RHEUMATISM 
' Cured 
Through the Feet 
External remedy so successful that 
the makers send it FREE ON 
APPROVAL to anybody. 
TRY IT. 
If 100,000 men and women, suffering 
with every kind of rheumatism, acute or 
chronic, have been cured by a harmless 
draft on the foot, isn’t it worth a trial? 
Send your name to the Magic Foot 
Draft Co. They have so much confidence 
in the merit of the drafts that they send 
them to every sufferer in the world they 
can hear of—without a cent in advance. 
You pay One Dollar when satisfied with 
the benefit you receive—otherwise you 
pay nothing—you decide. 
The Drafts are worn on the soles of 
the feet because the entire circulatory 
and nervous systems are most easily 
reached through the extremely sensitive 
skin at this point; but they cure rheu¬ 
matism in every part of the body, to stay 
cured, by drawing the acid' poisons out 
of the blood through the foot pores. 
Write to-day to the Magic Foot Draft 
Co..W.N. 12 Oliver Bldg., Jackson, Mich., 
for a pair of Drafts free on approval and 
valuable free booklet on rheumatism.

Once more we wish to remind you 
that a copy of the special number of 
last week will be sent as long as the 
supply lasts to new subscribers as they 
come in. To introduce The R. N.-Y. we 
will send it 10 weeks for 10 cents, and 
include this number. If you have not 
sent one name of a neighbor yet, now 
is the time to do it. 
For the month of February we had 
the largest subscription returns of 
which we have any records for this 
month. The increase over last year was 
65 per cent, and last February was 21 
per cent of an increase over the year 
previous. This gives some idea of the 
steady growth of the paper. \ 
In March, 1903, Lewis E. Benedict,Lutherville, Md., 
sold a New York State farmer a registered transfer¬ 
red heifer calf for $10. He has never sent the registry 
certillcate, and the calf Is not registered on the books 
of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. Mr. Benedict 
neglects to reply to letters about It, and reports say 
he has no real estate equity. 
Bast week reference was made inad- 
ver tently to the catalogue of Babcock & 
Nash, Bridgman, Mich. By examina¬ 
tion of our reference records we find 
that these people are not considered re¬ 
sponsible. Reports say they do not pay 
their bills, and accounts against them 
are not collectible. Under the circum¬ 
stances remittance in advance for 
goods is hardly advisable. 
Reports come to us that the Farmers’ 
Marketing Company, West Seneca, N. 
Y., have agents out through New York 
State selling stock to farmers. Old 
readers will remember that this com¬ 
pany was recently organized in the 
State of Oregon to take over the stock 
of the American Farm Company of 
Buffalo, N. Y. It is reported that they 
are now canvassing In Montgomery and 
Fulton counties, and that they have or¬ 
ganized a branch at Fort Plain, where 
the farmers have subscribed in the 
neighborhood of $20,000, and erected a 
cheap building. It will also be remem¬ 
bered that the Attorney General of 
Ohio has brought suit to prevent their 
doing business in that State on alleged 
fraudulent grounds. The representa¬ 
tives of the company are under indict¬ 
ment by the Grand Jury in Ford 
County, Ill., on complaints made and 
evidence produced by the farmers of 
that county. The plant they establish¬ 
ed at Linesville, Pa., was sold out by 
(he sheriff, and we understand the place 
at Hartwick, N. Y., is closed. They 
have instituted suits for alleged libel 
against papers and individuals In New 
York, Ohio, Illinois and possibly in 
other States, but none of them has been 
followed up to trial, and a farmer in 
Otsego County who has refused to pay 
for the stock subscribed for on alleged 
fraudulent grounds had a decision from 
the Supreme Court ordering the trial to 
be held if at all in Otsego County. The 
suit has never been pushed. Ulster 
County farmers refused to pay, and no 
attempt has been made to collect. In 
all cases where a branch is organized it 
is alleged that farmers put up from 
$15,000 to $20,000, for which a building 
costing $1,200 to $1,500 is erected. Be¬ 
fore investing in any cooperative com¬ 
pany or other enterprise it will pay to 
make a thorough Investigation of the 
company selling the stock, and a law¬ 
yer’s fee is usually a good investment. 
Before you agree to put up any money 
just go yourself and investigate any 
branch that has been in operation for 
a year or more, or write J. M. Sheets.

Griffith & Turner, Seedsmen, of Bal¬ 
timore, Md., state that their warehouse 
and store were outside of the burned dis¬ 
trict and that their stock of carefully se¬ 
lected seeds and supplies for the Spring 
trade Is in perfect condition. Send for 
their catalogue. 
The smoke house is often a source of 
worriment, vexation and expense. A 
method now employed to smoke meats is 
to use Krauser’s liquid extract of smoke. 
It is applied to the meat with a brush or 
sponge. Write for information to E.

“Moore Bros.. Veterinary Surgeons, Al¬ 
bany, N. Y.: We have not had a case of 
milk fever since we began using your Gen¬

New Brunswick, N. J.’’ Enough said. 
On December 31, 1903, there was made 
from Syracuse, N. Y., the largest individ¬ 
ual shipment ever made from that city 
and the largest shipment of manure 
spreaders ever made in the w'orld. It was 
a trainload of 40 cars, 1,800 feet long, of 
Success spreaders, the new machine of the 
Kemp & Burpee Mfg. Co., of Syracuse. 
The Success spreader Is a distinct improve¬ 
ment in several particulars on the cele¬ 
brated Kemp spreader manufactured by 
the same company. The shipment marks 
the limit of capacity of the enlarged Kemp 
& Burpee factories for 15 days. The signal 
appreciation of the new Success spreader 
wherever Its advantages are known, is 
shown by the fact that another shipment 
of like character to other western points 
Is to be made shortly. 
FORTUNE TELLING 
Does not take into consideration the one 
essential to woman’s happiness — wom¬ 
anly health. There is many a woman 
whose future seems absolutely unclouded 
who is marked by her own condition for 
future disappointment and distress. 
The woman who 
neglects her health 
is neglecting the 
ver\ foundation of 
all good fortune. 
For without health 
love loses its lustre 
and gold is but 
dross. 
Womanly health 
may he retained or 
regained by the 
use of Dr. Pierce’s 
Favorite Prescrip¬ 
tion. It establishes 
regularity, dries 
the drains which 
weaken women, 
heals inflamma¬ 
tion and ulcera¬ 
tion and cures 
female weakness. 
It makes weak 
women strong, 
sick women well. 
Dr. Pierce offers $500 reward for women 
who cannot be cured of the above dis¬ 
eases. His "Prescription” has been so 
successful in curing thousands of cases 
in the past third of a century that he 
makes this remarkable offer to show his 
confidence. 
" I have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favor¬ 
ite Prescription,” writes Miss M. Fyfe, of Orillia, 
Simcoe Co., Ontario, "and two bottles of the 
‘ Pleasant Pellets ’ as you advised for congestion 
of uterus, ovaries, and weakness, and can safely 
say that your medicine has been the means of 
restoring me to good health again, which I had 
not had for over three years, until taking your 
medicine. I thank you very much for your kind 
and prompt attention to mvletter asking advice.” 
"Favorite Prescription” has the testi¬ 
mony of thousands of women to its com¬ 
plete cure of womanly diseases. 
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets clear the 
complexion and sweeten the breath.

Just Plain Sense 
It doesn't require any great wisdom 
or knowledge to get on in the world- 
just plain, sense. 
T HAT’S why the most prosperous and 
successful farmers in the country, 
for the most part, are using our wheels 
or our wagons. That’s why more of our

labor and repair bills. They pay for 
themselves and they give satisfac¬ 
tion. If you don’t know about them, you 
ought—they’re a mighty good thing to

sense” for you to investi¬ 
gate? We’ll send you our
