PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
Last week we told you about all there 
is to be said about the new grape, 
“Brown’s Seedling.” We are going to re¬ 
peat a little here now. We simply believe 
that for an early grape there is no grape 
now grown that compares with it for 
either home or market purposes. In three 
years we expect at least 80,000 of these 
BROWN’S SEEDLING GRAPE. 
vines will be bearing fruit in all parts of 
this country, and this fruit, we believe, 
will be worth more in dollars and cents 
each year to the person who plants the 
vine than the annual cost of the paper for 
the lifetime of the planter. 
The plant that wc will send you will be 
a year-old hardy plant, and it will be sent 
you free and postpaid. Wc are not going 
to ask you to bear any 'of this expense, 
but we are going to ask you to interest 
yourself in telling your neighbors about it. 
Show them the circulars, or this an¬ 
nouncement, and send their order and 
-their remittance, if you can, whether it be 
a dollar for a year or 10 cents for 10 
weeks. In any event, send the three 10- 
weqk subscriptions as suggested in the 
expiration notice for December. 
By actual count we have received just 
15 inquiries about investments in doubtful 
and worthless enterprises during the past 
week. Several of these have been for 
mining stocks. No one is able to tell 
definitely whether these stocks have any 
value or not, but experienced investors in¬ 
variably leave them alone. Some of them 
promise big dividends, but it is all specu¬ 
lation, and the experience of the past is 
that the people who put their money into 
them lose it. The city papers last week 
gave the account of a man who had been 
saving a little money on his salary of $25 
a week as bookkeeper. A friend induced 
him to invest his savings in a mining 
stock. It went up to double the value in 
a week, and paid a dividend besides. He 
bought more, then took his employer’s 
money to buy still more under the assur¬ 
ance that he was acting on an inside tip, 
and expected to make good when he could 
sell at a profit. The stock continued to 
go up, and he continued to take money 
and buy stock, believing he had made a 
fortune. But when the suckers had all 
chipped in all they seemed inclined to do, 
down went the stock below the original 
price. It was practically worthless. All 
was lost, and the bookkeper went to jail. 
Our standing advice is not to buy stock 
in companies that you know nothing 
about. The promises and guarantees of 
promoters are usually as worthless as the 
paper they sell you. 
It is due to W. Raymond Selleck, Hunt¬ 
ington, L. I., N. Y., to say that lie has 
now made good the protested check re¬ 
ferred to soiyc time ago. We have al¬ 
ready reported that he also sent | registry 
papers for the pigs bought by a Delaware 
State farmer last Spring, to which we 
also referred. We are always glad to ac¬ 
knowledge corrections of these kinds, but 
we remind the parties interested that it is 
pleasanter to have our letters in reference 
to such complaints answered before it be¬ 
comes necessary to refer to them in a 
public way. 
W. M. Ostrander, of Philadelphia, is 
out with a new proposition. It will be re¬ 
membered that he organized himself some 
time ago into a stock company for $2,000,- 
000. His new circular offers to sell this 
slock at par, if you buy it before Decem¬ 
ber 15. .This will be too late for you now 
unless you telegraph, but judging by the 
past you will have another opportunity 
later. You consider this stock a bargain, 
don’t you? Sure, he gives no statement 
of assets. But how are you going to esti¬ 
mate the value of a man? New Jersey 
courts are too conservative, and besides 
they figure on a man only after lie is 
maimed or dead. Mr. Ostrander ought to 
be worth two million of dollars to anyone 
who sets a high value on gall. Besides 
now you have the option of trading the 
stock any time for the New York City 
property lie has for sale. The city prop¬ 
erty will probably always be estimated for 
more than your stock, and you will,simply 
have to pay the balance in cash—just a lit¬ 
tle more money going toward Philadel¬ 
phia. That’s all. Another saving will be 
that you will not need to employ an ex¬ 
pert appraiser for the city property. Mr. 
Ostrander will fix the price and value for 
you. 
Here is an extract from a letter just re¬ 
ceived from a prominent dairyman of 
large business experience: 
Your paper has no superior in my judge¬ 
ment for a practical farmer. There were two 
articles in the last number of The Ruuai, 
New Yoiikeb that were worth more to me 
than five years’ subscriptions. k. p. t. 
Maryland. 
We like to have this indorsement of 
our efforts to be of real service to readers. 
I here is a degree of satisfaction in being 
told that a single issue contains five dol¬ 
lars’ worth of practical information to an 
active business farmer. 
A woman of mature years recently told 
us that her father, no longer living, had 
been a subscriber to The R. N.-Y. for 35 
years. When she was seven years old he 
got up a club of subscriptions, and as a 
reward received a clock which is yet keep¬ 
ing good time. That is the kind of re¬ 
wards we send for clubs—the best goods 
we can find. We are now sending valua¬ 
ble rewards every day. Don’t you want 
some of them? We will send you a list 
of the rewards if you ask for them. It 
will take only a little time now to earn 
one. We also make you a cash allowance 
if you prefer it. But if you do not try 
for a club, do not -fgrget your quota of 
10 weeks subscriptions anyway. Read care¬ 
fully the suggestion for three of these in 
the expiration notice this month and send 
them. j. j. p.

You Get More Eggs 
and Save Feed Bills! 
LIENS can't lay. unless they have egg-making 
± materials in their food. 
Green bone fed raw, has more than four 
times the egg-making value of grain, because it 
is rich in “protein,” lime and all elements that 
go to make eggs, bone, muscle and feathers. 
That’s why it doubles the egg yield—makes 
more fertile eggs—bigger hatches—stronger 
chicks—earlier broilers—larger market fowls. 
Latest Model 
Bone Gutter 
Cuts all green bone, with all adhering meat and 
gristle, easily and rapidly. 
Any one can use it. because it automatically 
adjusts the cutting to the operator’s strength.
