A SAD JOKF. A practical joker perpetrated a joke by sending to Senator Quay a nicely bound book entitled on the cover "What Congress is Doing." Senator Quay opened it, looked through it, smiled and laughed. Then he passed it to Vice-President Stevenson, who did ditto, and then sent it to Senator PefEer, who did ditto, and thus it passed around the Senate and all over the grave, seigniors did ditto. They thought it a good joke. But there are lots of people in thi3 country who would reliih the joke more if there wasn't quite so much truth in the jest.

The look which so excited Senatorial mirth was fiHed full of black pages. Wilmington Star. THE DIFFERENCE. Mrs. Anna L.

Diggs, of Washington, the Washington correspondent of several prominent papers, got her dander up one day recently and wrote the following for the Times of that city IJ. S.

VERY MYSTERIOUS.

A writer in the Courier-Journal hits the truth squarely on the head when he says that the real struggle in this nation is no longer between the North and the South, but between the arrogant and greedy East on the one hand and the toiling millions of the West and the South on the other. We have long been convinced of this fact, and why the masses down this wav should allow themselves to be deluded by the cry ot "nigger" when the plutocrat is the same everywhere, whether he fought with Lee or with Grant, is something that partakes of a mystery to us. Richmond Evening Star. OUR CLUB EXCHANGES. That we may be more enlightened as to what is going on in the different parts of our great country, we ought to diversify 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 Dreiudices 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'f or the paper with The Pro gressive Farmer for one year. Renewals for the other papers cannot be taken at the club rates, but all new subscribers can.

Worth, S. B. A. FERTILIZER FOR COTTON. In response to a freauent inauirv bv the brethren in regard to giving cotton for fertilizer, I have succeeded in ob taining a contract which may be of service.

For 300 pounds of middling cotton, delivered o. b. at your depot, not later than the first day of November, 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 bear in mmd 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 ol 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 ac cording to direction of the company. All brethren wishing to avau them selves of this opportunity, will please direct their correspondence to Durham Fertilizer Company, Durham, N.

who will give all the information desired. In no case write to this office about this matter. The above arrangement does not in any way effect our present contract. Fraternally, W. H.

H. S. B. A. IMPORTANT NOTICE.

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 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 a portion of the neck bone, then just before packing, 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, 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 packages. If you have any old bull turkeys, Sut them in a separate package or with To. 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. Dr.

Hard Times Fertilizers I desire to call the attention of the members of the Alliance who have still, notes and unpaid accounts for fertilizer, to the fact that the Durham Fertilizer Company have been ex-trfimftlv lfinienfc with them durinsr the financial depression, and have waited on the Alliance people ana nave carried their notes and accounts in a time when it was extremely inconvenient to them, and caused them many hardships, but they did this with the pur pose of protecting and helping the Alliance 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 us fertilizer again this spring, and a payment to them now means a credit to you again in the spring. So do not delav another day, but send the monev to them at once. This is lm- 1 1 na portant and must be attenaea io once. Wc are going to furnish you the same high grade goods that we have done heretofore, and do all we can to accom-mnrffttfi vnn this vear.

but to eet this favor you must pay up what you owa Fertilizers are ready for shipment now for the spring trade, and you can send in your order. W. l. worth, i 11 1 DIRECTIONS For Preparing, Packing and Shipping Poultry for the Boston Market. Killing and Dressing.

Brown, Sec'y. THE WHOLE TRUTH. The grannies of conservatism are assuming the "holier-than-thou" air in regard to the Coxey movement, as they do about everything else. They are trying to make people believe that because the South has shown little or no sympathy with Coxey 'a methods everything is as it should be down this way. They surely know better, but even if they were right if all our people were prosperous and employed at remunerative wages it would only go to prove how narrow and selfish the aforesaid grannies are, in that the rest of the country and the world may go to destruction so long as their own section doesn't suffer.

I have read with much care your new work, 44 Labor and Capital, and I pronounce it a valuable addition to tho reform literature of the day.
