narrowing.

The SOW at narrowing should be in
good flesh, but not too fat. A week
or ten days before narrowing she
should be confined to a pen separate
from the other hogs and in a quiet
place. Her keeper should take the
time to 60 into the pen and fondle her
so as to gain her confidence. During
these few days she will become &C.
quainted with her quarters, and will
feel secure from outside intruders.
says a writer in American S%wineherd.
If he goes in the pen often she will
o be glad to see him, for, like any
other animal, the hog likes company
and gets lonesome when left too much
alone. There is no animal that ha;
been domesticated that is more intelli.
gent and tractable than the well-bred
hog. When she is about to farrow she
will begin to fix up for the quilting
by making her bed in proper shape.

rubber boots and shoes have been

Several new companies, however. have

the usual result of competition has
followed. Prices are down, and the
public will get the benefit. The

the above Rubber Company. These
goods were sold at considerably lower
prices than the Trust goods, and
bentley & Olmsted were warned by
the Trust that if they continued to
handle outside brands they would dis

using part African, which is much
cheaper, and has also added several

To turn into immediate cash.
The very fact of Boston Store managing
the sale gives it an Importance which can
not be too highly estimated.
This immense quantity of high grade, ar
tistic clothing, made from the best OF
American and imported wOolens, will be
literally sacrificed at half OF its real
value.
his sale is the opportunity of a lifetime,
and we urgently advise you to take advan-
tage of what is really and truly the great
est loss ever incurred by any number Of
firms ever engaged in the clothing business.
Nothing but the immediate and pressing
need of spot cash to avoid n total ruin
would have induced these manufacturers
to take this step.
To give you q better idea of the way this
clothing will be sacrificed, we will assure
you that yOu can a you choice of it,
most Of it for n half of what it sold for in
New York, n in a great many cases it
will cost you only One-third of the New
York price.
We do not know how to sufficiently i'm
press you with the Importance of this sale
of clothing. All we can say is that it will
pay you over and over again to come to
Omaha to Boston Store and invest all YOU
can in clothing. Clothing is something
that you must need at some time or other,
and when you can buy it ut from one half
to ono third of the regular price, and new,
stylish goods at that, it is your duty to
yourselves to do so.
In addition to this clothing sale. we are
10Y having two great sales which it is also
to your interest to attend, one is a very
large stock of Dry Goods and tine other is a
well known shoe stock, both of which we
are selling at very much reduced prices.
