THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 1 
March 3, 1900 
Humorous. 
Mrs. Good: “What are you doing, 
Tommy?” Tommy: “Takin’ the win¬ 
dows out o’ gran’ma’s specs so she can 
gee better.”—The Jewelers’ Weekly. 
Nell: “I admit that she is a poor 
housekeeper, hut that is because she is 
Intellectual.” Belle: “Yes; -he's so in¬ 
tellectual she doesn’t know beans.”— 
Philadelphia Record. 
“Your wife,” remarked the visitor, 
preparing a compliment, “has a liquid 
voice.” “Liquid!” repeated Henpeck, 
musingly. “Oh, yes! it—er—never dries 
up.”—Credit Lost. 
“Didn’t you send any of your chickens 
to the poultry show?” “No; I’ve noticed 
that when a hen acquires a taste for so¬ 
ciety she gets too - tuck-up to lay eggs.” 
—Chicago Record. 
Parson Meekins (to convict): “My 
friend, remember we are here to-day and 
gone to-morrow.” Convict (calmly): 
“You might be, but I ain’t.”— Baltimore 
Jewish Comment. 
Ethf-l (to her younger brother, who 
had been whipped): “Don’t mind, 
Brother, don’t mind.” Brother (between 
sobs): “That’s just what I was licked 
fer.”—Columbus (Ohio) State Journal. 
A neighbor meeting a little one in 
the street, said: “Good morning, my 
little dear. I never can tell you and 
your sister apart. Which of the twins 
are you?” And the little one made an¬ 
swer: “I’m the one what’s out walkin’.” 
—Credit Lost. 
“Oh, my friends, there are some spec¬ 
tacles that one never forgets!” said a 
lecturer, after giving a graphic descrip¬ 
tion of a terrible accident he had wit¬ 
nessed. “I’d like to know where they 
sells ’em,” remarked an absent-minded 
old lady in the audience.—Collier’s 
Weekly.

HALLOCK’S Success 85 £ WEEDER and Cultivator 
Pays for Itself tlie First Season, say^.^ mers who have Used It. 
Y’oungstown, O., May 31.1899. 
Please accept thanks for your kindness. You appear to be the most liberal manufacturers we have 
ever dealt with. We wish to sav that this is the third year we have used your weeder, and we are 
very much pleased with it. We used it for corn, 
New Castle, Pa. 
1 have had splendid results 
potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., with wonder¬ 
ful results. 7 s * 
We had a good two-horse cultivator at ttq 
time we bought your “Success” weeder, a q 
we state truthfully that we have not used 
cultivator since, as one small horse and yo. 
weeder will do more and better work than two 
teams and cultivators. The teams, of course, 
can be used for other work, which means a big 
saving. Yours truly, J. K. Gray & Son. 
" r 'r, 
-O <V 
■“v 
a been going to write you for some time in regard to the weeder. 
•~v ,his year. Now I will tell you how l used it and what the results were. 
•f 7 st 1 used It on my wheat in the spring. I could scarcely see any wheat at all, it was so winter- 
. My hired man wanted to plow up the ground and sow oats. He said there would not be five 
sis of wheat on the three acres and I thought so myself, but 1 said, We will sow timothy and 
ar on it," and so we did and then put the weeder on it, and we put some stones on the weeder so as 
sake It stir up the ground good. Well, 1 had 25 bushels of wheat and a r • 
. Before I did so my man said to me, We won t have no oats this j ear, 
Then I put it on my oats. 
The field looked as yellow as gold. We had it exceedingly dry here last 
id 1 about agreed with him. 
pring, 
'Je: ' 
If'everyone would work their weeders in their oats and wheat It would pay them big. 
people in this part are very slow in starting their weeders that they do not get half the good out of 
them that they might. They have found out this year from my experience how to work it, and next 
year they are going to start right in time and keep the weeder going. 
You can count on a big weeder trade from this section next year. \ ours, J. K. w rignt.
