At Pretzfelder & Co.'S, $50 King ST.

Another word TO the good people Of Alex
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
us call and to inspect the offerings we have
been making for the last few weeks, it is need
less for US to gay anything in the way of ex-
planstion of what we are doing Our bar
gains are moro convincing than columns of
argument and cur prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward and who are suspicious Of 'sales'
gotten up now and then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say = few words to-day.
In the first place We want You TO under
stand that this is no fake" selling out. 1t
isn't done for pleasure, and 1t isn't done for
profit. Stern necessity caused the institution
of this SALE Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands cut in prices
regardless of the value, cost and desirabiiity
of the Goods, Wares and Merchandise VIC have
still on hand
The law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up, and wind up is the word even
if we have to practically give the goods away.
Now, if we have convinced you that this II
bona fide clearing out and have gained
enough of your confidence to have you be-
lieve that our object is TO get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, We will, for the pur-
pose of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE that
wo offer the bargains of lifetime, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de-
sirable goods. Figures, We know, don't lie, so
we will let them speak for themselves. Look
over our list carefully, and if you see anything
you want cut out the advertisement, and put
you finger on the article and come to us, and
you will get the stuff exactly as advertised
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see US 80 often lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain. word to the wise is sufficient

Yellow Italians Are Vicious.

There seems to be a sort of impress sion among the farmers in our own vicinity that extra yellow bees must be extra pure Italians. Judging by the way the orders have run for the yellow stock, this impression must be general; but every practical queen breeder knows that is mistake. The hve-banders are simply sports, selected for color, from Italian stock-that is all And, by the way, some of them sting; it would almost seem as if they had sport d little from Cyprian stock. We have quite large number of colonies of extra yellow bees in our yard, and our apiary has never had crosser bees, or bees more inclined to rob, than this year. They bred like Cyprians, and then stopped long be. fore the ordinary Italians. We shall get them all out of our yard another season, unless their temper and rob- ping propensities improve. - Ohio Farmer.

SETTING THE HEN.
Much Annoyance Can He Prevented by a
 Little Training.

Much Annoyance Can He Prevented by a Little Training.
 An exchange thinks that, this is a subject that seems to admit of a wide range of opinion. notwithstanding it is twelve years, brought up in the rural districts, could do successfully. There are many grown people. however, who look to their neighbors for informa- tion on this subject, and the neighbors think it such a trivial affair that they do not give the subject sufficient thought to enable them to eniighten those who seek the information. In other words, they only understand it practically and not theoretically Josh Billings made one point clear when he wrote: ''The best time to set a hen is when the hen is ready" but a difficulty presents itself just at that period When the hen is ready the owner is not, owing to the fact that the hen has chosen an unsuita ble place for matching, and here is where the trouble is. The owner wants to move
 
 and he finds she is very much ''set in her ways" and will not be moved, and as natural consequence in attempt ing tocompel biddy to hatch where she does not want to, sitting of eggs are spoiled and much valuable time lost very little training of the hen would avoid all the annoyance. When your hens begin to lay, suitable places should be arranged about the premises for nests, in secluded places on the ground, and when the hen has once appropriated one of these places to her own use all that is necessary is to let her alone. If there is danger of the eggs freezing, put china egg in the nest, and when she begins to sit re- move it and give her good eggs. In this way. success is probable if not certain.

Wonders of Prehistoric Art.

In one of the oldest ruins of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, number of very rare and interesting images, found in metal, have been uncovered. The images representpeople of Oriental ap- pearance and dress, as well as priests in their robes of sacrifice. They bear hleroglyphics of unknown characters and are elaborately wrought, with fine art lines shown in every curve. The images found thus far are of gold, either wholly or in part, and are coated with some unknown enamel, which has preserved them from all harm in the many years they have been buried in the soil

It Can Be Set Nicely with Adhesive Rub-
 Der Plaster.
 When a valuable fowl of some se- lected pure breed is'iniured, or the leg is broken, there is often no remedy and the bird is destroyed. In this connection we present illustrations sent to Farm and Field by Dr. D. E.. Spahr, of Ohio, who writes:
 About a week ago my little boy came into my office with a woeful countenance, bearing in his arms a beautiful young white Leghorn bullet that had met with an accident and had a broken leg. Fig. 1 shows how the limb looked at that time. I took a

Leaky Poultry House Roofs.

A small hole in the roof will do in calculable damage to flock by keep ing the house damp and cold. Evap- oration of moisture is always at the expense of loss of warmth, and the failure to stop crack may cause an expense for more food, as the body of the fowl is kept warm by the food, and the more comfortable the quar- ters the less food required. Dry cold, where the fowls are not exposed to the winds, will no cause as much sickness as dampness, and especially when the rain not only leaks down on the floor, but also on the fowls as we'll. Close the leaks before the weather becomes cold.
