would  like  to  find  out  if  this  company  is 
reliable  and  I  know  of  no  other  way  to

I  have  four  hens  and  one  rooster,

ter  and  four  feet  at  eaves;  it  is  always 
dry  and  clean.  I  use  sawdust  for  floor. 
I  feed  the  following  mash  morning  and 
evening :  One  lb.  cracked  corn.  1  lb.  whole 
oats,  :ti  lb.  wheat  bran.  1  lb*  eornmeal,  1 
lb.  middlings,  2  lbs.  beef  scrap,  and  a 
scratch  food  of  mixed  grains  at  noon.  I 
feed  also  grit,  shell  and  charcoal,  with 
plenty  of  pure  fresh  water.  The  runway 
or  yard  is  about  15x7  feet.  The  hens 
seem  to  have  bowel  trouble  and  are 
always  wet  and  dirty  at  vent.  They  have 
large,  bare  spots  on  backs  and  necks,  and 
I  cannot  make  them  lay  more  than  two 
eggs  a  (lay  and  sometimes  only  one.  When 
I  stop  feeding  the  mash  the  bowels  im¬

A  neighbor  of  mine  recently  received 
the  enclosed  communication  from  Mr. 
A.  Richardson,  OS  Uansevoort  >St.,  New 
York.  He  showed  the  letter  to  me  and 
certain  features  of  it  aroused  my  sus¬ 
picions,  such  as  hand-written  letter,  in¬ 
stead  of  the  usual  typewritten  sheets; 
no  printed  letter  heads,  and  lie  says  “be 
will  allow  the  best  he  can,”  and  '‘charge 
no  commission.”  My  opinion  is  that 
the  deal  is  crooked,  and  if  one  should 
ship  to  this  party,  its  “good  bye”  to 
the  produce.  Can  you  give  me  a  line  on 
this  party,  and  if  the  game  is  not  straight 
show  him  up  so  that  country  people  be 
not  taken  in.  T.  E.  P.

We  are  glad  the  subscriber's  suspicions 
were  aroused,  for  we  cannot  recommend 
Mr.  Richardson.  Previously  lie  was 
posing  as  a  commission  merchant,  and 
we  had  reports  from  a  number  of  people 
that  they  were  unable  to  get  payment  for 
their  shipments.  We  were  equally  un¬ 
successful,  except  in  one  case  where  he 
sent  a  remittance,  but  the  returns  were 
so  far  below  expectations,  and  the  charges 
and  commissions  so  high,  the  shipper 
wrote.  “Experience  is  a  hard  schoolmas¬ 
ter.  lint  fools  will  learn  from  no  other.  *

the  United  {Sales  Agency  for  the  sale  of

are  a  reliable  firm  to  transact  business

line  as  that  of  other  sales  agencies  offer¬ 
ing  to  sell  your  farm.  The  main  point  is 
to  send  iu  the  small  fee  which  is  re¬ 
quired  in  advance.  If  yon  keep  your 
money  you  will  be  better  off.  Concerns 
at  a  distance  are  seldom,  if  ever,  able  to
