PUBLISHER’S DESK 
Your article on the financial flurry in re¬ 
ply to “Header,” and your stand in the Jer¬ 
sey cattle case is my reason for continuing 
your paper. c. r. w. 
Pennsylvania. 
1 wish to congratulate yon on your Jersey 
cattle fight. Keep it up, we stand by you, 
although it will no doubt dethrone one of 
our Idols. s. w. w. 
New York. 
'l’he admirably clear and truthful reply 
to “Header” on page 865 Is worthy of an 
honest and a fearless newspaper. IIow 
many papers will copy? a. e. a. 
Massachusetts, 
1 am very glad to see you give the frauds 
hail Columbia. One man in tnls town could 
not afford to take The H. N.-Y.. but let 
Ostrahder beat him out of enough to pay 
for Tub, It. N;‘Y. for a lifetime. 0. W. 
New Hampshire: 
riease find herewith $1 for my renewal, 
also 10 cents for a trial subscription, tlsd 
it for lubricating the wheels of Justice to 
keep all frauds on a smooth downhill slide, 
especially the A. J. C. C. frauds. 
Vermont. a. a. h. 
Please find enclosed money order for 
$1.30; the dollar for the renewal of my sub¬ 
scription and the 30 cents for three 10 
weeks’ trial subscriptions. Your stand in 
tlie Jersey cattle case, is, judging from the 
past, only what might be expected from you. 
I only hope that it will serve to increase 
your circulation as you highly deserve. 
Texas. a. a. 
Of the 12 papers (seven agricultural) 
which I take, yours is the only one to state 
frankly and plainly the facts as they are in 
tlie financial world. The real cause lias not 
been so thoroughly made to loom up as in 
the article in answer to “Header,’’ under 
the heading “Publisher’s Desk.” This is 
worth many years’ patronage. n. c. 
Michigan. 
The above extracts are selected from 
a flood of letters on the same subjects 
because of their brevity. If there is 
any other sentiment on the subjects 
among farmers we have not been able to 
discover it. The attempts of a few weak 
papers, subsidized by the system, to ac¬ 
celerate public opinion among farmers 
are not meeting with flattering success. 
As far as The R. N.-Y. is concerned, 
tlie vote of confidence is now being 
taken. Every renewal and every new 
name sent by old readers is an affirma¬ 
tive vote. The ballots are coming in 
fast just now; but, of course, the nega¬ 
tives, if there be any, are not being 
forwarded. If you want to be regis¬ 
tered in approval of the work being 
done, send your renewal promptly when 
the expiration notice reaches you, and 
do not forget the 10-weeks orders for 
your friends. We would like to see 
the subscription record for December 
run ahead of previous years. It will if 
each subscriber sends renewal promptly 
when the notice reaches him. 
Something like nine or ten years ago my 
wife and I took some stock in the Eastern 
Building and Loan Association of Syracuse, 
paid in $6 apiece for It) months, then, 
thinking the concern not good, sent in a 
withdrawal, as we could draw out a certain 
per cent of what we had paid in, but it 
went for several months, then we' had a 
letter telling us it would be a long time 
for us to wait to get our money as there 
were so many ahead of us. The Corpora¬ 
tion Liquidation Company of Park Row got 
our address and sent a man to buy our 
stock. They offered us .about 50 cents on 
the dollar, they to take our certificates 
and give one of theirs, and give us four per 
cent semi-annually. This we did, and the 
interest came promptly for about two years, 
then it failed to come. I have been to see 
them and have written them, but can get 
no reply, and when I see them can get no 
satisfaction. Is there no way to get such 
people to pay up? b. d. w. 
New York. 
Absolutely nothing can be done to 
make these people pay up. We found 
the officers of the company, but the 
company is in process of liquidation. 
Whatever little assets it has will no 
doubt be eaten up for fees and expenses. 
Once more let us caution you not to 
invest in concerns and enterprises until 
you know positively something of their 
value, and of the men who control 
them. 
I gave an order to a Rochester nursery¬ 
man for a number of fruit trees, to be 
shipped next April. lie charges six to 
seven times more than other nurseries: but 
after making inquiries, I find his trees are 
no better than others. Can I now cancel 
the order, which I signed, and which states 
not subject to countermand? h. h. w. 
New York. 
Certainly you can cancel the order. 
He probably made false representation 
about the value of the trees; and this 
would constitute fraud if you relied on 
his statement when making the order, 
and fraud is always sufficient justifica¬ 
tion for countermand of order or for 
repudiating a contract. He has suffered 
no hardship by the cancellation of the 
order. At best he could only sue to re¬ 
cover for the loss of profit in the order. 
This he would have to do in the local 
courts where the order was taken; and 
while he may threaten and bluff, he 
never would go into court on a propo¬ 
sition of that kind before a jury of 
farmers. Cancel the order by all means. 
Is this an old sell or a spick span new 
one? e. c. b. 
Iowa. 
The above inquiry accompanied a let¬ 
ter from one Bennett, Madrid, Spain. 
The letter states that Mr. Bennett is in 
jail for a political offense, and incloses 
a newspaper clipping to corroborate his 
story. He has $48,000 in a bank, and 
wants to give up one-third of it to this 
correspondent if he will advance enough 
money to release his portmanteau, 
which contains the papers in a secret 
apartment, necessary to secure the re¬ 
lease of the money in an American bank. 
He has an only daughter and his only 
concern is to secure the balance of his 
fortune for her. It is an old fake that 
has been worked over and over at vari¬ 
ous times for many years. Of course, 
if anyone sent him a remittance, the 
purpose would be accomplished, and the 
remitter would not hear from him 
again. 
Find enclosed a clipping In regard to a 
chap you warned subscribers to lot alone. 
I took your advice and am thankful. 
Michigan. g. c. B. 
The clipping contained an account of 
a bankrupt sale of the effects of 
Charles H. Manly, formerly of St. 
John’s, Mich., but later of Buffalo, N. Y., 
where he operated as the National Con¬ 
struction Company. His much-adver¬ 
tised estimating department proved to 
be confined to three girl typewriters. 
Two portable houses which sold for $20 
and some office furniture seems to be 
the extent of the sale. The only other 
asset was some letters of inquiry in 
which the trustee refused a bid of $55. 
Later Manly was arrested by a Post 
Office inspector at Detroit, Mich., 
charged with the fraudulent use of the 
mails. Failing to furnish bail, he was 
locked up in the Buffalo jail. j. j. d. 
Kinetic Energy| 
Kinetic is a good word. It 
means “power to make things 
go.” A fat bank account, a 
rock on the edge of a hill, 
a barrel of gunpowder, and 
SCOTT’S EMULSION all 
contain “kinetic energy,” 
so the professor tells us. 
Power is stored up in 
Scott’s Emulsion 
This force let loose in the 
system of the consumptive 
gives him the strength to 
take on new flesh. It is a 
powerful flesh-producer.

CREAM IS MONEY 
_ The chief reason you want a separator , 
is to get more cream—more money—out 
of your milk. Of course you want to get 
the most, and you naturally want the 
separator that gets the most cream

Holds World’s Record for CLEAN Skimming 
Marshfield, Vt.,Feb. 2,’07. 
I bought one of the-ma¬ 
chines, but after running 
it a little while I found it 
was not skimming clean. 
I had it tested at the cream- 
1, eries here and found it to, 
| test 1 per cent,, and I 
could not stand this so ex¬ 
changed it for one of the 
U. S. machines, and find 
that if I had given the 
other machine away I 
should have made 
money by so doing. I 
like the U. S. very much, 
Almon Tucker. 
The U. S. is also the simplest, strong¬ 
est, safest separator. Only two parts in 
the bowl—easy to wash. Gears turn in 
oil and run surprising easy. Lasts for 
many years with ordinary care.

Some Truths About Roofs 
W HAT'S the difference between Carey’s and other 
composition roofings? All the difference in the 
world. Carey’s is made to Wear —as long as the 
building stands. Other composition roofings are made 
to sell —at a wide margin of profit. 
CAREY’S 
Flexible 
Cement 
ROOFING 
Is a standard roofing. It is better than any other roofing 
because kb contains more real roofing value — a greater 
amount ot high-grade, enduring materials. No paper to 
rot, no pitch to melt, no gravel to wash off. 
Carey’sisthcONLYcomposition roofingthat—(1) Outlaststhe building 
it covers: (2) Has an absolutely perfect jointlprotectcd by U. S. patent); 
(3) Will not melt, rot, dry out or lose its life and elasticity: and, 
(4) Will not blowoff. 
We are the only manufacturers of a ONE STANDARD 
GRADE and UNIFORM QUALITY roofing. The roofing 
we offer you is precisely the same as that applied to million 
dollar buildings in large cities. Accept no substitute.
