PROFIT 
IN 
SHEEP. 
There Is probably no branch of 
farming or stock-raising, that Is 
BO sure to return a profit as the 
flock of sheep, and there is prob¬ 
ably no branch so much neg¬ 
lected. A well-kept flock would 
restore the fertility to many run 
down farms, and put tbelr own- 
eis on the road to prosperity. 
But every man doesn’t know how to care for sheep, 
though he can easily learn. “ Sheep Farming " Is a 
practical treatise on sheep, their management and 
diseases. It tells In plain language how to select 
and breed them, and bow to care for them. It Is a 
little book worth three times Its cost to any farmer 
who raises sheep. Sent postpaid for 25 cents.

So many knives are called for by subscribers 
that we have made a careful search 
and believe that we have found as 
^ good a farmer’s knife as there 
is made. It is so good 
that w’e have named it 
the “ Rural New- 
Yorker ” knife.

This young man goes on to say that, 
even on his little place, he finds that 
The R. N.-Y. gives him fuU value re¬ 
ceived in information. And now, of 
course, you see right away where the ap¬ 
plication of this “ two-string ” incident 
is to come in. If not, doubtless the fol¬ 
lowing note from a successful market 
gardener out in Illinois, may punch up 
your mind a little : 
From now until about the middle of March, I have 
absolutely nothing to do. I can't endure being idle. 
It has occurred to me that perhaps I can work for 
The B. N. Y. to our mutual advantage. What do 
you think of my attending farmers’ Institutes during 
the fall and winter to solicit subscriptions fur tne 
paper ? If I can earn moderate wages above travel¬ 
ing expenses, 1 shall feel like trying. 
The new Income Tax has small terrors 
for The R. N.-Y. We wish our profits 
were so large that it would be necessary 
for us to hand the Government a large 
sum. While that is unlikely, we still 
have a fair amount of money to pay to 
our agents this season. We want to in¬ 
crease our subscription list, and we don’t 
propose to ask any one to work for noth¬ 
ing. Further than that, we desire to 
keep our money in tl\& family, and prefer 
to pay it to our friends and readers 
rather than to professional agents— 
though we will never rej act the services 
of the latter. Now our dollars come 
hard, and we don’t purpose spending 
them to give any one a soft job. We 
won’t advance a cent to send you off to a 
meeting to stand around and talk big 
and look wise. People may get the im¬ 
pression that you are the finest fellow 
on earth, but unless you can get them to 
plank down the price of a year’s sub¬ 
scription, what good does it do'us, and 
how can you j astly claim a share of the 
money we have to spend on subscription 
work ? We put that to you frankly—as

THE CHRISTY KNIVES. 
These knives are well named “ Wonderful,” as they are far and away the best 
things in kitchen and carving knives that we have seen. Use in our own house has 
demonstrated their quality. There are three in a set: a bread knife, sharpened 
only on one side so that, with its refiex curves, it cuts even warm bread in thin

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. : 
Dear Sir —I took your “Favorite Pre¬ 
scription ” previous to confinement and 
never did so well in my life. It is only 
two weeks since my confinement and I am 
able to do my work. I feel stronger than I 
ever did in six weeks before. 
Yours truly.
