KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Plea.se find inclo.sed $1.00 for Gleanings for 1898. I 

 could not CO without it — must have it. It is getting 

 better every day. Fred. Holtke. 



Newark, N. J., Dec. 7. 



A few days ago I sent you S^l.OO for Gleanings, and 

 the 1st number, Nov. 1. is here. The contents were ,so 

 interesting I did not rest until I went clear through 

 it, advertisements and all. H. W. Bass. 



Orford, N. H., Nov. 17. 



ARE our agricultural PAPERS RESPONSIBLE FOR 

 THE CHARACTER OF THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS? 



You are doing exactly right. It is a .step in the right 

 direction, for I am of the opinion that a paper or 

 journal of any kind that will advertise for as bold a 

 thief as C. B. Cline is almo.st as guilty of robbing his 

 fellow-men as the man who does the stealing, for we 

 expect to gain knowledge by reading the papers, and 

 not be robbed ; and if you feel like it, give them " fits " 

 for helping such a man steal from hi.s fellow-men. 



Black Ivick. O., Nov. 17. D. N. Ritchey. 



SHAKING OFF A BAD HABIT. 



Mr. Root: — Perhaps you will remember my writing 

 you a year ago that, if I took Gleanings another 

 year, I thought I should give up smoking. I smoked 

 constantly — had a pipe or cigar in my mouth nearly 

 all the time, and even went to bed smoking. I stop- 

 ped over eight months ago, and have had no desire foj 

 It since. It was reading Gleanings that fir.'it put it in 

 my mind to stop. I have felt better since than I ever 

 did before. I thought it might please you to think I 

 liad stopped although I have never met you. I have 

 read Gleanings for a number of vears. 



Patterson, N. Y., Dec. 10. " J. S. Ludington. 



[Friend I^., your testimonv comes verv opportunely 

 for the first number of the year; and it not only 

 pleases me, but it will plea.se niore than one reader o'f 

 Gleanings, if I mistake not; and I should not be at 

 all surprised if it induced somebodv else to follow 

 your example. The tobacco habit must be overcome 

 largely by personal work.]
