PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
From a source that has always been 
found reliable we get report on Chas. W. 
Barrick, New Martinsville, W. Va., who 
sometimes advertises in country papers. 
We take this extract from the report of 
him: 
lie has not a cent of property ; he incurs 
debts intending not lo pay; lie is smart; un¬ 
principled ; and when he makes a debt pre¬ 
pares the circumstances so that it cannot be 
collected. 
A similar report on Isaac Tillinghast, 
formerly of La Plume, Pa., now advertis¬ 
ing in farm papers as Tillinghast Co., 
Scranton, Pa., says: ‘‘Ibis man Isaac 
Tillinghast has been a notorious beat for 
years. We cannot learn that there is 
anyone else besides himself interested in 
the Tillinghast Co.” It is, of course, al¬ 
ways safest to make remittances for goods 
to firms who have a reputation for hon¬ 
esty at home. 
An advertiser who was reported in these 
columns some time ago as unworthy of 
credit writes us complaining this week, 
and says, among other things, that our re¬ 
port on him has done us no good among 
his friends. We did not expect that it would. 
He also claims that he was sick and un¬ 
fortunate, and thinks he ought to get a 
chance to recover his losses. We have 
no faidt to find with any man who makes 
an honest failure. Such men, if their 
records be clean, will always have our 
sympathy, and our assistance in every 
way possible. If any man or firm who has 
ever been criticised by The R. N.-Y. will 
show us a clean record, we will gladly 
rectify any statement that has not been 
warranted, and put him on the way to suc¬ 
cess. But people who contract debts with 
a deliberate intent not to pay them, or 
who receive remittances for orders which 
they cannot or do not fill, and use the 
money for their own purposes, returning 
nothing to the farmer—not even an an¬ 
swer to his letters—do not come under 
this exemption. We do not consider the 
persons in these matters one way or the 
other. Our only object is to discourage 
dishonesty in advertisers, to encourage 
trade with the houses who give a square 
deal, and to protect subscribers from de¬ 
ception, fakers and rogues. 
The following letter is one of the many 
re eived every day. We give space to it 
this week, because Mr. Gerrish is a suc¬ 
cessful poultry man, and his experience 
gives weight to what he says on poidtry 
subjects: 
As regards The Business Hen book, I want 
to say that I consider it the best poultry 
hook that I ever saw, regardless of size or 
cost, and I certainly would not part with 
it for any price if I could not get an¬ 
other. X. L. GERRISH. 
New Hampshire. 
If the book has so much value for a 
man of his experience and success with 
the hen, don’t you think it ought to be a 
help to those who have had less experi¬ 
ence. It has been made simple and plain 
for the benefit of the inexperienced. We 
send you the book free and postpaid the 
day we receive your renewal for this 
year.

Cax a Sow Kill a Sheep/— The Mark Lane 
Express says that a somewhat curious case 
was recently tried in a court in the South of 
England, in which one farmer sued another 
for the value of a sheep that the plaintiff 
alleged had been killed by one of the defend¬ 
ant’s sows. The evidence of the plaintiff was 
that the sheep was found dead with marks 
of the pig's feet on the body, and there were 
also signs of a struggle having taken place. 
The defendant, on the other hand, contended 
that the pig had been attracted to the plain¬ 
tiff's orchard by the smell of the dead sheep, 
and tlie fence being broken down, the animal 
went in and made a meal of the carcass. A 
farmer of some 30 years' experience gave it 
as his opinion that it was impossible for a 
sow to kill a healthy sheep, as the pig’s 
lower jaw was by two inches the shorter. 
Evidently the judge took this view, because 
he observed that the evidence was not suffi¬ 
cient to show that pig killed the sheep, but 
he allowed the sum of six shillings for the 
carcass. We do not remember having heard 
of a similar case to this, and it would be in¬ 
teresting to know whether any of our readers 
have ever had reason to suspect a pig of 
killing a sheep. 
A mother’s love starts a man or woman 
on the right path. The right remedy at 
the right time fits a mother for the ordeal. 
Motherhood is often looked forward to 
with feelings of great dread by most wom¬ 
en. At such a time when she is nervous, 
dyspeptic, irritable and in need of a uterine 
tonic—something which will calm the nerv¬ 
ous system through the special organs, and 
a strength builder, she will find Dr. Pierce’s 
Favorite Prescription just what is needed. 
Here is a medicine that has stood the test 
of a third of a century with approval, in 
that time it has sold more largely than any 
other remedy put up specially for woman’s 
weaknesses. It is guaranteed by the pro¬ 
prietors not to contain a particle of alcohol 
—which could only do harm to a sensitive 
system. 
The World’s Dispensary Medical Associa¬ 
tion, of Buffalo, N. Y., proprietors of Dr. 
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, offer a $500 
reward for women who cannot be cured of
