“You received i.wc new subscribers 
last year from the list I sent you, and they 
lately told me it was the best agricultural 
paper they ever saw. I think your Fer¬ 
tilizer Number worth a year’s subscription. 
I ke the Special Numbers rather than to 
have the articles scattered through the 
j ear. We can refer to the Special Num¬ 
bers easily at any time. I file all my 
Rukalb for reference and have for years, 
and the Special Numbers save time in 
looking up articles. F. A. blake.

Seven subscriptions with $14 will entitle the 
sender to the Rural New-Yorker for one 
year, free. 
When you sent the Blush potatoes to your 
subscribers in the Rural's Free Seed Distri¬ 
bution, I received two, and put them in the 
cellar, leaviug them in the little pasteboard 
box they came in. Some one stole them, and 
I reported my loss to you, and received one per 
mail. This had 11 eyes, and an Irishman 
when weeding the garden dug them up, but I 
found nine ol them and planted them again. 
I had a little over a peck, from which last 
year I had seven bushels; and I have now 
just had over 70 bushels all large-sized but a 
very few, and a bright, clear skinned lot. On 
the same piece of ground and treated the same, 
1 had another sort of potato which did not 
yield more than one third as many per row 
and most of them are worm-eaten and a rough 
lot with quite a fourth rotten.

PILLS. 
Ayer’s Pills are entirely vegetable In 
their composition, act speedily and thor¬ 
oughly, and impart tone and energy to 
the whole system. They may he given to 
children with ent ire safety. L. O. Brag- 
don, Columbia, S. C., writes: “I have 
used Ayer's Pills in my family for years. 
I give them to my children, in preference 
to any other physic, and always with the 
most gratifying results. They are invalu¬ 
able as a home medicine.” A. B. Foster, 
Children’s Home, "Westviile, Conn., 
writes: We have used Ayer’s Pills, and 
thiuli them a very safe and excellent 
family aperient.” R. D. Jackson, ‘Wil¬ 
mington, Del., writes; “I have used 
Ayer’s Tills for a number of years, and 
have never found anything equal to them 
for giving mo an appetite or imparting 
energy and strength to my system. I 
always keep them in the house.” 
Most of the diseases affecting the diges¬ 
tive organs yield readily to the influence 
of Ayer’s Pills. They stimulate the 
Stomach, Liver, and Bowels, and restore 
the system to healthful condition. A. 
A. 'Wostcnbolmo, Utica, X, Y., writes: 
“ Whenever I am troubled with Indiges¬ 
tion, I take one or two doses of Ayer’s 
Pills, and am promptly relieved. I have 
used these Pills for years, and have never 
known them to fail.” Randolph Morse, 
Lynchburg, Ya., writes: “I have never 
found anything equal to Ayer’s Pills for 
keeping the Stomach, Bowels, and Liver, 
iu good working order. I always use them 
when occasion requires.” E. H. Knapp, 
Detroit, Midi., writes: “Ayer’s Pills 
cured me of Dyspepsia, from which I had
