of steel and sighted 
front and back. The 
stock is of poplar, 
the cross-bar of A. 
maple. The springs [%> 
are made of the best 
English oil-tempered 
steel. The only thing |(M| / j 
about the gnu that . <]

I.nar’g Patent Door tl nutter. 
Given tor tlue StatiNcriber. 
This is the best door haDger on the market. 
There are hundreds of farmers who have tried 
about every contrivance for hanging barn 
doors and have decided that there is nothing 
equal to the old steel hauger and track. All 
such farmers will be more than pleased with 
this premium. This hanger is anti friction in 
its movement, having a rolliug motion only; 
the load being carried by the small steel axle 
of the wheel—this axle resting under parallel 
ways of the hunger—while the periphery of 
the wheel follows the track. The axle being 
IANEB ANTIFRICTION DOOR HANGER 
many times smaller than the wheel, allows 
the door to open its whole width, while the 
axle only rolls the length of the ways, which 
rest upon it. It will lie seen, therefore, that 
there is uo friction, as where tin axle runs in 
a stationary box, and consequently uo oil is 
required, and it nover screeches. The banger 
is made wholly of steel except the wheel 
which has a steel axle. The hanger* are 
nude in four sizes to slide five, 10 or 15 feet 
respectively. No. 4 slides 15 feet and is heavier 
than the others. We offer a pair of the No. 1 
comes just at the wroug place The strainer 
can be removed in an instant if desired so that 
every part of the pail can be quickly washed. 
This is a great advantage as every dairyman 
knows. The pail is made of XX heavy tin 
and is strong and durable. Made by Bart¬ 
lett & Dow, Lowell, Mass.

Given lor Three f*ubs< rlbers. 
These scales are made expressly for onr owu 
use by Jones of Binghamton and are the 
handiest family scales we know of. They will 
weigh from one-fourth ounce to 25 pounds. 
The “Stop Thief’ scales which we have of¬ 
fered for years are very serviceable bat hardly 
large enough for all the uses of a family. The 
“Rural New-Yorker” will be just exactly the 
thing for weighing the thousand and one 
smaller articles that need to be weighed on 
every farm. We can assure our frieuds that 
this is a fine premium. 
Our National Ball Game. 
Base ball is the most popular out-door game 
ever invented. There can be no doubt about 
it. Other sports are popular in their way, but 
base ball leads everything else in genuine in¬ 
terest and skill. Many a boy has longed for a 
chance to play ball during the winter. We 
cannot offer a level field, warm weather, and 
plenty of bats and balls, but w** do offer the 
next best thing in the shape of this excellent 
game. Two peisons can play it, or an entire 
company can “chose up” and play sides. Every 
movement of the game is carefully reproduced.

tion. so far as we have ever heard. It answers

danger of breaking it or throwing it out of re¬ 
pair with ordinary usage. It is made by the

scroll sa w ever produced. It runs rap idly and 
true. The saw swings nearly 16 inches in the 
clear. The tension on the saw blade is per¬ 
fect, so that there is no trouble from the saw 
blades heating and breaking in consequence 
of friction on i he saw' table. The table can 
be tilted for inlaying and a positive blower 
keeps the work free from dust. With the ex¬ 
ception of the wood tables and pitmans, it is 
made entirely of iron and steel It is the eas¬ 
iest running saw yet produced. It will saw 
solid black walnut one-half incti thick at the 
rate of two feet per minute. It is not in¬ 
tended lor heavy carpenter’s work, hut it will

Arnold’ A ultimo lie Strom Cooker. 
Given lor Three s-nb.-ci ib; m. 
We have given this cooker a fair trial and 
find it very useful. We have cooked meats, 
vegetables and grains in 
it successfully. It is par¬ 
ticularly valuable for 
preparing such foods as 
oatmeal, cracked wheat, 
nee, etc. One excellent 
point in favor of this 
cooker lies in the fact 
that it economizes space 
on the range. Several ar¬ 
ticles can he cooked atone 
time, occupying the space usually given to 
one. Another point in its favor is that there 
is no danger of the food burning or being 
over-done while on the stove in this cooker. 
We can assure all housewives that they will be 
greatly pleased with this cooker. It is made 
by Wilmot Castle & Co., Rochester, N. Y., 
and costs $3.75. For three subscribers it is a 
fine premium. 
Culture ol Farm Crops, 
Given tor One Subscriber w it h Postaxe. 
This excellent book, by Henry Stewart, 
ought to be in the hands of every farmer. 
This is one of the best premiums of the year. 
Mo6t of the really valuable books on agricul¬ 
ture are so high in price, that satisfactory 
premium rates cannot be secured for them. 
By offering this book for only one subscriber 
we give farmers a chance that they never 
have had belore. It is a wonderful offer, sur*- 
to be appreciated. Henry Stewart is one 
of the ablest writers on farm topics in the 
world. He writes clearly, easily and ac¬ 
curately. Any farmer can understand wbat 
he says, and rely upon his statements. We 
venture to say that one must examine many 
volumes before he finds one containing easier 
and clearer lessons in agricultural science 
than can be fouDd in the “ The Culture of 
Farm Crops.” The book is published by 
Dnane H. Nash. Millington, N. J., and costs 
$1.50. 
See the Rural New-Yorker’s regular 
premium list, issued Oct. 1, 1887, for excel¬ 
lent commissions to agents. 
Boiler Organ. 
Given lor Seven Subscribers. 
The music of this instrument is produced by 
metallic rollers, and is said to t>e far superior 
to that produced by an orgauette. No know¬ 
ledge of music is required. It will play 250 
different tunes, and will play one tune as long 
as desired without anv break. It is well fin¬ 
ished in imitation of mahogany and is nicely- 
decorated. It will make an exetJIent orna¬ 
ment. Of course, nobody expects this instru¬ 
ment will equal a piano or parlor organ, but. 
in its way, it will really produce fair music. 
It is made by G. H. W. Bates & Co., Boston, 
and costs $6. 
Small's Call Feeder. 
Given tar Three Subscriber*, 
This is what Edward Burnett, President of 
the N. Y. Dairy Show, says about this feeder: 
"I have used your Calf Feeder for nearlv 
two years, and with pleasure irdorse it n ost 
heartily. It effectually' removes the cause of 
many cases of scouring and indigesiion, by 
obliging the calf to feed slowly, and would 
always do so if the farmer could only realise 
the importance of raising the temperature of 
his skim-tnilk to blood heat or from 9i 
to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.” 
We have seen the feeder in use and know 
that it does excellent work, ll is made by J. 
B. Small & Co., Boston, Mass. A good prem¬ 
ium for three subscribers.
