THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
April 12, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
The widow mourned for thirty days, 
Her grief seemed far beyond endurance; 
And then she turned to blighter ways— 
Her loss was covered by insurance. 
—Indianapolis News. 
“Why do they call money ‘cold 
cash’?” “I can’t imagine. When I have 
any it burns my fingers.”—Philadelphia 
Bulletin. 
Uncle Josh: “An’ when you git the 
microbes inside of yer, how do they give 
you disease?” Uncle Silas; “Well—er— 
I s’pose they don’t agree with yer!”— 
Puck. 
Farmer; “So you’ve had some experi¬ 
ence, have you?” New Man; “Yes, sir.” 
Farmer: “Well, what side of a cow do 
you sit on ter milk?” New Man: “The 
outside.”—Evening Wisconsin. 
“An’ he says there’s lots of farmers 
that says they can’t make farmin’ pay?” 
“Yes.” “An’ I says, ‘I’ll tell you what’s 
the matter with some of ’em. A man 
can’t raise crops with his mouth!’”— 
Puck. 
“Now that our engagement is off,” 
said the beautiful blonde, “I shall ex¬ 
pect you to return my photograph and 
lock of hair.” “I’ll return the photo,” 
replied the young man in the case, “but 
I want you to understand that I’m not 
advertising myself as a hair restorer.”— 
Chicago News. 
“How long has the minister been 
preaching?” whispered the stranger, 
who had wandered into the church and 
sat down away back. “About 30 years, 
I believe,” replied the other occupant of 
the pew. “That being the case,” re¬ 
joined the stranger, “I guess I’ll stay. 
He must be nearly done.”—Chicago 
News.

WHEN THE DAY IS DONE 
There’s a deal of satisfaction in honest toil; the degree, of course, is heightened 
when the the toil is free from worry. How much better does the farmer feel, with how 
much lighter heart does he look upon life when, after a day in the harvest field, he can 
recall none of the annoyances and vexatious delays peculiar to so-called “cheap” 
machinery! 
DEERING LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS 
are the outcome of many years’ practical experience, both in handling and making har¬ 
vesting machines, which means a great deal. Deering Ideals are so constructed that 
they not only do their work well in the beginning, but they continue to do so, running 
steadily year in and year out, as only machines that are first-class thought products 
can run. There are many matters of detail about machines of this sort which, if 
developed on right lines, make a wonderful difference in results. 
Would like to interest you. The new Deering Annual for 1902 is a good introduction. 
All Deering agents supply it. Or you can write to the company.
