WHAT YOU WANT 
Is a Separator that can stand the tests of the Experiment Stations, and also do the closest

Your No. 3 machine handled 398 pounds of milk this 
morning at the rate of 603 pounds per hour, taking but 12 %

skim-milk. Permit me to congratulate you on the excellence 
of this work. Yours truly, Joseph l. hills,

Very Little Room for Improvement in the New Style. 
I was certainly highly pleased when I received the new style 
Separator, No. 5, but when I started it up and tried it, I was more 
pleased yet, as it turns so very easy and makes so little noise that 
it leaves very little room for improvements. With all the gearings 
inclosed, no grit or dust can cut or wear them, and it stands so 
firmly that you can almost run it without fastening it to the floor. 
It is so easy to change in the skimming, and there are so few parts 
to the bowl, that it is a wonder ; having seen some other separators 
that have some 30 pieces to clean, where this has only a few. 
The new style U. S. Separator is certainly an ornament as well 
as a necessity in the dairy, and I cannot recommend it too highly. 
Landisville, Pa., July 1, 1895. m. s. nissley. 
Greatly Pleased with the New Separator. 
I am 16 years of age, and have all the care of the Separator 
that my father, T. C. Hill, purchased from you. It is a No. 5 Sep¬ 
arator with the high frame, and is just right to work and adjust 
easily. It is so simple that I have had no trouble whatever. We 
think it perfect. I put through 251 pounds in 42 minutes last night 
with perfect ease, and do the same twice a day. After setting some 
of the milk not a drop of cream would rise, and I feel safe in say¬ 
ing that it separates all the cream. We are much pleased with the 
machine. monroe m. hill.

PALMER & FROST 
(CONTINUED.) 
Space is short this week, hut we must find room 
for these notes: 
Thank you for the information about seed; that 
alone wil! save me nearly $400. If farmers only 
knew the benefits to be derived, every one would 
take The R. N.-Y., and work for it, too. I know 
of no other publication that works for its readers 
as you do for yours ; you give us help that helps. 
Louisiana. c. c. 
“ Help that helps !” That’s good enough. That’s 
enforcement of a sound old law. No extra salt in 
that ‘‘free lunch.” 
Here’s a little letter from a Massachusetts boy 
who took his father’s place as a canvasser: 
I started witli a sheep paper that didn’t take. 
I found that I was on the wrong tack, and so I 
took a strawberry paper; I captured the store¬ 
keeper and the minister. I sent their names to 
you for trial subscriptions. Next week, I shall go 
among the farmers, and am in hopes to get a long 
list of names. Walter b. douglas. 
Age 11 years. 
Hurrah for that boy. Don’t you see the point ? 
One issue of The R. N.-Y. didn’t hit these men, 
but another one knocked the opposition com¬ 
pletely out of them. What a lesson that is to the 
faint-hearted ones who back out at a man’s first 
“ No ”! It also shows that The R. N.-Y. is varied 
enough to suit them all. Keep at them ! Make 
life a trial till they turn the rest of this year into 
a trial subscription.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Recoivo and Bell, in car load lots and smaller 
The egg market is a little stronger. 
The huckleberry season is nearly at an end. 
Large quantities of Bartlett pears are being put 
into cold storage. 
Forest fires have been ravaging the cranberry 
bogs in some parts of New Jersey. 
Hops are about as low as ever known, and the 
prospect ahead doesn’t seem to be very encour¬ 
aging. 
Good, large, fine turnips are selling at prices 
that would hardly pay the freight and for the 
barrels containing them. 
The Connecticut peach crop, which will soon 
be ready for market, is said not to have been ex¬ 
celled by that of any previous year. 
A large shipment of potatoes came in from the 
South on Wednesday, and, as the stock was good, 
sold for about the price of nearby potatoes. 
There came the nearest to being a peach glut 
this week, of any time this year. A large supply 
happened to reach the market at once, that was 
all. 
Tobacco is being harvested in Connecticut, and 
the crop is said to be fine, the season having been 
generally favorable. Some are reported to have 
sold for 22 to 25 cents per pound in the bundle, 
which is much in advance of last year. 
The muskmelon market has been demoralized 
this season, and prices have been low. Although 
receipts have been large, the principal reason for 
the depression is said to have been the poor qual¬ 
ity of the melons, which reduced consumption, 
hence limited the demand
