A PRACTICAL FARM PAPER 
The Annual Index of The Rurai, New-Yorker is the best advertisement that the paper can have. From A to Y the 
Subjects are practical and timely. Every article that goes into The R. N.-Y, is arranged to answer or anticipate some question 
asked by a reader. It has never been our policy to crowd opinions upon readers, but rather to confer with them, learn what 
they want to know, and then obtain the information 
INSTRUCT IN AN ENTERTAINING WAY. 
That is the policy of The R. N.-Y. No dry recital of dull facts and no pleasant mixture of words without character 
or solid worth. We aim to put life and sparkle into facts, so that they wi'l be read and remembered. No farm paper in the

OUT 
world has so large or complete a list of contributors. None has equal facilities for getting accurate information. None pays so 
much f jr it. We aim to be helpful to readers by taking a personal interest in their affairs and helping to solve their troubles. 
We have no great announcement to make for 1904. The index shows what the paper contained in 1903. The R. N.-Y. 
is not made up of “ space fillers.” Every word is put in to serve a definite purpose In the future, as in the past, we shall put 
the needs of the subscriber first and study to meet his wants and serve his best interests. We were never before so well pre¬ 
pared to obtain information and present it in readable form. We were never so hopeful for the future or so sure of the ability 
the American farmer to study and work out his salvation on the farm. Each issue of The R. N.-Y. will contain the very 
best Wc.fj^ there is in us, and we confidently invite you to remain with 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER FOR 1904.
