BUSINESS BITS. 
One housekeeper of our acquaintance 
says that she has tried many washing 
machines, but the only one which has met 
her expectations is the 1900 washer. It is 
a great labor saver, removing all the dirt, 
and there is absolutely no risk of tearing 
the clothes. No housewife should be with¬ 
out one—just see the liberal offer made by 
the 1900 Washer Co., of Binghamton, N. 
Y., in this issue. 
The name “Dederick” has b6en so long 
associated with the making of good hay 
presses, Mr. Dederick having been the 
originator of the hay-baling idea, that a 
new press from his factory is certain to 
attract more than passing attention. We 
believe that hay growers everywhere will 
welcome Dederlck’s new continuous belt 
hdy press. We know everyone who grows 
hay will be interested in it, both on ac¬ 
count of its good work and its low cost. 
Send for circulars to P. K. Dederlck’s 
Sons, Tivoli St., Albany, N. Y. 
We are in receipt of an interesting let¬ 
ter from Minard D. Harder, Cobleskill, 
N. Y., in reference to the new manage¬ 
ment of the Empire Agricultural Works, 
with which he has been connected since 
its establishment, in 1859, and which he 
owned and managed from 1870 to 1897 when, 
on account of impaired health, he resigned 
the business to his son, George D. Har¬ 
der, who conducted it until his death in 
February last. After being taken ill, he 
gave his brother-in-law, Edgar S. Ryder, 
power of attorney, also making him sole 
executor of his estate—his son, Frarik H. 
Ryder, Mr. Harder’s grandson, acting as 
general office manager, a young man of 
unblemished character, who, through his 
four-year college course, was training him¬ 
self for a business career, and that busi¬ 
ness the Harder Agricultural Works. Mr. 
Edgar S. Ryder is a man not only of irre¬ 
proachable character, but entirely respon¬ 
sible financially. In regard to the quality 
of the machinery sent out, it contains the 
same perfect material and superior work¬ 
manship as heretofore, its construction 
being under the vigilant eye of the same 
superintendent, S. S. Myers, who has held 
this position, as also many of the skilled 
workmen under him for many years. 
The celebrated Fearless horse power 
thrashers and cleaners have been manu¬ 
factured and sold by this house now for 
38 years. The Harder round silo with con¬ 
tinuous opening front was originated and 
patented by George D. Harder. This 
house enjoys an enviable and merited rep¬ 
utation, and the present management can 
be depended upon to maintain it in the 
future. 
The expre.ssion “O. K.” is attributed to 
I’resident Jackson, who is said to have 
written “O. K.” for “all correct.” The 
letters are now used very generally 
throughout the United States to signify 
that all is correct. Elsewhere in this issue 
i.^ shown an illustration in connection 
with which the letters “O. K.” are used. 
The picture shows a farmer providing 
himself with the McCormick binder. With 
the machine he is buying he will have no 
difficulty in harvesting his grain crops 
successfully, and any farmer could well 
afford to imitate this man. If you haven’t 
a McCormick call on the McCormick agent 
in your locality, or write at once to the 
McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., Chi¬

maining abroad until October. The P&B 
goods are very popular abroad. In China, 
Ruberoid roofing covers the barracks of 
both the United States and German troops 
quartered there.. Ruberoid is also used 
in the De Beers mines in South Africa, 
and a large lot went to the Klondike fields 
in Alaska a few months ago. Ruberoid is 
adaptable to all climates; hence its uni¬ 
versal popularity.

The New Horticulture 
BY He Me STRINCrELLOWe 
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. Stringfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents.
