PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
It is just as we expected. W. M. Os¬ 
trander has found gentlemen with invest¬ 
ments in the Hudson Realty Company to 
fit the requirements of any man in any 
State with a farm for sale. We have be¬ 
fore us letters which he has written 
farmers in Virginia, Delaware, New Jer¬ 
sey and Connecticut. One is an exact 
copy of the other except the change of 
names, places and amounts. His investor 
in each case has more stock than the value 
of the farm, and the farmer must pay this 
difference in cash, as the investor will not 
trade unless he can dispose of his entire 
holding. In other words, he is not will¬ 
ing to take your free and clear farm un¬ 
less you put up cash to pay commissions 
and other expenses. This is one of the 
most contemptible and alluring fakes that 
has yet come to our attention. If Mr. 
Ostrander catches any farmer on the deal 
it will be because we have not been able 
to prevent it. 
Some of the farm papers which crit¬ 
icised the so-called seedless apple some 
months ago have found great merit in it 
now since the company has begun to ad¬ 
vertise it in the papers that will accept 
their money. These people had the assur¬ 
ance to send their advertising order to 
The R. N.-Y. with the rest. It was such 
a flagrant attempt to influence our posi¬ 
tion on the subject that we did not so 
much as acknowledge the order. No con¬ 
cern can hope to share an ill-gotten gain 
with this paper. They do not seem, how¬ 
ever, to have any difficulty in finding 
means of disposing of any share that they 
are willing to divide. 
Here is a note from a New England 
subscriber: 
I have a large amount of papers and read¬ 
ing, and thought that I did not need any 
more, but the longer that I have the Rubai, 
New-Yorker, the more I think that I must 
have It. It has cost me quite a sum of 
moniy by answering ads. In some other 
papers, but the ads. in the Rural New- 
Yorker have been all right. We don't feel 
just right to get cheated, do we? j. a. t. 
Massachusetts. 
No; none of us feel just right when 
we know that we have been cheated, and 
it does not matter whether the rogue who 
cheats 11 s is our neighbor or some one at 
a distance. We all have unsatisfactory 
experience at times with good houses. 
Others at times are not satisfied with us. 
We can all afford to make allowances for 
honest men, but there should be no com¬ 
promise with fakers. 
We yet have a large number of the 
“Farmer’s Garden.” One of these belongs 
to you, if you have not yet received one. 
We have them all ready to go out the day 
your renewal is received. You should 
have them this month sure, so as to have 
time to be familiar with them by planting 
time. Send your renewal now promptly 
and the book will go flying back to you 
by the very next mail. 
A SUCCESSFUL DAIRY EXCURSION. 
An event in the dairy business last week 
was the eastern visit of agents of the Em¬ 
pire cream separator. About 100 “western 
hustlers’’ came by special train and spent 
several days at the factory of the Empire 
Cream Separator Company at Bloomfield, 
N. .T. They made a careful study of the 
factory and now know just how a separator 
is made. Then they had a chance to study 
the markets, see the men who handle west¬ 
ern butter, and learn what those who eat 
their butter look for and desire. A number 
of meetings were held, at which important 
dairy questions were discussed. The trip 
was voted a great success, and will, without 
doubt have considerable influence, both in the 
sale of Empire separators and in the gen¬ 
eral dairy industry. Naturally a man who 
has watched the process of making a ma¬ 
chine will feel surer of It and feel greater 
confidence in advocating its use. The dairy 
business will be helped, because these men 
go hack to their work with greater enthusi¬ 
asm and a clearer understanding of what is 
needed. The Keynote of (he discussion was 
the fact that the great hope for separated 
cream butter lies in the production of the 
finest possible grades. The weakest point in 
the hand separator method is the handling 
of the cream—and this subject was discussed 
perhaps more than any other. These agents 
can do much to show farmers the necessity 
of handling cream in good condition. Their 
relations with farmers are such that they 
can present this form of education in a more 
practical way than anyone else. As a means 
of popularizing the excellent Empire separa¬ 
tor this trip was a great success. We also 
think that its influence for the general good 
of dairying will l>e felt for many years.
