THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
“WE ARREST YOUR ATTENTION!” 
In the name of the uncommon wealth we purpose to distribute on May 1, 1895. Short stories must rule this w'eek. A page is all too small to hold 
what we wish to say. We give the facts ; you must make a mighty effort to supply the imagination and read the manufacturers’ catalogues. As usual, 
WE ARE AFTER SUBSCRIPTIONS, 
you are after a job. We have already given away nearly $1,000—no, not given it away, but paid it out— for good, honest subscription work. Here we 
come with another fistful of values for the campaign beginning December 17, 1894, and ending May I, 1895. Those who send 
subscriptions during that period, may retain the usual agent’s commission. We shall continue to offer the $2.00 ^ day Cash Prize for the largest daily 
clubs. In addition, we offer 31 f1rSt“Cla8S premiums follows: You understand that lack of space alone prevents our saying more about them. 
We guarantee them all first-class in every respect—just exactly what you would pay your CASU for. The agent sending the largest club during the 
period named, has first choice, second largest, second choice, and so on. 
The Kalamazoo Buggy. 
Just what you want to take your wife 
to ride in. In style, painting, finish and 
quality of material, you will find this 
A No. 1. It is worth $100 of any honest 
man’s cash. You will .see a picture of it in 
the catalogue issued by the Kalamazoo 
Wagon Company, Kalamazoo, Mich. 
Aspinwall Potato Planter. 
Lots of men want this and know all 
about it. They don’t feel quite able to 
buy it this year. Here is the chance for 
them. No description needed by one 
who has studied it. The one we offer is 
as good as any ever sent out by the 
Aspinwall Mfg. Company, Jackson, Mich. 
The Baby Tread Power. 
This little “power” is just the thing 
for turning a separator, or any small 
machine that can be run by a crank. A 
goat, sheep, calf or small cow or bull 
can find honorable and useful employ¬ 
ment in this machine, and give the 
man’s back a rest. Made by the St. 
Albans Foundry Company, St. Albans, Vt. 
The Winger Windmill. 
We find many people looking about for 
a good windmill to use for pumping 
water, grinding feed and similar jobs. 
Here it is just crying for some one to 
come along with a small club of sub¬ 
scriptions. Lack of space cuts off our 
description. Send to E. B. Winger, “the 
Windmill Man,” Freeport, Ill., and see 
what it is. 
The Eclipse Corn Planter. 
You hitch this tool to a horse, fill the 
hoppers, grab the handles, say, “get 
up ! ” and off it goes planting corn, peas 
or beans, and di'opping fertilizer just 
where you want it. It is all done much 
better than you can do it by hand—with 
all due respect for your ability. The 
Eclipse Corn Planter Company, Enfield, 
N. IL, can prove these statements if 
you demand proof. 
The Red Jacket Sprayer. 
Here you have a machine made like a 
wheelbarrow, with wheel, handles and 
tank, with suitable gearing to work a 
pump attachment. You take up the 
handles, and walk along the rows and 
whiff ! goes the spray on both sides—if 
you want it. This beats a Knapsack 
sprayer to death, for the wheel is 
stouter than your back. The Field Force 
Pump Company, Loekport, N. Y., will 
supply facts about this. 
THE EMERSON UPRIGHT PIANO. 
Now here is something that will give tone to the efforts of 
wife, sweetheart or daughter. We head the list of premiums 
with this magnificent instrument, because we know it will 
start the energies of every member of the household. A 
home without music of some sort is not wholly what it ought 
to be—that is, if there are young folks in it. Think what a 
center of melody and good-feeling this piano can be made. 
It is worth $400 in cash of anybody’s money. It is made by 
the Emerson Piano Company, of Boston, Mass., and will be 
guaranteed equal to the best in finish, quality and tone. 
The Columbus Buggy. 
We want the farmer to ride around in 
comfort and good shape, when he goes 
at all, and so we have secured still an¬ 
other buggy for a premium. This one is 
worth every cent of $60. We have it in 
stock now, so we know what we are 
talking about. It may be yours if you 
will it so ! 
An Excellent Road Cart. 
Just the thing for you to use in shack¬ 
ing off over the hills, or when you want 
to speed the old mare. This cart is light, 
durable and strong, like all the goods 
made by the Kalamazoo Wagon Com¬ 
pany, Kalamazoo, Mich. 
Stevens’ “ Sure-Shot” Rifle. 
This will put a ball just w'here you 
aim it. Of course, the “ sureness ” of the 
shot depends largely on the shooter as 
well as on the rifie. A boy can take this 
rifie and reduce the woodchuck crop so 
that it will be a complete failure. The 
rifie weighs 33^ pounds, has a 20-inch 
barrel, and uses a 22-calibre run-fire 
cartridge. We have four of them, so a 
boy will be pretty sure to get one for a 
very small club. Made by J. Stevens & 
Co., Chicopee Falls, Mass. 
Victor Hot-Water Brooder. 
This “wooden hen” will mother your 
little chicks, and do its full duty so long 
as you keep up the supply of water and 
heat. You will receive it all complete— 
glass top, lamp and screen cover, and all. 
Many poultrymen have been very suc¬ 
cessful with this brooder. It beats an 
old hen, according to the maker. Geo. 
Ertel, Quincy, Ill. 
The Rival Lawn Mower. 
Keep your lawn neat and clean, or 
plow it up. Don’t tie the calf out there 
to keep the grass gnawed down, but do 
it in good shape with a good lawn 
mower. This “ rival ” will do the act 
with little effort on your part. Made by 
the Chadborn & Coldwell Mfg. Company, 
Newburgh, N. Y. 
The Syracuse Level Cultivator 
The beauty of this cultivator is that 
the width as well as the depth of its 
work, can be regulated at will. By 
simply pulling a lever, the man at the 
handles can raise or lower the wheel in 
front or widen or narrow the distance 
between the teeth. You don’t have to 
change any bolts to do this. Made by the 
Syracuse Plow Company, Syracuse, N.Y. 
The Z, Breed Weeder and Cul¬ 
tivator. 
Bear in mind, this is the Z. Breed 
weeder—that one with the curved teeth 
—something like a hay rake. These 
teeth scratch and work among the plants 
almost like a well-directed hand. You 
might almost call it human steel, to see 
the way it rips out the weeds, and slides 
over the good plants. Circulars from the 
Z. Breed Weeder Company, Boston, Mass. 
The Champion Milk Cooler. 
A man can’t remain sweet-tempered if 
he does not keep cool. Same with milk. 
The “animal heat’’must be driven out 
of it at once if you expect the best re¬ 
sults. If you ask our advice as to the 
oest way to get rid of this “ animal 
heat,” we shall say, “ get up a small 
club—win this premium.” Made by 
Champion Milk Cooler Company, Cort¬ 
land, N. Y. 
The Sherwood Steel Harness. 
We have used this harness, and know 
just what it is. There are no traces to 
tangle around the horses’ feet, and no 
whiffletrees to bark trees or horses’ 
heels. In our judgment, a team can 
haul a heavier load with this harness 
than with the old style traces. What 
more do you want ? See a picture of it 
in the catalogue issued by the Sherwood 
Harness Company, Auburn, N. Y. 
The Superior Land Roller and 
Grass Seeder. 
The extremely dry season just passed, 
was a hard one on wheat and grass seed¬ 
ing. In many cases, the seeds lay dor¬ 
mant for weeks for lack of moisture to 
sprout them. It was found that a good 
rolling after seeding assisted germina¬ 
tion. By firming the surface soil, moist¬ 
ure was attracted there—just the reverse 
of cultivation. The Superior land roller 
has no superior for this work. Made by 
John Moore’s Son Company, New York 
City. There is a seeding attachment. 
The Leggett Paris-Green Gun. 
This gun applies dry Paris-green, either 
pure or mixed with a small amount of 
flour or plaster. It does it rapidly and 
well. We feel sure that this “ dry bug 
fighting ” is sure to become very general. 
You will surely want this gun if you 
think of keeping up with the procession. 
It is all right. 
$50 in Cash. 
We divide $50 into 10 prizes of $5 each, 
so that the smaller clubs may have a 
fair show. This makes a total of 31 
prizes, so that there may be a wider 
range for choice, and a fairer division 
of these gifts. 
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. 
These articles are all of good reputation, and it is easy for you to investigate their merits. In every case, you can go to headquarters and learn for 
yourself just what they are. This is the fourth subscription campaign of the season. It differs from former ones only in the fact that there are 
MORE PREMIUMS AND MORE TIME TO WIN THEM. 
This offer is for clubs sent from December 17 to May i, 1895. 
Renewals and new subscriptions count the same. Two six- 
months’ or four trial subscriptions count the same as one 
yearly. You take the regular commission. 
The Premiums are extra to the largest 31 clubs. 
Special Cash Rebate Terms to Those Who Prefer Them. 
THE RURAL NEW=YORKER,.NEW YORK CITY. 
The $2 cash will be mailed each night to the sender of the largest 
club for that day. 
We will send sample copies, posters and circulars to all who can 
use them. The largest club secures first choice, and so on.
