THE 
RURAL NLW'YORKER, 
APPRECIATIVE WORDS WHICH HAVE 
BEEN RECEIVED FROM SUB¬ 
SCRIBERS DURING THE 
PAST FEW MONTES. 
Mr. J. L. Myers, of Indiana Co., Pa., says: 
“I like the Rural New-Yokkku tbo beat 
of all the farm papers J have Been or road, and 
during tbo past two years I have had sample 
copies of quite a number. Above all, I like it 
because it aims to tell the truth, no matter 
whom or where it hits, and if it has made a 
mistake and discovers the fact, it will not 
hesitate to acknowledge it, and try to make 
amends. In fact, it could uot, he the live, pro¬ 
gressive paper that it is, unless it did 80 , for the 
opposite course is just what leads to fogy ism. 
I like it because it has no stereotyped items 
which appear in its columns over and over 
again. I like it because it is practical rather 
than theoretic, for which it has better facili¬ 
ties than uny other paper with which I am 
acquainted, on account of the Experimental 
Grounds. I like it because it seems to have 
discovered the uemo of success in a farm 
paper, viz., to aim only to benefit its readers; 
but thereby it benefits itself in return. I like 
its editorials; they are to the point, andusual- 
ly timely. Of course, there are points in 
which I differ from the Rural.” 
Mr. Nklhon Slater, of Lagrange Co., 
Ind., says: 
“It gives me much pleasure to do anything 
consistent with my ago and ability to extend 
the circulation of so worthy a paper as the It. 
N.-Y. Do not think it fulsome flattery in mo 
to say that the Rural New-Y’ohkkr still 
maintains its upwurd and progressive course. 
I think your editorials hit the key-note every 
time. And, furthermore, I will, no preventing 
Providence, make a personal effort to extend 
its circulation, believing I am greatly benefit¬ 
ing whom I induce to subscribe. 
Mr. R. C. Hodges, of Delaware Co., N. Y., 
says: 
“I believe the R N.-Y. is at the front, and 
is doing more good than any other agricultu¬ 
ral newspaper in jhe Unitod*States.” 
E. B. Zimmermann, of Wayne Co., Ohio, 
says: 
“I consider the R. N.-Y. by far the best 
agricultural paper that I have ever taken, and 
I have read quite a number of them.” 
Mr. E. S. Sterling, of Orleans Co., N. Y., 
says: 
“I wish to say a word for the Rural. I 
think every farmer loses a good deal in not 
taking it. I am well satisfied that I am paid 
many times over in reading it, and 
how in the world you can afford to do 
all you are doing for us is a won¬ 
der to me—answering all questions, going 
to such expense In the seed distribution, mak¬ 
ing so many experiments, that are a greatloss 
to you financially, but of groat importance to 
the farmers. One thing in particular that I want 
to express my admiration for, is your fearless 
attacks on all frauds. My best wishes for 
you, and may you meet with the greatest suc¬ 
cess. The whole farming community must ac¬ 
knowledge you os their benefactor. The article 
last week, ‘Help Each Other,' suits me. I 
would like to bo one to join all such organiza¬ 
tions. If we would all do so, wo would not 
havo any reason long to complain of monopo¬ 
lies and the thousand and one systems of 
wrong-doing in the world.” 
Mr. R. C. Crandon, of Hart Co., Ky., 
says: 
“The Rural New-Yorker was the first 
paper that I began to read when a small 
boy, over SO years ago, and I liked it then. But 
what a contrast now and then! It is worth a 
half a dozen such paper* now. Age has im¬ 
proved it wonderfully. I am highly pleased 
with it, and pronounce it the boss of all the 
agricultural papers. My best wishes for its 
future success. 
Mr. C. W. Kiefer, of Leavenworth Co., 
Kan , says: 
“For myself, I have never seen a paper that 
gave me as much satisfaction. It is to the 
mind like milk to the babe -a complete food— 
perfect in all respects, without sham, full of 
the honest advice of intelligent, tried experi¬ 
ence. Have had my last year’s copy put in 
good binding, and It is abooktbafc will answer 
almost every question that a farmer, fruit or 
stock-grower could a^k, and in a way to carry 
conviction. Don’t quit the business of pub¬ 
lishing the R. N.-Y.
