THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
/I sV^C olo^j^l 
This week we must simply go to press and say 
nothing about it. Next week we will have four 
extra pages, and spread out a little more. We 
must leave a good deal to your imagination this 
week. Here is a good one : 
“ Don’t let The R. N.-Y. lapse if possible, as I 
find it absolutely necessary to my welfare, and I 
look for it with a toothsome appetite every Satur¬ 
day, as I do for my well baked beans.” e. h. 
Alton, Ill. 
Now there is a man with New England blood in 
him you may be sure. What turned the West 
from a wilderness into a garden ? New England 
energy ! What provided muscle-makers for that 
energy ? Beans and codfish ! It takes an old 
Yankee to appreciate such a compliment as that, 
because it takes five or six generations of bean 
eaters to know the full beauties of a bean diet. If 
you are so unfortunate as not to stand at the end 
of such a pedigree—why not start in and head 
one ? The same sturdy stock and diet that con¬ 
quered the West, might well secure us 1,000,000 
subscriptions. Of course that will require muscle- 
makers of some sort, which you can’t gain by 
sitting down and talking to yourself. 
Read this now : 
“The sewing machine ordered of The R. N.-Y. 
is at hand. We have given it a trial. My wife 
says that the more she uses it, the better she likes 
it.” K. w. MCM. 
That will be a well-beloved machine before it 
wears out. That’s the sort of premiums The R. 
N.-Y. offers. There are 31 of them now open to 
agents. You are a gentleman, of course—why not 
be a gent as well ? 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Beware of the fraud. 
Poultry prices are very low. 
Dried apples are firmly held. 
Butter prices are lower on some grades. 
The first potatoes from Havana—13 barrels— 
came in Thursday. 
Freezing cold weather drives the fruits and 
vegetables into the stores and cellars. 
One steamer recently brought upwards of 3,400 
sacks of English potatoes. Prices are somewhat 
lower. 
Imported red cabbage has sold as high as $10 
per 100 ; the best imported white cabbage rarely 
exceeds $0 to $6.50 per 100 head. 
The eleventh annual meeting of the Cider and 
Cider Vinegar Makers’ Association of the North¬ 
west, will be held in Chicago, February 5, 6 and 7. 
C. C. Bell, secretary, Boonville, Mo. 
Sales of Western yellow onions have been made 
rp to $2.10 per barrel, which is the highest price 
of the season for these onions. Some stock, how¬ 
ever, is too poor to exceed $1.50 to $1.75 per barrel. 
Du. Collier sends in the following list of meet¬ 
ings to be held under direction of the Geneva Ex¬ 
periment Station. Lectures and discussions on 
agricultural topics will make up the programme:

THE WORLD MOVES TOO FAST. 
That is what a farmer told us at the Chicago 
Fair when he saw the wonderful array of farm 
and vegetable crops. Think of an oat yielding 
200 bushels per acre on 100 acres. (We learn the 
Salzer Seed Company offer $300 for a suitable 
name for this oat wonder), a wheat 112 bushels 
on 2*4 acres, potatoes 1,000 bushels, and grass 
and clover hay six tons per acre. Truly, agri¬ 
culture moves, and you will be rich and happy if 
you sow such seeds. Where can I get them ? Only 
one place in this world, and that is from the Farm 
Seed Specialist, Salzer. 
If You Will Cut Tills Out and Send It 
with 5c. postage, to the John A. Salzer Seed Com¬ 
pany, La Crosse, Wis., you will get a sample of 
Grass and Clover Mixture and their Mam¬

White Onions— Why are they quoted at higher 
prices ? What are the varieties ? 
SEVERAL SUBSCRIBERS. 
Ans.— See The R. N.-Y. of January 26, page 60. 
Chinese Pug Dog.—W hat is it ? a. h. e. 
Ans. — After inquiring of a number of dog 
fanciers, we have failed to find one who knows 
what a Chinese Pug is. Some say there is no 
such breed. One noted fancier says, “The short¬ 
faced Japanese Spaniel has been frequently called 
a Japanese or Chinese Pug, but erroneously.” 
This is probably the one about which inquiry is 
made.
