1907. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.

PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
Hudson, O., Jan. 12, 1907. 
Gentlemen : “Stick to your job and finish 
it." from R. N.-Y. to-day. and here is $1 
for renewal. I like to stand by such men. 
Cordially, t. b. thru*. 
Of course that quotation is from an edi¬ 
torial on the now famous' A. J. C. C. case. 
Mr. Terry is known to farm paper read¬ 
ers and farm institute patrons all over the 
country. We confess to a degree of pride 
in his emphatic and cordial endorsement 
on this subject. 
Here are a few more remarks on the 
same subject: 
The cows you work for Jump high. Por¬ 
ter's cow was not registered but she won like 
a pureblood. and that. Jersey cow looks to me 
about the same position relatively when Tub 
R. N.-Y. began to play the fiddle. c. a. 
New York. 
AM honor to you in the Jersey cow fight; 
and shame on the Albany Country Gentleman. 
New York. a. j. p. 
You are eternally right in the A. J. C. C. 
controversy, as you were in the Wadsworth 
and the Dryden matters. Keep right after 
them. B. B. K. 
Massachusetts. 
Keep on at the A. J. C. C.: you are in the 
right. Instead of refusing an investigation, 
one would think thev would much rather sift 
the case in dispute, and thus right the wrong 
if there Is any. J. B. 
New York. 
It srems to me. by what I’ve read of the 
A. J. C. C. matter, that some of the mem¬ 
bers of that Club must think that the way 
that purchaser should do was to get the 
better of the other fellow, or that two wrongs 
make a right. Yours for justice, j. a. c. 
Wisconsin. 
We have enough of these to make tv 
book, but this is enough to show that 
The R. N.-Y. is not going to stand alone 
on the track when that train of cars comes 
along to do tilings to us. 
Are (lie Jackson County Nurseries, Bosky 
Dell. III., reliable and trustworthy? a. p. f. 
Nebraska. 
Subscribers have reported that dealings 
with this concern were most unsatisfac¬ 
tory, and they could get no satisfaction 
whatever. Letters of complaint arc ig¬ 
nored. We would not accept their ad¬ 
vertising, and would suggest placing or¬ 
ders with houses of unquestioned business 
probity. 
I cannot see where the Massachusetts 
farmer has a kick of any kind coming, lie 
did not put out any money and therefore 
lost nothing. If he did 1 am sure The It. 
N.-Y. would make good. If ho does not take 
a paper until he finds one that looks after 
Ihe interests of its subscribers better than 
The It. N.-Y. I feel sorry for him. j. e. it. 
Connecticut. 
I read your “Desk" with great interest and 
between the lines as well. I really cannot 
understand bow there can he any part of 
the “square deal" for you to compel any 
firm to give credit. Auv such apparent offer 
In print to give credit to everybody has a 
string to it for those not acceptable. 
New York. J. Y. P. 
The above two letters refer to the case 
of a subscriber recently reported who dis¬ 
continued his subscription because we 
could not insist that an advertiser give 
him credit for an implement because he 
advertised to ship on credit. We refer to 
it again only to show by the numerous 
references made to the case that R. N.-Y. 
readers generally take reasonable views 
of every situation, and can always be 
trusted to see and support the side of jus¬ 
tice, either for or against one of their own 
members. 
Will you please let me know what you 
think of this advertisement of Sca-Kil? Is 
it any good? Have you beard of it before? 
1 got it out of a fruit paper. c. C. G. 
Massachusetts. 
This is an advertisement of a concern 
at Waynesboro, Pa. For $1 they will 
send you a box of something that you put 
into a hole in the tree, and the tree will 
then be proof against scale for two to five 
years. Similar fakes have been exposed 
time and again for the last 20 years. It 
is a humbug and a fraud. A fruit paper 
that would insert such an advertisement is 
not fit to use for kindling a fire in a 
farmer’s kitchen stove. 
I recently received circulars from stock 
vendors of the "Chicago-New York Air Line 
Electric Railway.” offering stock at 30 cents 
on the dollar, redeemable In transportation, 
and stating that the first 500 miles out of 
Chicago was constructed. Now It happens that 
1 am on the “Air Line" and about 500 miles 
from Chicago, and we have no knowledge of 
even a survey for such a road; it’s all “in 
the air" s'o far as we can see. Inform the 
farmers that It is an old game to get them 
to furnish the money to organize and con¬ 
struct. then let the company be involved, go 
Into bankruptcy and the promoters will bid 
It in, and the farmer only has the knowledge 
that he helped It along and a nice stock 
certificate. o. o. w. 
Pennsylvania. 
d his correspondent understands the 
game all right. The men who are behind 
this project have little or no railroad ex¬ 
perience, and little financial standing. Of 
course they do not need much money 
themselves if farmers can be depended to 
furnish it. The stock may as well be sold 
for 30 cents as for 100 cents# It does not 
cost much to print the certificates, but it 
would be interesting to know how much 
of the 30 cents is left for road building 
after the brokerage and other expenses 
of selling it arc paid. Buying such stocks 
is not making an investment. It is not 
even an attractive gamble. • 
I bought the “Minute Churn.” It does the 
work quick, but it is harder work than the 
old flash churn, and it is so poorly made It 
broke the handle on first trial. 1 don’t find 
the hall bearing. I wrote the firm who sold 
It, bul 1 can get no satisfaction. The dasher 
is made of a kind of wood that crumbles off 
in the cream and leaves particles in the 
butt er. o. d.- o. 
New York. 
This is another of the humbugs that 
have been frequently shown up. We 
are afraid this man will get no redress. 
We would not waste a postage stamp to 
write the fakers who sell it. 
Can you tell me if the Glove Association, 
of Chicago, are reliable? I can get no answer 
to letters to the writers of their testimonials. 
New York. o. d. o. 
Certainly not. The testimonials are no 
doubt pure fiction. If you did get an 
answer from the references of snide con¬ 
cerns they would of course be bogus, and 
you would be no better off than before. 
Pennsylvania farmers are receiving cir¬ 
culars and letters soliciting investments in 
the stock of a “Telegraphone.” Wonder¬ 
ful profits are promised on shares at $10 
each. 'I bis should be classed with all the 
other stock allurements that you know 
nothing about. Burn the circulars, and 
forget about them. 
Keep up your good work of exposing all 
forms of crooked dealing. You are winning 
laurels all tin' lime, i consider Tub It. N.-Y.. 
without any exception, the best farm paper 
I have ever seen. j. s. 
Michigan. 
The above is a pleasant note which ac¬ 
companied a recent renewal. Do you in¬ 
dorse the sentiment or even part of it? 
Have you sent in your renewal? You 
can get some papers cheaper—some for 
nothing; but they will stand for the peo¬ 
ple who support them and not for you. 
If von like the kind of work The R. 
N.-Y. is doing, help by prompt renewals 
and a new name when you can. j. j. d.

WHO IS RIGHT 
ABOUT THE BEST 
CREAM SEPARATOR? 
Every cream separator manufacturer, old and new alike 
claims that his separator is oetter than any other. YVHO 18 
RIGHT ? Who can honestly make such a claim ? We will leave 
the answer to you but wish to submit a few facts for your con¬ 
sideration. The DE LAVAL machine was the original separator 
and it has been manufactured for twenty-eight years, twice as 
long as any other machine. The world’s best inventors and 
mechanics have been constantly working and trying to better 
it and thousands of dollars have been spent annually in this 
effort. The DE LAVAL has for many years been thoroughly 
tested, tried and used in every civilized country in the world 
and under every conceivable condition. Over 800,000 have been 
sold to date, several times all other makes combined. From 
these tests and experiences the DE LAVAL experts have 
learned what a cream separator must be to be called BEST. 
The DE LAVAL machine of to-day represents this knowledge. 
Every feature of its construction is the result of years of study 
and practical experience and the expenditure of vast sums of 
money. Nothing has been left undone that would help to make 
and keep the DE LAVAL the BEST of all separators. No 
separator built to-day contains any feature whatever, not used 
in the DE LAVAL, which has not at some time or other been 
tried out by the I)E LAVAL experts and cast aside for something 
better in the present DE LAVAL construction. Consider these 
facts well, consult every experienced separator user you can, 
learn all that is possible about cream separators and then tell us 
WHO you think is RIGHT. Meanwhile send for a DE LAVAL 
catalog of separator facts and reasons, to be had for the asking.
