AURORA, N. G.
I have mustered up courage after a
long silence to give you a few dots
In the first place will say that Bro.
V D. Alien and 1 went to the County
Alliance, which met with Old Ford
Sub Alliance, six miles from Washing
ton, and despite the sayings of the
enemies of the Alliance, 1. e., that it
was dead, if l am any judge it was a
live corpse, for we had a splendid, har-
monious meeting, and, judging from
appearances and news from different
parts of the county, it promises more
life in the near FIGURE than it has at
present. 1t seems to me that the
farmers and laboreTs have let the last
ray Of patriotism there is 10 them die,
if they let the Alliance go down while
there are as many wrongs to be righted
as we are now suffering under. Ii Bro.

YARD
R Ting

Beginning with spring, say the first
of March, the markets of the country
will be found rather bare of poultry,
both alive and dressed and will remain
so until toward the first of May. The
offerings during this time will be
smaller than during any other time Of
the year, ard the prices realized the
best. Poultry shippers will observe
that the severe and sudden fluctuations
in prices that years ago marked the
course of the markets at certain TIMES,
especially during the winter, no longer
exist. The market is steadier, and
fancy prices can no longer be secured
at any stage of the season or year. The
more uniform prices prevailing every
where now ARE due to various cause
Cold storage is an important factor in
this connection, for many such estab-
lishments in the principal cities have
supplies ready to throw on the market
when prices advance. Independent of
cold storage stock, considerable could
at any time be drawn from various
shipping points, so that II hours often
materially alters the situation.

POULTRY RAISING.

Study the wants of your birds, says
a Missouri poultryman. A change of
diet is often ne cessary.1 IN the spring
when their systems are changing, they
need easily digested, cooling food, just
the same as you 90. If you study your
physical self, you will know what to
feed and how often a change is zee
sary. Unless you keep your birds in a
healthful condition, the chicks will not
be vigorous. If any of your birds are
sick, or off their feed, try and find out
what ails them. Use your mother wit
and don't dep nd on the reasoning
power Of others. Do not breed from
immature stock; if you do you will
have roup. and other diseases. Old
birds are better to breed from than
young. There can be no rule laid down
to show the amateur how to success
fully raise good birds, but never let
them stop growing. Follow natures
methods as near as you can in every
thing, and above all, don't attempt to
raise too many varieties. One breed
is better than two, two are better than
three, and three are better than more
How many well known breeders made
a reputation On more than one breed2
A word to the wise is sufficient.

ney has instructed Minister. Taylor to
make vigorous representations to the

from the island of Cuba on the grounds
that it amounts to practical confsca-
ton of goods in Cuba owned by Amer.
leans. The data on hand at the state de.
partment, supplied by the collectors of
the Florida ports, show that the cigar
men OF Tampa alone have 500, 900 worth
of tobacco in Cuba paid for and subject
to delivery and that for oil the other
Florida ports there is as much more.
1t will be impossible for the merchants
to get this property out of Cuba within
the. prescribed time, and Minister Tay-
lor has been instructed to make such
representations to Spain: as will secure
ample time in which to secure this prop
erty. 1t is believed that the tone q. Mr..

suit.
