7S® 
APPRECIATIVE WORDS 
RECEIVED DURING THE PAST 
FEY MONTHS, 
SHOWING THE ESTIMATION IN WHICH 
The Rural New-Yorker 
IS HELD 
BY ITS SUBSCRIBERS. 
Professor W. A. Henry, of the University 
of Wisconsin, (Madison) says: 
“I have been watching the course of the ! 
of a theatrical performance, in which I am 
forced to substitute the Rural for toe main 
play, while the other papers take the place of 
tho oft repented farce or comedy. I don't 
know what first suggested the idea, but that 
is what 1 always think when 1 have read your 
paper and take up some of the others.” 
Mr H. C. Rice, of Charlotte Co., Ya,, 
says: 
'• Permit me to sav that your paper is the 
best agricultural paoer I know. It is practi¬ 
cal and to the point. It wakes ns up and 
makes us think. 1 assure you it is doing good 
questions, going to such expense in the seed 
distribution, making so many experiments, 
that are a great loss to you financially, but 
of great 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 wishus for you, and may you 
meet with the greatest success. Tho whole 
farming community must acknowledge you 
as their benefactor.” 
Mr. R. C. Crandon, of Hart Co., Ky., 
says; 
“The Rural New-Yorker was the first 
gave me as much satisfaction. It is to tho 
ttilud like milK to the tribe—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 a book that will answer 
almost every question that, a farmer, fruit or 
stock grower could ask, and in a way to carry 
conviction. Don’t quit tho business of pub¬ 
lishing the R. N.-Y."’ 
E B. Zimmermann, of Wayne Co., Ohio, 
says: 
“I consider the R. N.-Y. by far the host

CARTER’S STRATAGEM PEA. (From specimen grown in Rural Grounds.) Pig. 450. Sec p. 787. 
Rural with the greatest satisfaction in al¬ 
most every regard. Without doubt, you are 
to-day giving our farmers the best agricul¬ 
tural paper published in America. It is just 
the clean, bright, suggestive sheet that should 
go into every family.” 
Mr Edward A. Pharo, Chester Co., Pa., 
says: 
“Between the Rural New-Yorker and 
most of the other agricultural papers, I fre¬ 
quently find myself making the comparison 
here in this land which was so long cursed 
withs’avery, and which is in consequence so 
far behind in agricultural skill."’ 
Mr E. 8. 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 pa;d 
many times over in reading it, and how in 
the world you can afford to do all you are do¬ 
ing for us is a wonder to me—answering all 
paper that I began to read when a small boy, 
over 30 years ago, and I liked it then. But 
what a contrast now and then! It is worth a 
half a dozen such papers 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 1” 
Mr. C. W. Kiefer, of Leavenworth Co., 
Kan., says: 
“For myself, I have never seen a paper that I 
agricultural paper that I have ever taken,and 
I have read quite a number of them.” 
Mr. Nelson Slater, of Lagrange Co , 
Ind., says: 
“It gives mo much pleasure to do anything 
consistent with my age and ability to extend 
the circulation of so worthy a paper as the R. 
N.-Y. Do not think it fulsome flattery in me 
to say that the Rural New-Yorker still 
maintains its upward and progressive course. 
I think your editorials hit the key-note every
