PUBLISHERS DESK. 
Don’t make any mistake. That Jer- 
'froin the house. That makes the party a 
member for five years. About 75 men in 
this neighborhood have signed with him 
thus far. Can you give me amy information 
on the subject? 
sey cow matter will yet be investigated. 
Jersey breeders will see to that, if their 
executive committee persist in their re¬ 
fusal to do so. 
Here are a few more comments: 
I like the fight you are putting up against 
the A. J. C. C. and Senator Dryden and 
general humbugs. X. m. 
New Jersey. 
The R. N.-Y. is too good to lose, and we 
arc ashamed of that other Massachusetts 
man who has stopped his paper. Now that 
you have got Mr. Wadsworth on his back 
and the seedless apple man to time, Mr. 
Dryden and the A. J. C. C. shivering In 
their boots, we wish that you could tackle 
the New England Te.lephone Co. and make 
them give a more rea’sonable rate. s. b. 
Massachusetts. 
You are right about that Jersey cattle 
business. Of what earthly use are the rec¬ 
ords of the A. J. C. C. or any other live 
stock association, if they are not kept cor¬ 
rect. E. E. H. 
New Jersey. 
I like the paper very much, and the way 
you are doing about the A. J. C. C.—they 
ought to be made to investigate that cow 
matter. R. R. 
New York. 
I have just sold the Jersey heifer re¬ 
cently advertised in The It. N.-Y. to Mr. J. 
E. Evens, Natrona, Pa. The Jersey business 
has never been more lively with me than 
now, so your agitation of the registry busi¬ 
ness does nob seem to have frightened buy¬ 
ers. I inclose copy for an advertisement 
to run one year. j. grant morse. 
Hamilton, N. Y. 
Of course, the discussion of tbe regis¬ 
try matter does not frighten buyers. It 
encourages intelligent, conservative buy¬ 
ers, because they see that their interests 
are being looked after, and they have a 
source of redress when mistakes have 
been made or fraud attempted at their 
expense. 
Somehow our types persist in getting 
Chas. Ii. Manly at St. Joseph, Mich, 
lie is at St. Johns, Mich., and he has the 
price of that incubator now for nearly a 
year, and the incubator too. 
Can you give me any information con¬ 
cerning the “Lake Erie Seed Co.” of Blas- 
dell, N. Y., and Cleveland, Ohio, favorable 
<>r otherwise? A man representing himself 
as one of the firm was through here last 
week and took quite some orders for high- 
priced seed. The price is not so much as 
the loss will he if the seed is worthless or 
not adapted to this section. J. m’c. 
New York. 
This is what remains of the old Farm¬ 
ers’ Seed Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., which 
.mod The R. N.-Y. some years ago for 
$100,000 for alleged libel. At that time 
they were organizing local branch com¬ 
panies, and building little warehouses 
wherever they could induce farmers to 
put up the money. They were going to 
buy everything the farmer had t > sell at 
high prices and sell him every.hing he 
wanted to buy at low prices. They would 
raise $15,000 to $20,000 in a place, and put 
up a little building to cost $5,000 or 
$4,000. After The R. N.-Y. exposed the 
game in New York State other States 
woke up. Ohio drove them out of the 
State and indictments were issued against 
the representatives of the company in 
other States. It was alleged that the old 
company bought grain out of the eleva¬ 
tors and sold it as a wonderful new va¬ 
riety for seed at high prices. C immon 
varieties of potatoes were bough; from 
farmers in one section and sold to others 
in the same way. Farmers who order 
seeds under misrepresentations arc abun¬ 
dantly justified in cancelling the order and 
refusing the seeds if delivered afterwards. 
Please inform me if the Mills Seed Co., 
Hose Hill, N. Y., is reliable. . J.. M. c. 
Pennsylvania. 
The best information we can give is 
to leave all such propositions alone. This 
concern has r > rating that we have been 
able to discc. er. It is an old scheme, 
but we have never known it to result in 
anything but loss to the people who bit. 
Why should anyone pay for the privilege 
of buying from any one house, when hun¬ 
dreds of better known houses are anxious 
to sell '<’ou without? You will never buy 
anything from such a concern, member 
or no member, that you cannot duplicate 
for the same or less money from other 
houses trading in the same kind of goods. 
Can you tell me anythin? about the Chase 
Nursery Co., of Geneva, N. Y. ? An agerft 
is in our locality claiming to represent them, 
lie claims he has an imported. French-grown, 
disease-resisting peach tree. lie says these 
pits are gathered in Italy, taken to France, 
and grown for one year; then brought to 
Now York, planted and budded: claiming 
them to he deep-rooted, disease-resisting and 
will bear a good crop in two years and 
every year after; will grow twice as fast 
and live three times as long as our ordi¬ 
nary nursery stock. Of course he asks a 
very large price for these disease-resisting 
trees. I marked him down as a humbug. 
Maryland. d. v. p. 
You are entirely right. The claims are 
absurd. We doubt if this agent represents 
the Chase Company. If he does, lie has no 
authority from them to make any such 
claims for their stock. They are a strong 
house, and could not afford to stand for 
any such absurdities. But all this em¬ 
phasizes the danger of buying seeds and 
nursery stock from traveling agents whom 
you know nothing about. If you place 
your order with reliable houses direct, 
they 3 -i responsible to you; but you have 
little protection when dealing with an 
agent who may and may not be from the 
house he claims to represent. 
The Spencer Seedless apple man is at 
work in this valley. He called oil my neigh¬ 
bor and was about to close a deal for 25 
or more trees, but I “coached” the neighbor 
and gave him some sample copies of The 
R. N.-Y. It saved him $15 in cash and 
the work of caring for those trees, and yet 
he would not subscribe. “Had all the papers 
he could read now”: “the paper was not 
adapted to this country," etc., etc. 
New Mexico. el s. g. 
We are glad that The R. N.-Y. saved 
$15 for this good friend’s neighbor in the 
far Southwest, even though it did not con¬ 
vince him that he needed the paper reg¬ 
ularly, We would rather have saved him 
$15 than have one dollar of his that we 
did not earn. 
i believe Tub R. N.-Y. is becoming more 
and more each year just the paper every 
farmer need*. i. d. c. 
New York. 
We sincerely hope this is so. If it were 
not we would feel that our work was a 
failure. Each issue of The R. N.-Y. may 
not be better than the one that went be¬ 
fore; but we want to make it so. To 
those who believe in the sincerity and 
value of this work, we appeal for the co¬ 
operation that alone can make it succeed. 
We need not remind you that there are 
people who do not like it. The rogues, 
the frauds and the fakers don’t like it. 
Firms who like to get farmers’ orders 
and money, and then do as they like after¬ 
wards, don’t like it. Politicians who rep¬ 
resent special interests and trusts don’t 
like it. They all fight it as hard as they 
dare. The farmers who do like it must 
support, it, if it is to succeed and continue 
the struggle fearlessly in their interest. 
This is our apologv for asking your own 
prompt renewal, and an occasional new 
name from your neighbor. We especially 
suggest that you send some of those 10 
weeks orders for 10 cents each.

They are well rated now financially; 
but we would not accept their advertis¬ 
ing. 
Complaints continue to come in about 
the Reliance Nursery Co., Geneva, N. Y. 
They do not seem to have improved their 
methods by experience. 
We confess that C. G. Lloydt, Sayre, 
Pa., succeeded in pulling the wool over 
our eyes, but he did the same thing with 
his neighbors. C. L. B. Landis was on 
our black list for the last 15 years. We 
knew him to be a fraud, and his advertis¬ 
ing was always refused. He got into 
trouble and left for Canada. He was gone 
several years. When he returned dis¬ 
guised lie assumed the name of Lloydt. 
He sent us an order. We investigated 
and got favorable reports. He was cred¬ 
ited with doing a conservative business 
and enjoying the confidence of his neigh¬ 
bors. Nothing new has been brought 
against him, but he is under arrest for old 
offenses. OT course his adveitisement 
was discontinued.

An 
Open 
Secret 
It’is an open secret among poultry 
raisers who have been successful that 
food is not all that makes hens lay. Often¬ 
times even the greatest care and attention to 
proper feeding will not produce eggs at this 
season of the year. Such a condition is invariably 
due to digestivedifficultiesandsometimesdlsease. 
Dr. Hess Poultry Pan-a-ce-a meets this condition. 
It is a tonic, increasing the powers of digestion, sup¬ 
plying iron for the blood, cleansing the liver, arousing 
tbe egg-producing organs, reddening the comb and 
brightening the feathers. 
DR. HESS 
Poultry PAN-A-CE-A 
Is the prescription of Dr. Hess (M. D., D. V. S.). In addition to Increasing egg 
production it cures and prevents poultry diseases. Besides being atonic 
it has a special property peculiar to itself—that of destroying 
Infection, the source of so many poultry diseases. Itbearsthe
