colored advertising cards issued by tliis 
hcuse are a great feature. It will pay you 
well to send for them and look them over. 
It is not at all strange that one’s mind 
turns Instinctively to the name Studebaker 
whenever the subject of wagons is men¬ 
tioned. The Studebaker Bros. Mfg. Co., 
of South Bend. Ind., have been longer in 
the business of making wagons than any 
other firm in the country. In all the long 
years that the Studebaker wagon has been 
on the market, it has remained at the top 
of the now long list of wagons, as to qual¬ 
ity of material, workmanship, durability, 
linish and long continued wear. We need 
to submit but one instance as proof of 
Studebaker superiority. We refer to their 
world-famous slope shoulder spoke as 
compared with the square shoulder spoke 
used by other wagon manufacturers. You 
can see at a glance that the slope shoulder 
spoke has more wood in it, that it is in 
no way weakened and that it, and conse¬ 
quently the whole wheel structure, is in¬ 
finitely stronger. Well, it’s just that way 
with Studebaker wagons all over. It has 
taken more than 50 years of study, prac¬ 
tice and experience to bring about these 
present perfect results, but the man who 
buys a Studebaker wagon gets all that for 
nothing. You may not be able to see it "in 
looking casually at one of these wagons, 
but It is there as you will realize after 
using one for 10 years oi- more. In short, 
the Studebaker wagon is made in their 
factory, in their way. with their selected 
materials and with their matured experi¬ 
ence. Ask at your dealerk or write to the 
factory. Adilre.ss Studebaker Bros. Mfg.

Zenner Disinfectant Co., 100 Bates St., 
Detroit, Mich., has issued a little book, 
“Dipping Sheep for Profit.” It contains 
the opinion and experience of the best au¬ 
thorities on stock matters in the country. 
It can be had for the asking by any R. 
N.-Y. reader. 
“Jones, he pays the freight,” is a fa¬ 
miliar phrase to most readers of The R. 
N.-Y. The author of the phrase is, of 
course, Jones, of Binghamton, N. Y., who 
is the noted scale manufacturer. He sells 
scales to the farmer direct, and always 
pays the freight himself. 
Dairymen evidently realize how seriously 
the flies Interfere with milch cows. During 
the hot Summer months it is impossible for 
the cattle to do their best when tortured 
by these blood-thirsty pests. The best evi¬ 
dence of the demand for something to end 
this nuisance is the way the advertisers 
are responding. Various smears, liquids 
and po'wders are offered for the relief of 
cattle, and they do their work well. It 
was a good day for the cow when the wise 
men started to study out these fly cures. 
The Asplnwall Manufacturing Co., Jack- 
son, Mich., handle a large number of use¬ 
ful devices. Their potato planter is auto¬ 
matic-one man and a team doing all the 
work of furrowing, dropping seed and fer¬ 
tilizer and covering. The four-row sprayer 
is another good tool, and the potato sorter 
does the work of human Angers. There are 
also churns, domestic tools, post hole 
diggers, small sprayers, lawn swing.s, weed- 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you will get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See our guarantee 8th page.

The New Horticulture 
BY H. M. STHINCrELLOW. 
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the most 
interesting books on horticulture that ever was printed. 
Most reading farmers have heard of the now famous 
“Stringfellow Method” of planting trees, but few 
understand clearly what it is. This book tells the whole 
story in clear cut, forcible style, which all can under¬ 
stand. Not only is the theory of close root-pruning 
carefully explained, but the general principles of garden¬ 
ing and fruit-growing are discussed. Mr. Stririgfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents.
