PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
We all like a new suit of clothes now 
and then. The R. N.-Y. had its new 
dress last week. It was the most expen¬ 
sive suit it ever had, but it had a more 
worthy object than the mere satisfaction 
of looking pretty. The various indus¬ 
tries of the country are represented by 
publications devoted to their welfare. The 
character of these publications usually 
bespeaks the importance of the industries 
that they represent. A cheap-looking pa¬ 
per with uncertain editorial influence be¬ 
speaks a weak industry. A strong, power¬ 
ful paper is indicative of the support of a 
progressive and prosperous industry. 
Agriculture as an industry merits repre¬ 
sentation by a strong, clean paper. Hor¬ 
ticulture as a prominent branch of farm 
work is worthy of the distinction of a 
new dress now and then. 
The R. N.-Y. is the recognized leading 
exponent of these industries. Prominent 
men in other lines get their ideas of the 
farm home in a large measure from the 
impressions conveyed to them by this 
paper. It is for this reason that we think 
it worth while to spend so much labor 
and money not only in the quality of in¬ 
formation printed, but also in the general 
appearance and make-up of the paper. 
The industry has responded liberally to 
our efforts. The line of advertising is 
the largest and cleanest that has ever ap¬ 
peared in a single issue of a distinctively 
farm paper. The volume of advertising 
might have been very much increased, if 
we had not refused to accept business 
from many houses which find easy access 
to the columns of many of the other farm 
papers. But it is not our object to make 
these special issues a large financial suc¬ 
cess. Our ambition is rather to strengthen 
them and improve them in quality and 
appearance until they become a pleasure 
and a pride to every one interested in the 
farm and its products. We have no doubt 
that the cheap attempts to imitate these 
issues have been more financially pros¬ 
perous to their publishers. It is only nat¬ 
ural that they should be. That is what 
they are for and it is right enough that 
they be rewarded for the object for which 
they labor. The R. N.-Y. stands for the 
progress and character of the farm home 
and farm life. To represent this indus¬ 
try worthily requires clean clothes all the 
time, and a fancy dress on state occasions 
at least. This takes work, and costs 
money. But there is a satisfaction and a 
pride in doing it so as to merit the ap¬ 
proval of those interested. We prize the 
approval more than the cost. 
Good Common Sense. — When I read 
articles in which some reader wishes informa¬ 
tion I often feel like taking my pen to write 
what I have experienced hut there is just 
where I stop, and I believe that this is the 
case with many of our best and experienced 
farmers. When they read what our scientific 
friends have to say, they would like to tell 
them otherwise as to their experience; but 
there is where they stop too, because most 
of us farmers have only a common school 
education, and as I am one of them, born 
from Pennsylvania German people, raised in 
a neighborhood where not much English is 
spoken, we often feel like one of New Jersey’s 
best men, who was here last Summer, I took 
him around to some of my friends; we some¬ 
times chatted in Pennsylvania Dutch in 
his presence. He of course could not under¬ 
stand it. On his way home he said several 
times to my son, who was with him, that he 
never felt so dumb as he did while in our 
presence. So with us; in our own language 
we would often say something if we could 
express ourselves as our scientific men can. 
They have done and are doing now many 
things for us farmers; surely the farmer of 
the present day who thinks he knows enough, 
and that he has no need to learn what our 
scientific men have to say, lives practically 
in darkness. He will pay dearly sometimes 
for his ignorance. c. l. 
Pennsylvania. 
R. N.-Y.—That is a plain statement of 
fact The most valuable matter we get comes 
from just such men—who have reasoned out 
the right of farm practice in their own way. 
We all of us at times regret our inability 
to express ourselves as we would like to do. 
As a rule, the practical farmer who writes 
slowly and does not always feel sure of his 
words will give the clearest statement of 
what he desires to say. We welcome such 
contributors, and wish there were more of 
them.

A Perfect Poultry House 
StetKo? 
means bigger and healthier 
birds and increased egg pro¬ 
duction. The best is none too 
good, especially since the best can be 
had with the least possible trouble. For 
instance, pictured above is a poultry house 
• covered (roof and sides) with Rex Flintkote Roofing. Besides 
the few rolls it took to cover the buildings, it required merely a 
hammer and as much of an ordinary farmhand’s time as would 
have been required to lay so much carpet. 
It produced a poultry refuge, cool in summer, warm in winter; 
proof against rain, wind, snow, and danger from falling sparks. 
Rex Flintkote Roofing 
is made of chemically treated long-fibre wool, both sides covered 
with fire-proof compound and protected by a covering of flint, 
making the only conceded absolute resister of water, temperature, 
acid, alkali, rot and fire.

Make your own tests. We send also our book which shows other build¬ 
ings of all kinds subjected to all kinds of climatic conditions, which 
are to-day proving the superiority of Rex Flintkote for all roofing 
purposes. Contains valuable information about roofing that 
every house builder and owner should know. The best 
dealers sell Rex Flintkote—always bears above trade 
mark. * * Look for the Boy’ ’—take no substitutes.
