THE THIRD DAWLEY SUIT 
Mr. Dawley’s Complaint. 
In the third action, the complaint quotes part of an article 
on page 573 of the June 29 issue in which it is said: “We 
have Dawley on record as saying that ‘Dotshome Queen 
Carey’ was a black heifer with rings in her nose, but that 
Dawley gave her another name at the investigation; that 
•Dotshome Queen Carey’ was transferred as a farrow cow, 
but that this cow dropped a calf 14 days after the sale.” The 
complaint also quotes the engraving printed in that issue of 
the registry application which Rogers sent to the A. J. C. C. 
for the calf of the so-called “Dotshome Queen Carey.” It 
alleges that this application purported to be signed by Daw¬ 
ley in two different places; that he did not sign it and that 
this constituted a forgery. That the publication of this arti¬ 
cle charged Dawley with fraud in the sale of “Dotshome 
Queen Carey” to Isaac Rogers, with false representation as 
to the date when said cow was served, and with signing ap¬ 
plication for the registry of the calf alleged to have been 
dropped by her on the fourth day of December, 1905, and 
that Dawley Is informed and believes that the said calf was 
not dropped by said “Dotshome Queen Carey,” but by an¬ 
other cow. 
The R. N-Y.’s Answer. 
In reply, we admit that Dawley sold 10 head of cattle to 
Rogers, claiming that all were purebred and entitled to reg¬ 
istry, Rogers relying upon the truth of Dawley’s statement; 
but we allege that these cattle thus sold by Dawley as pure¬ 
bred Jerseys are not all entitled to registry; and that several 
are grades and others not properly registered to their real 
dams. We also allege as before, that Dawley, after agreeing 
to deliver the necessary registry and pedigree papers to 
Rogers as a part of his contract, failed and neglected to do 
so, in violation of this contract. Among the cattle thus sold 
by Dawley was a black cow with rings in her nose. That 
Dawley on several occasions represented this cow to be 
“Dotshome Queen Carey,” but that later he identified her as 
“Dotshome Matilda Naiad,” and a daughter of “Matilda of 
Side View.” We allege upon information and belief that 
this cow is not a daughter of the registered cow “Matilda of 
Side View”; that she was sold to Rogers under a wrong 
name, and under a misrepresentation and false statement of 
facts. We allege that Dawley stated at the time of sale that 
another of these cows was registered under the name of 
“Kitty D’Argent,” and due to calve before Christmas, but 
that later, after the delivery of the cattle, he stated that 
this same cow was “Dotshome Queen Carey.” We further 
allege that he also stated that “Dotshome Queen Carey” had 
not been served, which statement was untrue as to this cow, 
as she dropped a calf on December 4, 1905, or 14 days after 
the sale. We allege that the A. J. C. C., after an investiga¬ 
tion, found on the statement of Dawley, that this cow sold 
as “Kitty D’Argent” was “Dotshome Queen Carey.” We 
allege that following this decision, Rogers forwarded appli¬ 
cation for registry of this calf from the cow identified as 
“Dotshome Queen Carey,” as after this identification he was 
entitled to have this calf registered. We allege that this 
application properly set forth the facts concerning the calf 
as stated by Dawley to Rogers and the inconsistency, if any, 
was due to Dawley’s contradictory statement about the cow. 
We allege that anyone can see that the names of both Dawley 
and Rogers in this application are clearly in the same hand¬ 
writing and no more purporting to be signed by Dawley than 
if they had been printed. We allege further that it was not 
required by the rules of the A. J. C. C. that this application 
should be signed by Dawley. the transfer certificate of the 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
dam with certification of her breeding being sufficient. We 
further allege that Dawley voluntarily appeared before the 
Investigating Committee of the A. ,T. C. C. and submitted 
himself to their jurisdiction* He assented to the publication 
of the report, and thus invited discussion of his conduct and 
methods in making this sale of cattle. We further allege 
that we were within the functions and rights of an agricul¬ 
tural paper in discussing this case and that it was discussed 
without malice toward Mr. Dawley, but in the legitimate 
performance of a duty to the public. 
A DAY AT IR0NDEQU01T, NEW YORK 
I recently spent a day or two among the fruit and vege¬ 
table growers of Irondequoit, Monroe County. N. Y., which 
is north of Rochester. They have within a few years estab¬ 
lished a public market place in Rochester where every pro¬ 
ducer has to go to sell his produce. It was estimated on the 
morning of September 21 that there were over one thousand 
teams on the market place. The market place contains from 
five to seven acres with but little shed room and no protec¬ 
tion for the teams in foul weather, which is very severe on 
the teams, for many of them come long distances, and with 
DOTSHOME QUEEN CAREY. Fio. 383. 
heavy loads, although the farmers are very careful to do 
the best they can to protect their teams, as the morning 
was fine and a man did not need an overcoat, yet there were 
but few horses but what were provided with a good wool 
blanket and stood eating their breakfast from a nosebag. 
The market place is poorly lighted, and at 5 a. m. the elec¬ 
tric lights go out; as the day began to appear this was not 
so bad, but many said that later in the season they would 
have no light unless they carried a lantern. The market is 
well conducted. A market boss patrols the ground at all 
times, and a policeman is on hand to look after the city's 
interest. The fruits are mostly peaches, plums, prunes and 
a few pears, but mostly peaches, and such peaches! Many 
of them are six to eight inches in circumference, and of 
fine flavor. But what interested me most was the way the 
trees were cared for. The ground was kept thoroughly cul¬ 
tivated until the fruit was quite a good size, and as" soon 
as the fruit was taken off cultivation began again. The same 
process was applied to all good kinds of fruits, and by all 
growers who wish to produce a fine quality, and the trees 
showed they had enough to eat, for they were certainly fine. 
The crop for Irondequoit is celery. At a careful estimate 1 
there were seen growing over 150 acres, cared for with all 
the intelligence that one gives any fine crop. Some extensive 
growers were forcing it with irrigation, which seemed easy, 
as an abundance of water is secured at a depth of five to 12 
feet. Land in the celery bolt is valued at $1,000 per acre 
without improvements. Every man has a glass house, and 
some have many; I think I saw 25 acres covered with 
glass for the purpose of hothouse lettuce, cucumbers, rad- 
773 
ishes and tomatoes. Quite a little ground is used for musk- 
melonsr*cauliflowers, and some rhubarb. a. p. bakeu.

STRAWBERRIES IN DELAWARE. 
I am much interested in strawberries as raised in Dela¬ 
ware. What kinds do they raise there for main crop to make 
the most money, and what will it cost per basket to send 
them in iced cars 1,500 •miles? What do they pay per 
basket for picking? There is no place in Canada they can 
raise berries like Delaware, and there must be a great de¬ 
mand for them. How do they cultivate in these large areas? 
I suppose with riding cultivators. What is the price of 
land there? j. m. 
Ontario, Canada. 
Superior, Stevens Late Champion and the Gandy are the 
three main varieties. All of these varieties do well here. The 
berries are all sold right here at the station. Buyers from 
northern points come or send some one to buy for them. The 
grower seldom or never ships now. The buyers ship in iced 
cars. 1 do not know the cost per quart basket. New York, 
New England points and Canada take our berries. We are 
about two weeks ahead of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey 
crop, and we come in at. the close of the North Carolina crop, 
just between. This year the weather was such that tin 1 
harvest lasted four weeks. We pay 1 U, cent per quart for 
picking. Cultivation is done by horse (or mule) and ordi¬ 
nary cultivator. Few have the riding cultivators. Colored 
hired men or boys do the hoeing for 10 cents per hour. We 
cultivate and hoe many times during the first year—the 
first Summer. Land sells here from $20 to $100 per acre, 
according to quality and location. It is difficult to say how 
many plants an acre will raise for sale. All depends upon 
the quality of soil and the treatment they receive.

At the 1907 Tennessee State Fair a big butter-making o ntest 
limited to Tennessee women was held in the presence of 5000 people. 
Miss Kate Gleaves who won the First Prize of $50—made her butter 
from De F a val cream. And so it goes, from year to year; De Laval 
users invariably win all Highest Honors in every butter scoring contest 
that is held. All Highest Awards in every contest of the National 
Butter-makers Association from 1892 up to the present time have been 
won by users of De Laval machines. The butter receiving the highest 
score at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1901 was De Laval made ; as 
was also the Grand Prize butter of the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. 
Write today for a De Laval catalog which will help to make plain 
why De Laval cream enables superior butter-making.

Rapid Growth 
Pigs grow faster than other farm ani¬ 
mals because of great digestive capa¬ 
city. Yet herein lies a danger as well 
as an advantage. It is easy because a 
pig consumes much food to spoil diges¬ 
tion by overfeeding. When you fatten 
pigs it is well to give Dr. Hess Stock 
Food in the ration twice a day. Better 
yet, it is well to begin the use of
