THE RURAL NEW-YORKER^ 
February’24 
As We Go To Press. 
We find the paper 60 crowded with ads 
and answers that we are moved to hold 
our peace and not speak our piece. 
What’s the use of talking when The R. 
N.-Y. is now too full for utterance ? 
We will therefore submit the following 
propositions and retire for the week : 
1. The R. N.-Y. costs hut $1 per year 
and will be issued 52 times in 1894. 
2. Our ambition is to make it so good 
that you can’t drop it without also drop¬ 
ping behind the times. 
3. It is the best medium through which 
to dispose of your surplus good farm pro¬ 
duce. 
4. Y"ou will make a great big miss if 
you don’t send for a lot of the pamphlets 
and catalogues advertised in this paper. 
5. Tne following letter is a fair sample 
of hundreds : 
Tub U. N.-Y. Is a friend whose weekly visits we 
cancot afford to miss. Every number Is carefully 
read and from every number we derive some profit, 
some Information or idea tbat Is of everyday use to 
us In our business, or some encouragement to perse¬ 
vere and keep on with the unceasing round end 
cares of tne milkmans life. To read what others 
have done or are doing in the line of one’s own 
business is a stimulus to greater exertions and 
strengthens one's determination to succeed. Let the 
good work The R. N.-Y. is dolrg go on and its shadow 
and subscribers will never grow lets. 
Conrect'cut. A i.. aiken.

One brief word now about advertising. 
Here is the text: 
Our advertisement In The U. N.- Y. broughtln more 
than 60 Inquiries for seed, from six different States. 
It is a good paper to let the people know what you 
have to sell. James auams. 
Miflllntown, Pa. 
Two men nowadays are missing a good 
thing. One does not answer the “ ads” 
in this paper and see from catalogues 
and circulars what people have to say 
about their goods. Another lets first- 
class things go at third-class prices—or 
in other words, blood go for the price of 
water—because he is not willing to en¬ 
large his circle of buyers by good adver¬ 
tising. _ 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW I 
If you don't see what you want, ask for it. 
UiXGnoNB on Colt—W hat 1b a remedy for ring¬ 
bone on a colt ? w. c. m. 
Ans.—A ringbone of long standing Is dlfBcult to 
cure, but may be killed so that It will make no fur¬ 
ther progress. If of recent formation, the chances 
of cure are better. Apply compound tincture of 
iodine dally, rubbing It in thoroughly until a blister 
Is formed. Omit for a few days, and repeat If neces¬ 
sary. The colt should have rest, and If the tendency 
Is to walk on the toe, should have a hlgb-heeled 
shce; If on the heel, the reverse. If there Is Inflam¬ 
mation. and the formation of bony matter has not 
yet taken place, soothing applications as some good 
poultice, will probably be beneficial. 
Mauuow and Kin.VEY Beans.—I n the market 
reports of The R N.-t. I see that Marrow anl Red 
Kidney beans are quoted from 65 to G5 cents per 
bushel, higher than Mediums. We live la a good 
be»n region, and beans are a standard crop. Are 
Marrow and Kidney beans good croppers? With 
common Held cultivation, .Mediums yield from 10 to 
40 bushels per acre here. it b. 
Dusrt. Ont. 
ANS.—.Marrow and Kidney beans are not usually 
considered so good croppers as Mediums They re 
quire just the right conditions to do their best, but 
where they have these will prove mors profitable. 
As they are not so sure as .Mediums, the majority of 
growers prefer to stick to the latter. A trial of them 
would be advisable. 
Black Legged Bkoii.ehs and White eggs —Do 
B lack Langshan broilers bring as much par pound in 
New York City markets as the yellow-shanked and 
yellow-skinned kinds? Here a chicken Is a chicken

and an egg Is an egg. Last winter the shippers of 
eggs here sent their eggs to New York and they tell 
me that White Leghorn eggs don't bring any more In 
New York than brown, and tney pack theirs In barrels 
just as they buy them without regard to color or 
size. I keep Brown Leghorns and Black Langsbans 
and sell off the/iockerels at 1!^ pound alive at 10 
cents a pound as It doesn't pay t> keep them longer. 
Sweet Water, Tenn. f. 8 w. 
ANS.—Any one who says that white eggs don’t 
bring more In New York simply doesn't know where 
to sell them. The best trade pays several cents per 
dczen more for clean, fresh, white eggs. Many com¬ 
mission men, however, don’t know enough to get 
any more. Black legged poultry Isn't wanted In the 
New York markets, either as broilers or anything 
else. V'ellow legs and skins All the demand and bring 
best prices. Of course the others will sell, but for a 
lower price 
WUAT’STHE Matter WITH THE Lettuce ?—Let¬ 
tuce grown outside for forcing was taken up In the 
usual manner and put Into tne greenhouse as last 
season and In former years, but this year It Is a com¬ 
plete failure. The plants while small wither at the 
edge of the outside leaves, and Unally drop or are 
pulled off; the next leaf dies in the same way. The 
edge of the leaves looks as If scalded In the sun. I 
have always bean succassful In growing lettuce be¬ 
fore. What Is the remedy ? w. C. J. 
ANS —We submitted the question to an experi¬ 
enced horticultural experimenter, and he said that 
It would be Impossible to say without knowing more 
of the particulars, what was the trouble It was 
probably a fungus, and he suggested spraying with 
the ordinary fungicides. 
O.NIONS FROM SETfl.—Are the small sets from the 
Southport onions good to use for sets to grow large 
onions this year ? j. L P. 
ANS.—Yes. Market gardeners generally use these 
for the early crop of bunch onions.
