THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
We would like our old friends to keep 
in mind that introductory price, 
Ten Weeks for 10 Cents 
to those friends and neighbors who do 
not know the paper. It would be a very 
gracious reminder for Christmas to order 
a 10 weeks’ subscription for some friend. 
If living at a distance a brief note might 
be sent telling him of the remembrance. 
The following letter has been received 
during the week: 
Enclosed find one dollar and 10 names and 
addresses of persons to whom I want you to 
send The R. N.-Y. for 10 weeks. I am send¬ 
ing them free to these persons with the fol¬ 
lowing note: 
“Dear Friend: This will introduce to you 
sayings, and holds the reader spellbound 
from first to last. The publishers have 
sold nearly 1,000,000 copies. It is bound 
in cloth and retails at $1.50, and besides 
requires 10 cents postage extra. 
Send us one new subscription from a 
neighbor and his dollar, and we will send 
you a copy of this great book. Never 
mind how we can do it. The book is 
yours for the new name and the dollar.

Interest on Lapsed Mortgage. 
B gives R a second mortgage of $700 on 
his place. It has run 17 years; no interest 
has ever been paid or asked for, as the par¬ 
ties are relations. Can it be collected now 
in Connecticut? keader. 
Connecticut. 
In Connecticut no action can be brought 
The It. N.-Y., a very good friend of mine who 
will visit you for 10 weeks. If it proves a 
welcome guest introduce it to your friend also, 
and oblige yours very truly." 
My object is to start an endless chain sys¬ 
tem to introduce the paper into as many fam¬ 
ilies as possible during the long Winter days, 
which 1 think more propitious, as then every 
farmer has time to read it. I am confident 
it will “stick" after 10 weeks’ acquaintance. 
My motive for doing this is, first, to show my 
appreciation for what it has taught me. Sec¬ 
ond, 1 do not know any better way of doing 
a favor for anyone than to give them the 
same opportunity for self-improvement as I 
have myself, and at the same time helping a 
good thing along. The country is so overrun 
with representatives of the various so-called 
farm papers that when you tell a farmer that 
you would like to show him a good paper he 
will run to the nearest hay stack to hide, but 
1 find when I offer to send it free to him for 
10 weeks so he can prove its worth he wants 
iti I do not. believe in club rates, ns I think 
the paper is worth' its full subscription price 
to anyone, and if any Of the persons whose 
names I send you become yearly subscribers 
I would like the premiums, solely that I may 
use the money to send out more free trial 
subscriptions until I have the paper in every 
farm within driving distance of my home. 
New York. w. b. kurtz. 
It is friends like this who have made 
The R. N.-Y. what it is. A count last 
week showed that the paper goes to 8,000 
post offices where there is but one sub¬ 
scriber to each office. I am talking now 
to 8,000 farmers who are the only sub¬ 
scribers to The R. N.-Y. at their respec¬ 
tive post offices. Why cagnnot each one 
take it upon himself to increase the list at 
his place this month? A word now and 
then to a neighboring farmer will do it. 
Right here just a word about 
THE BUSINESS HEN. 
As fully explained last week, a copy of 
this book will be sent free and postpaid to 
subscribers on receipt of renewals for 1905. 
T h e whole 
expense o f 
writing, 
printing, j 
mailing and 
postage o n 
these books 
has been 
paid in ad¬ 
vance out of 
the surplus 
earnings o f 
last year. 
We call it 
your co-op¬ 
erative divi-r 
dend on the year’s business because 
of the assistance rendered by sub¬ 
scribers in increasing the list of sub¬ 
scribers, and for the service rendered in 
many other ways. It is going out now 
every day in cart loads. Yours will be in 
the mail the day we receive your renewal. 
If you want a cloth bound copy, send 25 
cents extra to cover extra cost of binding 
and extra postage. 
Would you like a good wholesome story 
for yourself and family to read during the 
Winter? David Harum is the story of a 
poor country boy who rose to a position 
of importance in the country town. He 
was a business man and banker, but hi? 
greatest pleasure was in “swapping 
horses.” A young clerk from the city be¬ 
comes a great favorite, and figures in a 
charming love .story that runs through the 
book. The story is full of witty and wise 
by sealed instruments, unless within 17 
years after the right to sue accrued. R 
therefore, would have to commence his ac¬ 
tion within 17 years, after the mortgage 
fell due, unless he was legally incapable 
to sue, when the mortgage matured, in 
which case he would have four years next 
ensuing after he became legally capable. 
Validity of Unreleased Mortgage. 
A certain piece of town or city property in 
the Slate of Nebraska was bought by present 
owner in 1S88, taxes all paid up and free 
of encumbrances up to the present time. 
Hut it appears on the records that a certain 
party gave a mortgage for $1,000 to a party 
in Wisconsin that has not been released on 
record. No one lias ever put any claim or 
any attempt for a claim since present owner 
come in possession of tlie property. Is not 
the above mortgage outlawed, even if on 
record? w. 
Texas. 
Under the laws of Nebraska no action 
can be brought to recover title or posses¬ 
sion of real estate unless within 10 years 
after the cause of action accrued, and this 
law also applies to mortgages. If, there¬ 
fore, the $1,000 mortgage became due by 
its terms more than 10 years since, it 
would seem that it could not now be en¬ 
forced. There are exceptions, however, 
which extend this period of limitation, as, 
for instance, where the holder of the mort¬ 
gage at the time it became due, was in¬ 
sane, or an infant, or imprisoned, so that 
he was not in a position to enforce his 
rights. In such cases the time within 
which such action must be brought does 
not begin to run until the disability is 
removed. 
“A SECRET.” 
One great secret of youth and beauty for 
the young woman or the mother is the 
proper understanding of Ver womanly sys¬ 
tem and well-being. Every woman, young 
or old, should know herself and her phys¬ 
ical make up. A good way to arrive at 
this knowledge is to get a good doctor 
book, such, for instance, as the "People’s 
Common Sense Medical Adviser,” by R. V. 
Pierce, M. D., which can readily be pro¬ 
cured by sending twenty-one cents in one- 
cent stamps for paper-bound volume, or 
thirty-one cents for cloth-bound copy, ad¬ 
dressing Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y. 
The change from maidenhood to woman¬ 
hood is one that involves the whole body. 
The strain at this time upon the blood- 
forming structures may be too great. Dis¬ 
orders of the functions peculiarly feminine 
are nearly always dependent upon de¬ 
fective nutrition. In all such cases Dr. 
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is just the 
vegetable tonic for the female system. 
"I cannot express my thanks for the benefit I 
have received from Dr. Pierce's medicines, M 
writes Mrs. Julius Wehrly, of Cambridge, Dor¬ 
chester Co., Md. "I took ‘Favorite Prescrip¬ 
tion ’ and feel that a perfect cure has been 
effected. I feel like thanking you for the kind 
and fatherly letters which you wrote.” 
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription was 
the first exclusively woman’s tonic on the 
market. It has sold more largely in the 
past third of a century than any other 
medicine for women. Do not let the drug¬ 
gist persuade you to try some compound 
that has not had the test of so many years’ 
success. 
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets should be 
used with "Favorite Prescription’ when¬ 
ever a laxative is required. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
II. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal." See guarantee, page 8.
