THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
A Famous Jersey, to be 
Given for 103 New Subscriptions. 
The “little Jersey” has become great in performance 
and for many years has enjoyed the reputation of being at 
the head of butter breeds. 
We have contracted with 
Miller & Sibley, of Frank¬ 
lin, Pa., for a selection of 
young animals sired by 
either Stoke Pogis 5987 or 
Ida’s Rioter of St. Lambert 
13656. If there are Jersey 
bulls in the country show¬ 
ing more butter in their 
pedigrees and progeny The 
R. N.-Y. would like to hear 
of them. Those who are in- 
,, , , terested in such matters can 
easily consult the records of the A. J. C. C Messrs 
Miller & Sibley are well known. They breed nothing but 
the best. This is what they say in a recent letter: “Our 
prices are high because we breed only the best. Inferior 
bulls we knock in the head and bury.” As to the practical 
value of good Jersey bulls, we refer the reader to the 
account of Mr. Francisco’s bottled milk dairy described on 
pagt 3 562 The bull selected as No. 1 on our list has been 
named "Rural New-Yorker ” and we doubt not that he will 
carry the name with honor. Price 8200. Given for 100 new 
subscriptions at $2. If there is more than one applicant, 
all after the first will be given their choice of several 
similar or equally good animals. 
An Aberdeen-Angus Bull. 
Given for 150 New Subscriptions at $2. 
This type is the breed that “ beats the record” for beet 
qualities. They are very popular in beef-making districts 
and the purebred animals have ^ 
held their price better than those 
of any other breed. There are not 
many first-class Aberdeen Angus 
herds in this country, and this very 
fact makes an investment in ani- 
malsof this breed safe, because the 
demand for good stock is greater ya Sr 
than the supply, and will continue 
to be for some time. The bull we 
offer is from one of the best herds In the country and will 
be fully warranted. Price $200. Given for 150 new subscrip¬ 
tions at $2. 
A Fine Holstein Bull. 
Given for 40 or more New Subscriptions. 
Holstein cattle are just now having a “ boom,” and very 
justly so, as they come nearer to filling the requirements 
of the “general-purpose cow” than any otuer breed. 
Within the past 10 years great atten¬ 
tion has been paid to the breeding of 
Holsteins, and as a result we have 
several well-defined “strains” or 
families noted for milk, for batter, 
for beef, or for a combination of two 
of these qualities. The farmer or 
dairyman may therefore breed with a 
great degree of certainty because t he 
Holsteins as a breed are exceedingly 
prepotent and may be nlied upon lo 
stamp their individuality upon their calves. We are able 
to offer bulls from the finest herds in the country, guaran 
teeing pedigree and individual excellence in every instance. 
We cannot afford to send out inferior animals. The best 
or none at all. These bulls trace back to such animals as 
Clothilde, Netherland Prince, Aagie, Mercedes, Nether- 
land Conqueror and Shadeland Consul. We may safely 
say that we can give our agents better bargains in Holstein 
cattle than they can possibly obtain elsewhere. Prices 
from $50 upwards. Given for clubs of new subscriptions ; 
number according to animals selected. 
Frank Wilson Bone Mill. 
Given for Six New Subscriptions at $2. 
We never heard of one of 
these mills that did not prove 
very satisfactory. We never 
heard of a pouliryman who 
once began to grind bones 
and shells who ever gave up 
the practice. Have you a 
mill ? You ought to have 
one. Price, $6. Given for six 
new subscriptions. 
Farmers’ Friend Alarm Clock. 
Given for One New Subscription.

* Teach Yourself Penmanship. * 
Gaskell’s Compendium for Five Trials or One New Subscription. 
We have no desire to criticise your writing beyond the 
gentle remark that it "might be better.” It is a 
great thing to write well. We feel adeep pity for the stam¬ 
who can’t ) 
possibly get S S * 
his thoughts // 
out of his 
mouth, but / • * Y j* V AA/£/(/Z-<uA \ 
a good many l J ( I J 
of us fail to \ y V \/ .X 
realize that ^- 
bad penmanship sufles more good ideas and causes more 
mistakes than bad tongues ever did. Learn to write 
leach yourself. How ? Why, by studying this little book 
which we are. prepared to send for ouly one new sub¬ 
scription ; or five trials at 25 cents each. This is cheauer 
than buying a type writer. Price, 81 post-paid. 
This machine makes exactly the same stich or loop that 
is made by the old fashioned rug “hook” so pleasantly 
remembered by all New England people. The “ machine ” 
enables one to work faster and make a more beautiful 
design. In fact, this is the best rug machine made, and 
hundreds of our lady readers will thank us for calling 
their attention to it. Don’t bend over a frame aud prick 
your fingers with a “hook” when you can sit iu a com¬ 
fortable chair and work this machine. Price, $1. Given 
for one new subscription. 
Hill’s Steamless and Odorless Cooker. 
Given for Two New Subscription?. 
We have given this a 
thorough test, and find 
that It keeps the steam 
and odor from the house, 
saves fuel, saves labor, 
saves the nutritious ele¬ 
ments of the food, fits 
any stove, and costs only 
about one-half the price 
of tin cookers, and we 
believe it will last a life¬ 
time. The juices of 
meats are retained, po¬ 
tatoes are left mealy, 
and all vegetables are 
much improved, because 
thoroughly steam- 
cooked. It does the 
work of two or three 
common iron kettles, 
and better. Mrs. Henry 
Ward Beecher says: “I 
have had the Steamless 
and Odorless Cooker in 
use several weeks. It is 
destined to make home 
duties, especially belong- 
kitchen, much less oppressive, besides giving fa¬ 
cilities for preparing food much more properly than any 
other contrivance I have yet seen.” Price, 10-quart size, 
8^.7o. Given for two new subscriptions.

any broom. Several recent improvements are included in
