PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
A subscriber in one of the Southern 
States sends us his experience with'W. M. 
Ostrander, the Philadelphia real estate 
agent. This subscriber wrote Mr. Ostran¬ 
der, giving him a street number and fic¬ 
titious description of property that in real¬ 
ity did not exist at all. Mr. Ostrander 
answered promptly that he could sell the 
property. Getting no response, he con¬ 
tinued to write, and in later letters said 
he had looked the property up, and knew 
that he could sell it. Of course, he want¬ 
ed the cash fee in advance. The fact that 
there was no such property in existence 
did not seem to be consistent with Mr. 
Ostrander’s assertions that he had exam¬ 
ined it and found it all right. 
At this time we wish to remind our old 
readers of the privilege of sending new 
trial subscriptions for neighbors and 
friends for 10 weeks for 10 cents. You 
probably have had one or more farmers in 
mind to whom you have intended to speak 
of this matter, but have neglected it. The 
season is getting well on now, and the 
paper will be valuable to them before the 
active Spring work begins. Make an ef¬ 
fort to send those names now this month. 
We also want again to remind those 
who have not yet received the new garden 
book, that it is here all ready to go out the 
day your renewal is received. You cer¬ 
tainly ought to have the book this month. 
It will be worth money to you in directions 
for garden work. 
The following notice is clipped from a 
western paper: 
On February 26th Judge Bethea of the 
United States Supreme Court, appointed Ed¬ 
win C. Day receiver for Cash Buyers’ Union 
First National Co-operative Society, Chicago, 
on the charge that $1,000,000 in stock has 
been sold to farmers throughout the country, 
and that there is a cash balance of only 
$100 on hand. Postoffiee inspectors state 
that the company owes $250,000 on merchan¬ 
dise accounts, and that there was no credit 
on hand, and nothing coming in. 
The farm papers which helped this con¬ 
cern sell $1,000,000 of its stocks to then- 
readers by carrying its advertisements will 
not be likely to publish notice of the fail¬ 
ure, The R. N.-Y. has prcsistently re¬ 
fused the advertising, and, while we could 
not get definite information about them 
to justify us in publishing them as frauds, 
the schemes were such that no one famil¬ 
iar with them could be In doubt of the 
ultimate result. We had several private 
inquiries about the concern during the 
past year from farmers who believe in 
looking into things before parting with 
their money, and in all such cases, we ad¬ 
vised leaving them alone. 
EXPERIENCE WITH WATER GLASS 
EGGS . 
J. B., Rochester , N. Y .—Will some of your 
readers give their experience with the water 
glass mixture? Is it a failure or a success? 
If not, how long will the eggs keep? How 
are they put In the mixture? Does it make 
any difference to the temperature? How 
many eggs would he advisable to put in one 
mixture at once? Where can the mixture 
be purchased? 
R. N.-Y.—We have often told how to 
put the eggs in water glass. Now let 
those who have tried it tell how the eggs 
came out!

Permanent Pastures. —The common 
method here is to seed the same as you would 
for a meadow, unless perhaps using more 
clover seed; mow it for a year or two and 
then turning ft into pasture. White clover 
makes an excellent pasture, and perhaps Blue 
grass would, hut I never knew of any being 
sown in this locality. e. a. l.

A New Standard 
of roofing excellence has been 
established by Rex Flintkote. Our 
fathers swore by shingles. But shingles 
were hard to lay and failed to hold their own— 
they dried, cracked, warped, blew away, and 
burned at the touch of a spark. Then came tin—harder 
than shingles to lay, yet it led in roofing popularity until it 
proved that in spite of paints it would rust and become leaky. 
Its ease of laying alone makes 
Rex Flintkote Roofing 
perfect for farm buildings. An ordinary farm-hand can lay it per¬ 
fectly. It weighs so little as to be no strain even upon lightly con¬ 
structed support. It is unaffected heat or cold, proof against fire 
from falling sparks, leak proof in rain or snow, and is the only 
roofing that effectually resists all kinds of chemical action—acid, 
alkali or rot. 
WE SEND SAMPLES FREE 
and also a book showing all kinds of buildings which, under all kinds of weather 
Conditions, are proving the superiority of Rex Flintkote. Under no circum- 
* stances accept substitutes, mixtures containing tar and paper that cost 
about half as much to make, yet sell almost at the Rex Flintkote price. 
Ihe dealer who is looking to your advantage, if he cherishes your 
friendship and trade in the future, will prefer to sell you the 
genuine even though his profits are less and it costs you 
just a wee trifle more per square foot.
