THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
i47 
ache in every finger at that announce¬ 
ment, and they proceeded to spur up the 
men who were nearest and dearest to 
them to go forth and capture the needed 
club of subscriptions. Many of these 
women possessed fine types of musical 
natures, but they made small music be¬ 
cause they needed rollers—or musical 
instruments. Now we want to say that 
our friend, Pearson, who won that piano, 
didn’t go out like the Indian and forget 
what he went for. “ Something sweet 
and something that sticks !” That’s it. 
He went out and talked honey about 
The R. N.-Y., and he honeycombed the 
country for miles around. The mud stuck 
to his boots, or the dust stuck to his hat, 
but through it all he stuck to his task 
and brought home the glue and molasses 
that made that piano. 
Now our press has not been captured 
like that of the old Mississippi printer, 
but we are right here doing business at 
the same old stand. We have offered 
three more elegant musical instruments 
worth nearly $ 1,000 all told, and some 
three of our agents will have them on 
May 1. “Something sweet and some¬ 
thing that sticks I” Glue and molasses ! 
That’s the story. A fair statement about 
the paper and a ton of “stick to it.” 
That’s what the rollers are made of. 
Now, madame, we suggest that you urge 
upon your home brave the importance of 
marching out in his brightest war paint 
to bring home the glue and molasses 
needed to make that piano roll into your 
home. 
You will hear from us again about 
this. In the meantime—“ small favors 
are thankfully received,” and we want 
to say that we have some more of those 
books left to give as rewards for new 
subscriptions. 
By the way—here are the names of 
five Indians who have captured a dollar’s 
worth of glue and molasses this past 
week by securing the largest daily clubs: 
Feb. 17.—Ralph Evans, Erie Co., N. Y. 
18. —C. A. Hamilton, Bergen Co., N. J. 
19. —P. H. Parker, Wyoming Co., N. Y. 
20. —E. M. Wood, Jefferson Co., 1ml. 
21. —W. S. Moore, Chenango Co., N. Y. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The first Charleston asparagus has arrived, 
and sales are reported at $1.75 per bunch. 
The first Havana potatoes have appeared, and 
are of only fair quality, and are offered for $4 to 
$4.50 per barrel. 
The extreme cold waves to which we have re¬ 
cently been subjected, check shipments of fruits 
and vegetables. 
The Hebrew Purim holiday, February 28, is 
creating an extra demand for live poultry; tur¬ 
keys are somewhat scarce. 
Cabbage from North Carolina is too young and 
poor to attract attention. That from Florida is 
improving, but the price continues low. 
From reports, a large crop of watermelons in 
Florida is likely. Growers are trying to make 
up for their losses on oranges and vegetables. 
The New Jersey Game Commissioners have 
agreed to allow dealers to sell game for 25 days 
after the legal time for selling expires, in order 
to clean up their stocks, and to keep the trade in 
the State. 
So far this season, sales of strawberries from 
Florida have been extremely high, considering 
the poor quality of the fruit. It seems almost 
impossible to bring them so far in good condi¬ 
tion. Reports from the producing sections of the 
South indicate a large acreage, and an unusually 
heavy crop is expected if conditions be favor¬ 
able.
