“The Aspinwall Potato Planter works with almost human ingenuity. It is as indispens¬

We can gladly recommend it as a first-class implement. Potato growing in the future pro¬ 
mises to be conducted as wheat growing now is—on a large scale. Those ivho refuse to avail 
themselves of improved implements will fall behind .”— Rural New-Yorker, April 2, 1887.

It tv ill please all progressive rural people 
and all people sensible enough 
to have rural tastes. 
From Joseph Harris, Moreton Fatmi , N. Y. 
“The fact is, you are doing more for agri¬ 
cultural and horticultural science than all the 
experiment stations combined.” 
From the N. Y. Times. 
“The Rural New-Yorker has done more 
to promote the true interests of agriculture in 
the way of experimenting, than all of the ex¬ 
periment stations put together.” 
From the N. Y. Tribune of Feb. 1, 1888. 
“A Capital Cartoon.—To represent them 
as ‘Literary Experiment Stations,’ each with 
half a man, projected from a big hole in the 
roof, pulling at the treasury surplus, while a 
drove of hogs and long-geared horned cattle 
go up and down the yard seeking what they 
may devour, is the happy thought of The 
Rural New-Yorker. But how could our con¬ 
temporary depart so far from its habitual at¬ 
titude of amiability, at the risk of hurting the 
feelings of politicians who steal the livery of 
Agriculture to serve their selfish ends, and of 
the appropriation-professors who share the 
spoil? Be careful, kind-hearted Brother 
Carman, for—according to your own pictur¬ 
esque showing—‘there’s a Hatch on!’ How¬ 
ever, the cartoon is ‘a hit, a palpable hit,’ by 
a paper which during its nearly 50 years of 
life has done vastly more for farming than 
nine-tenths of all the land-grant colleges and 
experiment stations, whose chief business is 
underdrainage of taxpayers.” 
From the Farm Journal. 
“The Rural New-Yorker is the best farm 
weekly in the world.” 
From the N. Y. World. 
“The Rural New-Yorker is the best agri¬ 
cultural paper in the country.”
