A Good Road Cart. 
Given for 20 New Subscriptions. 
The best is 
none too good 
for our readers, 
particularly 
when we are 
able to offer the best possible 
bargain for it, too. Nothing 
in the whole history of car¬ 
riage making has f qualed the 
development of the trade in 
two - wheeled carts, and the 
riding public have reason to 
be glad that these vehicles have been brought into general 
use. The writer has used a road cart for the past two years 
and finds it just the thing for riding over rough, billy 
country roads, as it is light and comfortable. We offer 
the Groton cart, as one that is strong and easy. We know 
that those who secure this premium will be more than 
pleased. Price, $25. Given for 20 new subscriptions at 
$2 each. 
The Cutaway Harrow. 
Given for 22 New Subscriptions at $2. 
It is safe to say that the introduction of this tool has 
revolutionized the work on many farms. For spring work 
on fall plowed land 
or for tearing up 
sod or working in 
manure, it is with¬ 
out a rival. It is 
not really a harrow, 
but a digger tear¬ 
ing and spading the 
surface soil and 
leaving it in justthe 
proper condition for 
the leveler. It has also been successfully used as a culti¬ 
vator in the yo ng corn. There can be no question about 
its value in preparing soil for a grain crop; in * a< ^’ ' or 
fitting light, friable soils for oats or barley, it will do better 
work than a deep running plow. After several years’ trial 
The Rural New-Yorker is prepared to urge its readers 
to try this tool. Price, $30 Given for 22 new subscriptions 
at $2 each, or for five subscriptions at $2 each, and $20 
additional. 
The Triumph Mower. 
Given for 30 New Subcripttons at |2. 
In designing this 
mower an effort 
was made to so ar¬ 
range the parts 
that the strain 
would be fairly 
proportioned, s o 
that one part will 
not be called upon 
to do more than 
its share, and thus 
become weaktned. 
This secures durability, and, in the Triumph, the result 
has been secured without interfering with lightness of 
draft or general perfection of work. The machine is built 
of malleable iron and steel throughout, and each part is 
fitted in the most approved manner. The arrangements of 
pole, seat and whiffletrees are all with a view of lightening 
draft, while the tilting arrangement and lifting lever are 
so constructed that a boy can easily manage them. In fact, 
the Triumph mower is well named, and will be sure to 
give satisfaction to those who secure it. Price, $50. Given 
tor 30 new subscriptions at $2 ; or 15 names and $25 addi¬ 
tional. 
The Triumph Harrow. 
Given for 16 New Subscriptions. 
This is a modification of the disk harrow. In place of 
the sharp, saw like teeth of the disk, the Triumph uses 
a set of long, curved steel fingers, which dig and scratch 
into the soil, throwing it up loosely and evenly. Its special 
u,e is for work in orchards among fruit trees. It digs 
deeply among and does not cut the roots. This is a 
new tool, but it has been thoroughly tested by leading 
orchardists. In the light soils of California and Florida it 
has proved exceedingly valuable. For some years past there 
has been an increasing demand for a suitable tool for cul¬ 
tivating orchards. The R. N -Y. feels confident that the 
Triumph Harrow 7 will meet this demand fully. Price, $**>• 
Given for 16 new subscriptions. 
Syracuse Chilled Plow. 
Given for Eight New Subscriptions. 
This plow has a steel jointer and wheel standards, chilled 
wearing parts, and adjustable beams and handles. It is in 
use on The R. 
N.-Y.’s farm, 
where we have 
found it effi 
cient for work 
in sod or stub¬ 
ble. This year 
we have had 
occasion to 
use it on some 
hard and quite stony ground, and have found it excellent 
in all respects. Ou farms where there is a diversity of soils 
this “general-purpose” plow will be found invaluable. 
The No. S, for two or three horses; plowing a five to seven 
inch furrow, 12 to 15 inches wide, weight 130 pounds ; price 
$12. Given for eight new subscriptions at $2. (For wheel

A Waterproof Coat. 
Given for Two New Subscriptions anil Two Trials. 
All sensible people “know enough 
to go into the house when it rains;” 
but someof us areunfortuuateeuough 
to be unable to do so. When duty calls 
us out into the rain there is uothing to 
do but to go. But there is no sense in 
getting wet. For the benefit of those 
who must face the raiu we offer an 
article that will keep them dry and 
good-natured and suitable for any 
work. We have selected the famous 
fish brand or “Slicker” goods, be¬

or do any wet weather work in these 
coats Price of the Slicker, $3 (black

plow. It is really a comfortable seat fitted on two wheels,

time. A boy strong enough to drive UnnlLLO 
a team can operate it successfully. It 
has a foot lever that will instantly 
raise the point of the plow when de¬ 
sired. Tne farmers who desire to use 
two or more kinds of plows for differ¬ 
ent work will find this sulky very 
useful and more satisfactory than a 
fixed sulky plow. Ride whenever you can. Price, $oo.

Given for Two New Subscriptions. 
This is the handiest plane we nave ever seen. It is made 
of the best material and is of convenient size and shape, 
guaranteed to do as good work as any. Its self-adjusting 
principle is a remark¬ 
ably good feature. One 
does not have to serve a 
year’s apprenticeship in 
order to learn how to set 
it. By simply turning 
two screws the plane is 
set and fast ened securely. 
Those who have lost 
time and temper in try¬ 
ing to set the old fash¬ 
ioned planes will appreciate this simple hut valuable con¬ 
trivance. We have used it and know. Price, $3. Given

The Perfection Meat Cutter. 
Given for One New Subscription. 
This is a new meat-cutter. It does not mash or grind 
the meat, leaving it fall of strings and gristle, but it cuts 
very much as the ensilage 
cutters operate on corn 
stalks for the silo. It is 
easily operated, simple in 
construction, and, what is 
best of all, self sharpening. 
It will work equally well 
with raw or cooked meats, 
and can aHo be used to pre¬ 
pare almonds or cocoanuts 
for cake, for pulverizing 
stale bread or crackers or 
for chopping vegetables for 
soups. Have no more to do

knife and tray. List price, i

useful as the hay 
mow,and the ensilage 
cutter ranks with the 
mowing machine as a 
useful implement.

The R. N.-Y. has 
made arrangements 
to offer the celebrated 
“ Smalley ” cutter as 
a premium. This ma¬ 
chine has all the latest 
improvements. Its

do. We offer either No. 1

hangers will run on any ordinary iron track, but if desired, 
a patent steel track can be supplied. Price $1.25 and $1.50

cers, farrier’s knife, 18-inch tongs, two cold chisels and a

The Kemp Manure Spreader. 
Given for 75 New Subscriptions at $2. 
Mr. Francisco, whose 
farm business is described 
elsewhere in this issue, 
believes in this tool and 
uses it. He cannot afford 
to hire men to spread 
manure by baud. Did 
you ever know a man who 
likes to spread manure ? 
Di<l you ever know a man to do good work at a job he 
does not like ? Every man likes to work with horse-power, 
because he feels he is accomplishing something. That is 
all; the Kemp Manure Spreader will save two handlings, 
and do more and better work, than six men with manure 
forks. You can also arrange it so as to apply lime, ferti¬ 
lizer or fine composts. You need one and need it at once

* United States Cook Stove Drier. 
Given for Four New Subscriptions. 
The fruit crop is a 
failure ! There will be 
no apples or peaches in 
many orchards that in 
former years provided 
hundreds of barrels for 
sale. Dried and evap¬ 
orated fruits are going 
up in price. They will 
soon be worth their 
weight in silver,nearly. 
The fruit that in or¬ 
dinary years you throw 
away or feed to the 
pigs or make into cider 
should be dried this 
year. The drier we 
offer is the handiest one 
on the market. It will 
fit on your cooking 
stove and enable you to make a double economy, in fuel 
and fruit. Weight 25 pounds. Price, $7. Given for four
