BUSINESS BITS. 
Wagons that are kept well greased with 
Frazer’s axle grease run lighter, last 
longer, and spare horseflesh. A box of the 
grease should be kept in the wagon house 
all the time. 
W. T. WiusoN. of Brownstown, Ill., says 
that he has dishorned 1.000 cattle with the 
Webster convex dishorner, and prefers it 
to all others. The convex is made by Geo. 
Webster, Box 64, Christiana, Pa. 
'Fhe Eastern Shore Poultry Yards, Parks- 
ley, Va., were established three years ago. 
The exhibits of these yards have captured 
prizes at many prominent shows, and cus¬ 
tomers report their eggs from 75 to itO per 
cent fertile. 
Jelliffe, Wright & Co., 284 Washington 
St., New York, are extensive dealers in 
live stock and dressed meats. Those hav¬ 
ing cattle, calves, lambs or live poultry to 
send to this market should write to them 
for quotations and shipping instructions. 
If you send five cents to C. C. Stelle, 81 
Fifth ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., you will re¬ 
ceive a catalogue and free sample of Post’s 
improved Eureka sap spout, the kind with 
the air trap, that brings out more sap 
more days than any other device. Agents 
are wanted to handle these goods. 
“Get something done,” is the way O. S. 
Kelly Co., of low'a City, Iowa, puts it In 
advising the use of an engine to do a day’s 
grinding with their Duplex grinder. There 
is no doubt that this plan would save time 
and expense when the power can be had, 
and once done, the supply of fuel is always 
ready. If you wish to learn about home 
grinding, write these people concerning it 
and ask for their catalogue. 
Gas and gasoline engines are becoming 
popular for farm power, because of econ¬ 
omy in running, and of time in starting, 
and also on account of the small space 
occupied. To start up a steam power usu¬ 
ally takes about an hour to get under full 
headway. The gas engine is ready for 
bu.siness in a minute or two. The Webster 
Mfg. Co., Chicago, Ill., make one as small 
as 1% horse power. If interested at all in 
small power, send for their catalogue. 
The self-holding dustpan made by the 
Carpenter Novelty Co.. Port Chester, N. Y., 
does away with the tiresome bending over 
necessary in handling the old style of dust 
pan. It has an upright handle 21 inches 
long, and is so arranged that the weight of 
the handle holds the front edge of the pan 
close to the floor, so that the dust may be 
swept into it without removing either hand 
from the broom. When not in use it may 
be folded in convenient form for hanging 
up. 
The Michigan grass seeder has for nearly 
40 years been sowing such seeds as clover, 
Timothy, millet, flax, Hungarian grass, etc. 
The seed box is close to the wheel, so that 
little weight falls upon Ihe operator, the 
walking being the only tiresome thing in 
its use. It will sow from 25 to 40 acres per 
day, any desired amount to the acre. It is 
entirely unaffected by the wind, so that 
seed can be sown whenever the ground is 
in the right condition, without regard to 
the wind or weather. The seed-box is 
placed on springs, permitting the wheel to 
pass over obstructions easily and without 
jar, and assuring accurate seeding on rough 
or stony ground. Send to Seeder & Ham¬ 
mock Chair Co.. Homer, Mich., for prices 
and circulars, and one of their combined 
calendars and booklets. 
I HAVE used liquid grafting wax made as 
you direct on page 37, and did not like it 
for the reason that it would not yield to 
the new growth when dry without crack¬ 
ing. The best wax I ever used was made 
as follows: Five pounds of good resin, one 
of beeswax and one pint of raw linseed oil; 
melt resin and beeswax, then add oil; cool 
in water and pull. s. a. e. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you will get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See our guaranteeSth page.
