WILL BE HELD ON TWO DAYS'
Friday, February 1st, and
Monday, February 4th,
Instead of Saturday, February 2nd, as adverltised.,
orwo -oleo.AAAAAmovvvrooroor4AAA
This change is owing to the fad t that the -Go ernor-
General has proclaimed Saturdayas Neinorial Da this
being the day that the Queen will be buried.
The small boy is 1:1 o longer condemned to wear t le cut.
down clothing of the older brother; it does not pay till labor,
we sell cheaper, and it is well. People no longer bi y the
cloth and take it home to be made up, ; it is done bett r here
and clreaper by us, and it is well.
Time was when a suit would, wear until it wa moss
grown --the price of the suit was high. Now a __suit wears
from one to two years, and is respectable at the end f the
term; and the'price of the same is about a quarter of the old
time price, and it is well,
The good old fashioned days of a year's and two years'
credit havefor the most part, passed.. People who are wise
pay the cash, and. it is well. Merchants like ourselves who
pay the cash fo: their goods, save fr6131 five percent. to ten,
per centon the goods they buy, and for that reason they are
able to sell so much lower in price, and it is Wen.
.
Instead of 'hanging on for your price for odds and ends
of goods, v -ire believe in making certain pricesthat will induce
people to buy these artieleS on certain days We call these
days Futurity Sale days; and it is well.
The conditions of selling on these days are that all goods
kare.sold for the cash—no goods allowed out on approval. If
tbe sizes of the goods are not right Or the fit a little out, we,
will exchange the same. Every day bring S better values:
than the past days, and it is well.
We never found that there was ever a disappointed' cus.
tomer on one of these days. _ It is well with' the ba. er, it
will be well with you should you attend then on either Fri-
day next or Monday next, as the case may -be

Table Poultry For England.
( ritten for TUE EXPOSITOR>)
. The toninion Department of Agriculture
gives thi fellowing information relating to
the breeds of poultry whose chickens fatten
most prnfitably. We are pleased to note
the advaneeme,nt of chicken fattening in
Canada, arid would advise all farmers in-
tending to fatten their chickens, to raise the
suitable beeeds recommended by Professor
Robertson.,
Since the preferences in every market de-
termine what sort of goods is most readily
sold in that market, in catering for the high
class poultry trade of England, the qualitiee
sought for in the besb table poultry must be
considered- Tbeee qualities are : Plump-
nees of )rest, whiteness ef skin, fineness of
grain, ern Ilness of bone and absence of
offal.
Breed ng stock, whose chickens fatten
profitably and are suitable for the beet
English 1 Markets, consist of fovvls of a
square hope, with long, broad breast and
straight keel. The wimp of large size and
tho corns as small as possible. The birds
must be Wive, healthy and vigorous ; the
chicken should be hardy, mature early and
fatten readily. Heavy -boned and heavy -
logged oultry must be avoided.
Wit regard to the breed of fowl to be
made u of, the barred Plymouth Rock has
fattene very satisfactorily at the Domin-
ion Go rnment poultry fattening stations.
At the ondville, Quebec station, Mr, Hill-
house ttened a number of barred rock
cockerel that when dressed and ready to
pack hit the caees, weighed eight pounds
each. orhe of these chickens were exhib-
ited at 0 FatStock Show, in Guelph, On-
tario, la t December, and were greatly ad-
mired. Whilst they all had bright, yellow
lege, th skin of each chicken was perfectly
white. T,hit color of the skin is due to the
feeding. Not one of the several thousand
chicken shipped to England last year from
the poul ey fattening stations had a yellow
colored kin. Legs must not be dark or
black i color. All other qualities being
equal, yellow legged chicken brings the
same pr co in Eastland as one having white
legs.
In br eding Rooks for table quality, select
a male sird with short legs, and with a
small, 1.w comb. The English poultryman,
rememb r, buys the head and lege of the
chicken, and pays lees per pound for chick-
ens wit long, heavy legs and large combs.
Do not evelop these useless qualities.
Whit Wyandottes fatted well at the
Whitby Ontario, fattening station. They
are eup rior to the barred Rooks, in that
they ha 6 less offal, that is, smaller combs
and lig ter bone; they do not, however,
fatten t es heavy birds. The chickens ma-
ture qui kly, and are plump broilers at al-
most an age.
Throu !lout Canada, chicken fattening is
developi g into an important branch of ag-
rioultur The above breeds of poultry,
barred poke and white Wyandotte, are
recommended for tattening purposes by the
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
To .bow that they suit the high class
English market, I quote the following letter
from the dgenti of the Department of Agri-
culture In London, England:
"Chiekens were in good condition; the

Cases marked 'A' (Whitby) particularly
good, as bright and sweet as poesibie, and in
splendid condition, The dealers that hand-
led these goods said they were as fine chick-
ens as they ever handled, and Would only
let their customers have one or two cases at
a t me, as they would sell for best prices to
pa ties that demanded the very best clays of
goo e. They were prepared and peeked in
the bait manner ; eases _the right size. These
chi kens compare very favorably with the
bee English fowls."
