BUSINESS BITS. 
If you are building a new silo this year, 
or have an old one, you should know about 
Brightwood Silo Coating. It is a preserva¬ 
tive, and makes the silo water and acid- 
proof. Write the Agricultural Store, 
Springfield, Mass. Also ask about Crane's 
Prolific Silage corn. 
The mowing machine attachment offered 
this week by the Vine & Root Machinery 
Co., Port Huron, Mich., will appeal to 
many of our readers for handling peas and 
similar crops. This company also makes the 
Mead hay press and other tools. Write 
concerning your needs in their line. 
The Cleveland & Whitehill Co., of New- 
burg, N. Y., make a specialty of farmers' 
garments. Their Keystone union-made 
overalls and pants are famous for their 
wearing qualities, and never rip. If your 
dealer does not keep the Keystone write 
to the company and they will supply you 
direct from the factory. 
The Orangeville Agricultural Works, Or¬ 
angeville, Pa., would like to send their 
catalogue of their Twentieth Century 
thrasher, tread power, lever powers, en¬ 
gines, silage and fodder cutters and crush¬ 
ers to any reader of The R. N.-Y. having 
use for such machines. The machines 
made by this house are fully guaranteed. 
A constant and reliable water supply is 
one of the problems of country life. A 
windmill does very satisfactory work un¬ 
til there comes a calm of a few days, and 
then the owner has to resort to the pump 
handle. The most all-around satisfactory 
power for this work is a Rider-Ericsson 
hot-air pump, and you are sure of a sup¬ 
ply whether the wind blows or not. There 
are more than 20,000 of them now in use. 
Write for catalogue “C 4,” which tells all 
about them. Address Rider-Ericsson En¬ 
gine Co., 35 Warren St., New York. 
A COW GOES TO COLLEGE. 
We take the following little story from 
the Berea Quarterly—a little magazine de¬ 
voted to the interests of Berea College, 
Kentucky. As probably many of our read¬ 
ers know, this college is located in the 
mountains, and is intended to help the 
mountaineers who lack educated leaders: 
“When I was 14 years old, I saw I 
couldn’t learn any more at the free school, 
and I wasn't satisfied not to know more 
than I did. My older brother had tried a 
term at a small academy not far away, 
but it cost so much he had to come home. 
He said if it took that to get an education 
he would have to go without. I sent to all 
the colleges I had heard of for catalogues. 
After studying them all over I concluded 
that Berea College was the only one that 
gave a poor boy a chance, and I made up 
my mind that Berea was the place for me. 
My mother was an Abolitionist and had 
heard Mr. Fee preach, and she was will¬ 
ing 1 should go, but my father had just 
the opposite beliefs and did not want me 
to go where colored people were admitted. 
But when I showed him the advantages I 
would have there and the chance to earn 
part of my expenses, he said he would 
study about it. Weeks passed and neither 
of us spoke about Berea. Finally one night 
when 1 was cutting the firewood, father 
came out and sat down for a talk. He 
said he had studied about it right smart, 
and if my brother and I wanted to go to 
Berea we could. Then we decided to take 
our sister along to cook for us. So all 
three of us came. 
“That first year my brother and I worked 
on the farm and at janitor work. Our sister 
went to school and got the meals, and it 
took even less money than we had expect¬ 
ed. It seemed too good to be true that it 
was for us to have an education. We went 
home the next Summer and told the good 
news to the other brothers. I told one of 
my older brothers that I could arto»«J to 
wait better than he could; that he could 
go to Berea and I would work a year at 
home. So the second year I was with my 
father on the farm. 
“At the close of the third year all of our 
family of eight, brothers and sisters, had 
been to Berea, except two, and last Sum¬ 
mer when I went home I studied how I 
could persuade another brother to come. 
I said to him: ‘You are not fit to be a 
farmer till you know more. You don’t 
know what’s in the dirt any more than the 
crows that fly over it. You need to go to 
Berea to learn how to be a good farmer 
He laughed at me. He asked me If going 
to college had made our neighbor’s boys 
better farmers. They had spent a lot of 
money going through college and when 
they came home they could spend n.ore 
money than ever, but did not know how to 
make it off the farm. I told him that at 
Berea they show a fellow how to farm, and 
he would make more money after being 
there a year. Before Fall, I had persuaded 
him to take my advice, and he joined the 
three brothers and two sisters in planning 
for a year at Berea. This brother advised 
taking a cow with us to furnish milk. He 
found that it would cost $11.03 to take her 
on the cars. He said: ‘The rest of you go 
on the cars and the cow and I will be in 
Berea on Saturday night, and we won’t 
pay any carfare, either.’ He was as good 
as his word. They walked the whole dis¬ 
tance of 130 miles in four days, with an 
outlay of only $1.50. My brother is so well 
satisfied with what he has got this year, 
that he plans to come two more years and 
finish the farm course. My father is de¬ 
lighted with what Berea has done for us, 
He says if he had only known about Berea 
20 years ago, he would have moved neax 
Berea and given all his children a better 
chance.”
