“ MOVED."—DELAYS. 
We are in our new quarters at last 
after a week’s hard work at “ moving.’ 
Some of our correspondence has been 
neglected in consequence, but now, with 
more facilities and plenty of elbow room, 
we shall Foon catch up. The editor tells 
of the removal on another page, in his 
inimitable way. Better read his account! 
THE $2,000 CASH AND THE “SPECIALS.” 
May 1 has come aDd the prize compe¬ 
tition for clubs of new subscriptions has 
closed. At this writing (May 2) the count 
is going on, and we hope by the time of 
the next issue to be able to announce the 
result in full. 
THE INDEX TO THE R. N.-Y. FOR 1892. 
Although several times announced, 
some of our readers seem to have over¬ 
looked the fact that we printed the index 
to The R. N.-Y. separately, and that we 
send it gratis to all applicant subscribers. 
We adopted this course in order to save 
the space in the paper. 
BIN DEBS FOR THE R. N.-Y. 
In connection with the index, don’t for¬ 
get that we supply a neat binder, in 
strong, stiff material, for holding the 
current issuesof the paper. This preserves 
the papers from week to week in goo'l 
condition, and saves them from loss. 
Price 75 cents, prepaid. 
Who Owns a Mailed Letter? 
This Is a question frequently asked, and one 
which is sometimes very Important. The Post Office 
Department and the Courts likewise, agree, we 
believe, that a letter Is the property of the writer 
until It is delivered Into the hands of the per¬ 
son to whom it Is addressed. The writer can, 
therefore, get It back at any time before flna 
delivery, by proving his Identity to the Post Office 
people. 
In a rpcent Interview with Drs. Starkey & Pai.en 
the discoverers and sole dispensers of Compound 
Oxygen, they stated that though they had for 23 
years received dally a very large number of letters, 
they could recall but very few fault-finding ones In 
the whole period. 
When It Is considered that this remedy Is most 
largely used In the treatment of Chronic cases— 
Consumption Catarrh. Asthma, Rheumatism, Dys¬ 
pepsia, Nervous Prostration, etc , at the pa¬ 
tient’s own home, the statement becomes all the 
more remarkable, and speaks In unmistakable 
terms of the standing and success of these spe¬ 
cialists. 
They further affirm that a pattent Is very rarely 
lost sight of: that they generally become friends, 
coming back as need prompts In later years, 
and sending others to secure the relief that they 
themselves have received. The following Illus¬ 
trates this: 
Centre MomcnES, T,. T., N. Y., Sept. 14,1891. 
“Drs. Starkey A Pai.en:— It Is a long time 
since I wrote you, but I think more of the C. O. 
to-day than ever. I have never been without It 
In the house and cannot do without It. I have 
not Inhaled the C. O. for a Rng time. I had the 
Grip and It. left me very weak; I tried Cod Diver 
Oil and other medicines, but nothing gnve me 
strength until I commenced the C. O. It gives me 
more strencth and is a surer cure for Dyspepsia 
than anv medicine ever made. I wish everybody 
would try it for themselves

WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW! 
If you don’t see what you want , ask for it. 
To Acquire Knowledge , Ask Questions 
Entomology for Beginners - What is a good 
work on entomology fo Tl a beginner to study? a.b m. 
Ans —Entomology for Beginners bv Packard. $1.75 
by mall from this office. Is perhaps as good as any. 
Smoking Eggs.—L ast year the public was In¬ 
formed that some one had discovered a way of keep¬ 
ing eggs fresh a long time by smoking them with 
something Where can the material used be pur¬ 
chased ? <5. B. B. 
Ans —We don t know. If any such wonderful dis¬ 
covery is of any practical use, it will become known, 
and will be advertised: the public won’t be under 
the necessity of hunting for It with a dark lantern. 
Growing Cucumbers for Pickles —We win 
have an article on this subject a little later. They 
do not need to be planted before July 1. 
Garden Marker—W hat is the plan of a good 
adjustable garden marker, with spaces from 6 to 18 
inches ? A. e. s. 
Ans.—G et a good tough piece of wood, perhaps 
two Inches square for the head.^Fasten to this a 
couple of handles of sufficient length to draw the 
marker by easily. Into the bead place pieces a few 
Inches long, either movable as different spaces are 
required, or stationary on opposite sides; for In¬ 
stance, make the spaces on one side six Inches, on 
the other nine inches. Then any width rows can be 
made which are multiples of these distances. By 
skipping every other row, l?-lnch spaces can be 
made by one side or 18 by the other, etc. These, 
of course, are only general directions. The style may 
be varied to suit the maker. 
EVAPORATING Horse Radish.—H ow can I evap¬ 
orate horse radish so that It can he bottled as H. J. 
Heinz Co., of Pittsburg, Pa , bottle It? I bottle It 
for sale as usually put up. but it loses Its strength, 
while Heinz's evaporated horse radish does not. 
Fremont, Neb. H - B - 8 - 
ANS.— We cannot tell: can any of our readers? The 
methods of these large operators are not public prop¬ 
erty, and. even if they were, no farmer could afford 
the machinery necessary to carry them out. There 
may be other methods of doing the work required by 
our correspondent, or there may be a chance to learn 
one by those wishing to experiment In that direction. 
Sage Growing.— Is there ary money In growing 
sage at 50 to 60 cents per pound dried? If so, give 
me some pointers on growing the same. What Is a 
fair yield? H. b. s 
Fremont. Neb. 
Ans.—W e do not know what a fair yield is, never 
having taken any account of the yield from the small 
patch In our garden which furnished the family 
supply. We would be Inclined to believe, however, 
from the amount secured that It would pay at that 
price If the land and labor were not too high-priced. 
After It is once established, it will last for many 
years if kept clear of weeds Fee “Pin Money,’ 1 on 
page 307 of The R. N.-Y. The seeds may be obtained 
of almost any seedsman. 
Soil Analysts.— About what is the cost of having 
a small package of soil analyzed, and where can I 
have It done? j. r. A. 
Oregon. 
Ans —Send It to the Oregon Experiment Station 
at Corvallis, or, better, write them for directions as 
to procuring and sending samples for analysis. They 
are supposed to do such work free for the farmers of 
the State. They are your servants, use them to help 
you to better farming. 
Heaves in a Horse.—W hat Is a remedy for this 
trouble? h.L- H. 
Buckley, Wash. 
aw —We don t believe that a genuine case of 
heaves of long standing can he cured or at least. It 
Is done so seldom as to make it practically Im¬ 
practicable. Proper caie In feeding and handling 
mav do much to relieve the attacks In young 
animals. If thev are otherwise thriving and healthy. 
Medicines have more effect In hiding the symptoms 
than In curing the disease Proper feeding Is of 
great benefit. Never feed any thing that is the least 
bit dustv. Cut feed well sprinkled with water and 
ground feed are excellent Do not overfeed, espec¬ 
ially with bulky food. Water frequently. Give at 
least a ha'f pall of water before feeding. Never 
overwork, and avoid long, heavy pulls without rest. 
Exerc'se moderately every day when not at work 
Do net expose to storms more than possible. Cover 
up well when left standing in cold weather. Keen 
the bowels easy by the use of green foods, carrots, 
etc. ATI these are helpful, and will go far toward 
mitigating the complaint. 
Cement Walks—W hat Is a formula for making 
a durable walk of concrete, cement, or anvth’ng 
else? P. i-a T. 
ANS—Prepare the foundation bv excavating and 
filling In several Inches deen with small stones Put 
In a drain under the stones If the character of the 
soil requires it Th“re are several methods of 
making these walks: the following Is highly recom¬ 
mended: Cover the stones with sand or gravel, 
neat coal or gas tar very hot and quickly mix In all 
the coarse gravel it will contain. Cover the walk 
two or three ’nches deep with the mixture, and then 
roll. Then put on a mixture of fine tar and gravel 
Ui Inch thick and again roll Then coyer the surface 
with hot tar, spreading it evenly with a broom, cov¬ 
er! n r th's with a coat of fine sand. It will grow 
harder with age The smell that arlees from this 
walk does not commend It, but this Is said to soon 
pass awav. 
Commission Merchants.— Who is a good com¬ 
mission merchant to whom I can ship asparagus, 
ontons and Irish potatoes? 
Ans.—W e recommend those advertising In The R. 
N.-Y . but guarantee no one. Always write to any 
one to whom you contemplate shipping, beforehand, 
and learn what the prospects are and what is wanted. 
It won’t do you any harm to refer to The R. N.-Y., 
as commission merchants are anxious to please our 
friends. 
Canning Factories.—W hat firm would put up a 
canning factory here? w. b. h. 
Fitzpatrick, Ala. 
Ans.—W rite to the D. G. Trench Co.. Chicago. Ill., 
who can probably put you In the way of parties who 
would engage In this business

A SUGGESTION. 
Among men In various vocations who will read 
this suggestion are many who see no chance for ad¬ 
vancement in their present callings. Many of these 
are among the brightest and most capable persons 
in their several communities. Because they do not 
know where to turn for a larger Income, they con¬ 
tinue in a helpless way on very low salaries. In an¬ 
other circle where they could use and improve their 
talents, they could command two or three times 
their present Income. Confined to their every-day 
routine they have no chance to mingle with the 
world, and the opportunities that come to others 
never come to them. Adj such person, who is will¬ 
ing to lay aside all prejudices, may become prosper¬ 
ous In the same way that thousands of others have 
succeeded, If they will write for “ An Opportunity ”
