PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
For strictly introductory purpose this 
paper will be sent 
Ten Weeks for 10 Cents. 
Orders may come through old sub¬ 
scribers or direct from new readers them¬ 
selves. We are making the best paper we 
know how to put up, and we want all the 
progressive farmers in this country to get 
acquainted with it. 
In regard to the subscription work the 
following letter just received gives 
many strong suggestions: 
There are in this community persons sim¬ 
ilar to myself who, either because they al¬ 
ready take others, or (lo not see the practical 
value of a farm paper, from whom you can¬ 
not coax even (lie 10 cents for a three months’ 
trial lo THE It. N.-Y. I, myself, took six 
agricultural papers previous to taking The 
it. N.-Y., and when my attention was called 
to your offer a year ago I had an extra dime 
which I sent: for a trial, with the result that 
when I made out my list at the beginning of 
(lie year I dropped all but The it. N.-Y. 
and one other farm paper; I have 
not felt the need of any information or 
advice on any matter that I did not tind it. 
In The It. N.-Y. I like it most because it is 
intensely practical, and is not composed of 
“set up" matter, hut is brimful of original 
matter on all up-to-date methods. Because 
of this fact I want you to send me 10 of your 
trial envelopes, and when I run across a "like¬ 
ly subject" I am going to send him the paper 
free for three months, and I am satisfied that 
it will prove Itself indispensable. After trial 
time expires I would suggest to your readers 
who think tiiey have received a dollar's worth 
more than their subscription price to send 
it free to some of their neighbors who ought 
to, but do not get a first-class farm paper 
(not a magazine of stories, advertisements 
and ha shed-up matters), and they will be do¬ 
ing a kindly act for their neighbor, as well 
as enabling the publishers of The It. N.-Y. 
to improve the paper to the extent that the 
Increased amount of subscriptions will justify. 
So you see, this Is really a selfish motive 
after all. w. B. Ktnrrz. 
New York. 
Mr. Kurtz really leaves little to be said, 
lie grasps the idea clearly. I he larger 
you make The R. N.-Y. family the 
greater power it has as a champion of 
farmers’ interests, and the more helpful it 
can and will be made in every way. If 
any other reader wants a dozen of those 
little envelopes for 10 weeks’ trial sub¬ 
scriptions, all he need do is to express a 
purpose to use them, and they will be 
promptly furnished. 
We have little room to talk about the 
new poultry book this week. Here is a 
comment from the November issue of a 
trade magazine: 
The Ron a i. New-Yorker has Issued a book 
entitled “The Business lien,” containing a 
vast amount of information for all who 
raise poultry. It is just such a practical 
book on the subject as one would naturally 
expect from an agricultural publication of 
the high standing of The Rural New 
Yorker. —Profitable Advertising. 
MARKET NEWS 
Butter has advanced two cents on extras 
and a little less on lower grades. Current 
receipts are very light, and a further rise 
is not Improbable, though a wholesale price 
much above 25 cents will drive a good many 
customers to storage butter. 
The Ilor Situation favors growers who 
still have their crop in hand. An effort is 
being made to induce a large number of grow¬ 
ers in Oregon and Washington to hold for 35 
cents straight. It is said that about 5,000 
bales are thus tied up, and 3,000 more are 
expected to lie Included. 
Eoos continue to rise. The demand for 
fresh gathered has lessened a little, owing to 
high retail prices, but it is still heavy enough 
to handle all receipts of tills grade. Refrig¬ 
erator stock is working out well, and, as 
usual, large numbers of those storage eggs 
are being sold as fresh. If prime when put 
in (lie freezers last April or May they tire 
likely to be better now than current gather¬ 
ings which have spent a week in a warm 
country grocery before shipment. 
A imm.es.— There is no special improve¬ 
ment in prices here, but a lot of the wind¬ 
falls and low grade stuff that has crowded 
this market has been worked off, so that there 
is less pressure to sell. At present McIntosh 
brings tlie highest price, In some cases us 
much as $4 per barrel. The reason is that 
this variety is ready for immediate use, anil 
lias a color and quality that is popular. It 
has all the good qualities of Fameuse 
(Snow) with the advantage of larger size. 
Those planting commercially for this market 
will find a moderate quantity of McIntosh 
profitable. Reports from field operations, 
however, indicate a sharp advance in prices 
offered, and a good many cars shipped in bulk 
to store-houses and market. In many cases 
the buyers have come to the growers’ figures, 
but the wastage from storm ‘and frost has 
been so heavy that a rate of $1.75 per barrel 
does not mean nearly so much to the grower 
as it would a month ago. 
Pears are not very plentiful, and. the bet¬ 
ter table sorts sell well. The very low figures 
given on Kieffer (50 cents to $1.50 per bar¬ 
rel) represent the culls of the crop largely, 
many of the better ones being in the ripening 
storage necessary to bring out the best that 
is in this fruit. It: is hard lo imagine a more 
worthless product than a cull Kieffer. The 
cheap restaurants, which furnish a course 
dinner for 20 or 25 cents, stew these pears 
and serve them as a side dish. 
Be In Time. —This is to emphasize a 
statement made in these notes last week re¬ 
garding poultry shipments for Thanksgiving, 
or in fact anything perishable intended for 
that, trade. The day after a holiday is al¬ 
ways dull in the market for this kind of 
produce, and as Saturday is often a poor 
market day, what is not sold before Thanks¬ 
giving is likely to lie over until the next 
week, entailing cost of cold storage or loss 
from spoiling. To ensure a good sale all of 
these supplies should be on hand not later 
than Monday, and the previous Friday or 
Saturday will not be too early. 
Veuetabi.es. —Choice onions are selling 
well, some Connecticut whites having brought 
$(J per barrel. There is a surplus of poor 
grades on hand, which go at prices that can¬ 
not leave much for the grower. Celery is 
dull and low, but will doubtless pick up soon, 
as the demand is always heavy during the 
holiday season. Northern grown peppers are 
very low. This is largely because they have 
been more or less touched by frost, so that 
they shrivel and rot quickly. But Florida 
peppers are coming along, and they take 
the choicest end of (lie trade. A crate hold¬ 
ing about a bushel of these fresh Floridas 
brings as much as a barrel of the nearby 
crops. Creen peas and beans are arriving 
from Florida, North and South Carolina, and 
when in fair condition bring good prices, but 
these goods become stale so quickly that a 
little delay on the way may cut. the selling 
price In two. It is nothing unusual for Ibis 
green stuff from the far South barely lo pay 
shipping charges. Cabbage is meeting a 
steady sale. Savoy and red bringing a slight 
premium. There is little change to report In 
potatoes, and no Indication that prices will 
advance for several weeks at least:. Rot in 
some sections is making havoc, and buyers 
are cautious about handling stock from those 
localities. w. w. n. 
THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL. 
Much has been written about "the Amer¬ 
ican girl” and her reasons for being pre¬ 
eminently tlie most 
attractive girl in 
the world. In 
bringing up girls 
mothers can’t be 
too careful to let 
their daughters de¬ 
velop all their nat¬ 
ural charms to the 
utmost. 
The crucial epoch 
of a woman’s life 
is the change from 
maidenhood to 
womanhood. It 
involves the whole 
body and manifests 
itself in'the nerv¬ 
ous disposition at this time. 
Nervous or sick women are afforded the 
opportunity of a lifetime, for the makers 
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now 
offer $500 reward, for women who cannot 
be cured. Backed up by over a third of a 
century of remarkable and uniform cures, 
a record such as no other remedy for the 
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women 
ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce’s 
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war¬ 
ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money 
of the United States for any case of Leu- 
corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or 
Falling of the Womb, which they cannot 
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable 
trial of their means of cure. 
"I cannot praise your medicine highly 
enough,” writes Mrs. Jennie Hippenhamer, of 
Huntcrtown, Indiana. "I began taking Ur. 
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and took it stead¬ 
ily for six months. I was not once sick at stom¬ 
ach, never vomited once. Took the ‘ Favorite 
Prescription ’ three times a dav and when in 
severe pain took an extra teaspoonful of medi¬ 
cine which checked the pain. I felt pleasant all 
the time and did not get nervous as I used to. 
When my baby girl came last August she was 
healthy. She is now eleven months old. Ain 
thirty-eight years old and never got through so 
easily in all my life. Why should women suffer 
when they can get through so easily? I ain 
able to do quite a washing and ironing which I 
could not cfo for eight yearo before.” 
As a tonic for women who are nervous, 
sleepless, worn-out and run-down, "Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription” is unequaled. 
For constipation, the true, scientific cure 
is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Mild, 
harmless, yet sure. No other pill can 
compare with them.
