THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
May 3, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
We once had a blasphemous parrot 
That swore till we just couldn’t bear it, 
When we tied up his beak 
He learned in one week 
In the deaf and dumb language to swear 
It! —Life. 
“What’s the matter, Uncle Si?” 
“Matter? I’m mad clean through. 
Here’s brown sugar gone up half a cent 
jest as I’m gettin’ ready to make maple 
molasses.”—Indianapolis News. 
Neighbor: “The baby suffers from 
sleeplessness, does it?” Mr. Jeroloman 
(haggard and hollow eyed): “I didn't 
say it suffered. It seems to enjoy it. 
I’m the one that suffers.”—Chicago 
Tribune. 
“Why are you crying, little boy?” 
“One of them artists paid me a dime to 
sit on the fence while he sketched me.” 
“Well, is there any harm in that?” 
“Yes, sir; it was a barb-wire fence.”— 
Philadelphia Record. 
Teacher: “What zone is this in which 
we live?” Johnny: “Temp’rate.” Teach¬ 
er: “Correct. Now, what is meant by a 
‘temperate zone?’ ” Johnny: “It’s a 
place where it’s freezin’ cold in Winter 
an’ red hot in Summer.”—Philadelphia 
Press. 
Bobby: “Mother, what’s that black 
band around Mr. Jenlcs’s arm for?” 
Mother: “Hush, dear; he might hear 
you. Mrs. Jenks is dead; that is a sign 
of mourning.” Bobby: “Oh! I thought 
p’r’aps it was to keep the caterpillies 
from crawling up.”—Judge. 
Postal Clerk: “Here’s a note from 
a man complaining that his mail isn’t 
delivered regularly.” Chief: “What’s 
his name?” Clerk: “Vladivoledowosch- 
owslti.” Chief: “Huh! with that name 
one would think he had all the letters 
he needed.”—Catholic Standard and 
Times.

WHY FRET AND WORRY? 
• 
T HE farmer shown in the illustration is 
the picture of despair, because he has 
been using cheap, poorly-made Binder 
Twine. It is an illustration of the old adage, 
“Save at the tap and leak at the bung.” 
He is a loser in everyway—in time,in money, 
and in temper. A FARMER WHO USES 
DEERING 
BINDER TWINE 
HAS NO TROUBLE, because it is made 
upon honor, and is just what the tag says 
it is, “even and long, smooth and strong.” 
It is made from the best qualities of fibre in 
the largest Twine Mills in the world, where 
one-third of the world’s supply of binder 
twine is made. 700,000 farmers used Deer- 
ing Binder Twine last season, and they 
will all use it again this year.

WHY THEY COMPARE. 
When an agent doesn’t handle what you ask for 
he will say that what he has is “just as 
good.” Other makes are frequent¬ 
ly compared with the 
KRAUS 23? CULTIVATOR. 
That is complimentary. We like it. It means that 
the Kraus is the standard and that you will be 
wise if you pin your faith to it. It is high wheeled, 
light draft, perfectly balanced, simply construct¬ 
ed, easily operated. Any boy can work it. 
Shovels adjust for wide or narrow rows, depth 
and angle. Ingenious in dodging plants or ob¬ 
structions. Wheels and shovels instantly thrown 
to right or left by foot levers. A perfect hillside 
worker. Four, six or eightbeam-pin, spring hoe 
or spring tooth. Catalogue free.

The Great Value 
and the marvelous healing power of 
Veterinary Pixine 
has never been made more manifest than 
when in emergency a speedy and per¬ 
manent healing ointment is urgently 
needed. 
Apply it, rub it in on bare spots, in¬ 
flammatory swelling,old sores, scratches, 
grease heel and speed cracks. It pene¬ 
trates and soothes, and the horse grows 
well as he toils throughout the day. 
Absolutely antiseptic—scientific, un¬ 
failing. Indorsed by stock-raisers and 
trainers throughout the United States 
and Europe. Investigate; money hack 
if it fails.
