have calls for large quantities of
such eggs as we have been shipping to
Boston. Let each Sub Alliance take up
the plan sent out and do not wait for
returns. If you follow directions good

We have ordered thous 4nds of egg

greet the delay and expense in getting
the egg baskets from Boston to those
Subs that have ordered the past month.
Eggs will bring in Boston market 81

brother has shipped beef to- Boston.
We think it will be a losing business,
therefore do not advise such shipments.
We cannot recommend any other mar
ket for eggs at this time except Boston.
We can get more there net than most
of markets pay gross. Send orders Tor
five or more crates complete.
Our merchant writing from Boston,

the place of fresh eastern, and the time
is not far distant when they will take
the lead, providing you keep up the
system you have adopted. The eggs
like Mr.. w. S Barnes shipped will
always command top prices"

ture, it can be relied upon to hatch a
much larger percentage of fertile eggs
than the ordinary hatcher, at about
two-thirds the cost and trouble. No
better proof of the success of steam in
Matching chickens could be advanced
than the satisfactory reports that are
received from thousands who are con-
stantly using the Improved Excelsior
Incubator. Another advantage that
strongly recommends this incubator is
the low price at which it is sold, and
the high guarantee of perfection and
durability that accompanies each ap.

in poultry raising, and those who are

SPECIAL NOTICE.

Brethren are advised not to ship
poultry to any market hereafter with.
out first writing and getting specific
directions to what market they should
be sent, and to tUhOnp. A good market
this week may be a bad one next.

dition, and hold till the last of Jan,
uary or first of February. Usually
the markets are best about that time.
Markets are overstocked with wal,
nuts and hickory nuts.
If you wish to ship any produce
write us for shipping directions before
doing so.
To save expense in freight and time,
all egg crates will be completed and
filled with egg boxes and cards in Raj
eigh, and shipped from here. Eggs
for Boston should be sent to Norfolk
per freight or express, care Of NJ. and
M. Steamboat line. Do not ship per
express to Boston. Be sure and send

CHICKENS MATCHED BY STEAM.

A few years ago the suggestion that
chickens would ever be Matched by
steam would have brought down no
end of ridicule on the head of the
prophet, and yet to day, steam is recog-
nized by experts to be the most efficient
means of incubation. A clear iIlustra-
ton of this is found in the well-known
Excelsior Incubator, manufactured by
George H. Stahl, of Quincy, ILL.,, to
whom is conceded the credit of having
perfected the steam method of incuba-
ton. The introduction of the Excel
sior Incubator and it's improvement
from time to time, marks a new era in
the poultry raising industry. Built
upon the best lines, fitted with i'm
proved automatic device, that never
fail to accurately regulate the tempera-
ture as demanded by the laws of Ia

DIRECTIONS
Fol Preparing, Packing and Shippin,
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 Wors 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 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 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
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.
