BUSINESS BITS. 
The Farmers Handy Wagon Co., of Sag¬ 
inaw, Mich., is distributing numbered cards 
showing their farm trucks, and each month 
they give a wagon to any farmer holding 
the card for that month. Farmers hold¬ 
ing the following numbers are entitled to 
wagons free: September, 4444 L; October, 
2110 Q; November, 100 U; December, 100 AA; 
January, 2503 K. 
Millions of dollars would be small valu¬ 
ation on the clothes worn to lint by the 
friction process of washing. Even this is 
a small item compared with the time and 
energy wasted in rubbing the clothes to this 
condition. Dodge & Zuill, Syracuse, N. Y.. 
seem to have solved the question of wash¬ 
ing clothes by simple air pressure, avoid¬ 
ing all rubbing. They make great claims 
for the merits of the Syracuse Easy washer, 
and are so well satisfied that purchasers 
will find it entirely satisfactory that they 
place it entirely on its merits, allowing pur¬ 
chasers to return the machine, after using 
it, if it is not entirely satisfactory. 
The Spramotor is a valuable spraying 
machine made by the Spramotor Company, 
combining many points of advantage. The 
business started at London, Canada, has 
grown to such proportions that a year ago 
a complete establishment was opened at 
Buffalo, N. Y., from which point all orders 
from the United States are filled. Highest 
honors were awarded the Spramotor at the 
Pan-American Exposition. Spraying has 
come into such general use by fruit and 
vegetable growers, farmers and stockmen, 
that many of our readers will be buying 
sprayers this season. The Spramotor Com¬ 
pany make a full line. Address them at 
Buffalo, N. Y., or London, Canada, and 
mention The R. N.-Y. 
One of the new features of the Michigan 
seeder is that its box rests on springs. 
These permit, of a rocking motion to the 
seed box, and allows the wheels to pass 
over obstructions easily and without jar. 
The seeding of rough, stony or frozen 
ground can be done accurately—a thing 
impossible with any seeder that has its 
seed box bolted rigidly to the wheelbarrow. 
The Michigan seeder weighs, complete, 
only 35 or 40 pounds, and with its large 
wheel and wide tire it is wheeled very 
easily; 25 to 40 acres per day is an ordin¬ 
ary day’s work. The walking is about all 
that is tiresome, as the weight is nearly 
all on the wheel. It can be adjusted and 
set to sow any amount per acre desired. 
Write the Seeder and Hammock Chair Co., 
Homer, Mich., for further particulars. 
The most serious symptoms of Lung and Throat 
affections can be relieved, and in the great majority

SUPERIOR FENCE MACHINE ( O. 
184 Grand River Ave., Detroit, Mich. ’ 
The New Horticulture 
BY H. M. STRING FELLOW. 
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the most 
interesting books on horticulture that ever was printed. 
Most reading farmers have heard of the now famous 
“Stringfellow Method” of planting trees, but few 
understand clearly what it is. This book tells the whole 
story in clear-cut, forcible style, which all can under¬ 
stand. Not only is the theory of close root-pruning 
carefully explained, but the general principles of garden¬ 
ing and fruit-growing are discussed. Mr. Stringfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents.

n EXT WINTER it will be * 
necessary for our farmers * 
to study the question of ► 
stock foods. Corn, the great ► 
stock grain, will he high in ► 
price, and substitutes must he 
provided for it. How can these 
substitutes be found ? Only by 
comparing other and cheaper foods with corn, and knowing beforehand y 
how they will affect the animal. This comparison may be done by study- ► 
ing analyses, but a farmer cannot afford to spend the Winter in experi- >. 
menting. lie must know beforehand what others have found out. He 
can learn this by studying Prof. W. A. Henry's great hook. Feeds and 
Feeding tells you just what you ought to know about foods and how to 
feed them. It is full and complete, and easy to read. Price, $2. *
