Wait until you see next 
week’s paper before you make 
out a lease for your farm. We 
shall print what is known in 
Western New York as A Model 
Farm Lease. Wait for it !

AN IMPORTANT MATTER. 
The publishers and editors wish to put a 
on the pulse of readers of the R. N.-Y. 
The pulse is a certain health indicator. 
We are in favor of a sound and healthy 
circulation of ideas among our readers. 
The slow, the quick, the wiry, the inter¬ 
mittent pulse—all these indicate an abnor¬ 
mal condition. If any of you are disgrun¬ 
tled about something we have said or some¬ 
thing we have not said, if you want special 
information on any subject, or if you are 
boiling over with ideas which you think we 
ought to have, your pulse is out of order. 
Put it under our finger by sending us your 
thoughts, and we will try to reduce the 
pulse to a normal condition. 
ANOTHER POINT 
intbis connection. Closely associated with 
the finger, is tbe 
This member was made famous by Master 
J. Horner many years ago. This person in¬ 
stituted a principle of business which has 
never been superseded by modern methods 
Horner got close to his field of enterprise, 
he went to work with his most effective 
tool, he got—a plum. Now the publishers 
merely suggest that shrewd advertisers 
should put themselves in Horner’s place— 
using our advertising columns in the place 
of his thumb. That’s all. 
O merchant ! in thine hour of e e e, 
If on this paper you should c c c, 
And look for something to ap p p p 
Your yearning for greenback v v v, 
Take our advice, and be y y y ; 
Go straightway out and adverti i i i. 
You’ll find the project of some u u u; 
Neglect can offer no ex q q q. 
Be wise at once—prolong your d a a a, 
A silent business soon de k k k.

OUR hired man said last evening : “ That 
is the best paper you have,” as he laid 
down a copy of the Rural New-Yorker, 
and we have five weekly papers and get 
quite a number of monthlies, and I think 
he iB about right.—S. H. R., Cabot, Vt.

SATURDAY, March 8, 1890. 
John Jacob Astor, one of the richest if 
not the richest man in the world, died in 
this city last Saturday at the age of 07 years 
and eight months, leaving abouc $200,000,- 
000 to his only child William Waldorf 
Astor, late United States Minister to Italy, 
an author and athlete.The members 
of the South Dakota legislature have do¬ 
nated half their salaries to pay for seeds for 
impoverished farmers, as the State Con¬ 
stitution prohibits the State from appro¬ 
priating money for such a purpose.. 
Ex-Governor English of Connecticut died 
at his home in New Haven, last Monday at 
the age of 78.There’s a report that 
an English syndicate has bought the Chi¬ 
cago Union Stockyards for $30,000,000, one- 
half of which is to be paid down in cash, 
the other half to be paid by $10,000,000 of 
bonds of the new association and $5,000,000 
of preferred stock to the new stock-holders.

Henry Clay Caldwell, of Arkansas, has 
been appointed United States Circuit Court 
Judge of the Eighth Circuit to succeed 
David J. Brewer, lately elevated to a seat 
in the United States Supreme Court. 
Judge Caldwell is 54 years old and a native 
of W. Va. During the war he was Colonel 
of the Third Iowa Cavalry and since the 
war he has been Judge of the Eastern Dis¬ 
trict of Arkansas, and his new circuit will 
embrace the seven adjoining States also.... 
The Louisiana Lottery appears to have se¬ 
cured a footing in the Choctaw Nation 
which has just passed a law establishing a 
lottery, a certain percentage of the receipts 
of which is to go into the Nation's treasury. 
The managers of the New Orleans concern 
offer to pay Louisiana’s State debt, 
amounting to $12,000,000, for a new charter. 
They are also still vigorously lobbying in 
North Dakota, and Montana.... 
Congress has decided to admit Idaho as a 
State. A clause in the constitution 
disfranchises all persons practicing or 
preaching bigamy or polygamy to exclude 
Mormons, and the United States Supreme 
Court has just decided that such provis¬ 
ions are quite constitutional.• • • •

There appears to be considerable doubt 
whether Chicago can raise money enough

Government for a dollar. It appears
