PUBLISHER’S DESK 
I have received t lie 1>ook from David B. 
Clarkson & Co., Chicago, III., and the mat¬ 
ter is settled satisfactorily. Thank you.

But it took over two months corre¬ 
spondence to get a 35-cent hook. One 
can imagine how long the farmer would 
have to write letters before he could get 
his order filled. 
treatment is free, but you must send 
$3.50 for a vaporizer. A cure is guar¬ 
anteed in a month or money refunded. 
When you demand the money back, you 
are told that your particular case is a 
stubborn one., and you must continue 
another month. The Post Office De¬ 
partment has now isued fraud orders 
against him. It is said that he was re¬ 
ceiving about 400 letters a day when 
the Government issued the orders. 
Will you give facts if you can in regard 
to the Seminole Land and Investment Com¬ 
pany. of Saint Cloud, Florida? 1 wish to 
know of the place and reliability of the 
Company if possible. 
Pennsylvania. mbs. g. t- 
A friend who is familiar with the 
lands in question from personal visita¬ 
tion tells us that the lands are worthless 
and a’most uninhabitable, being low and 
marshy. 
What do vou know of the school of Ap¬ 
plied Arts, Battle Creek, Mich.? Can draw¬ 
ing be taught successfully by mail? 
Ohio. E. w. u. 
There is altogether too much fake in 
these correspondence school schemes. 
They can, some of them do. give a lit¬ 
tle guidance in self study; but all of 
them promise too much, and many of 
them are out-and-out fakes. We do not 
think drawing can be taught success¬ 
fully by mail. 
I)o you know anything about the relia¬ 
bility of the Universal Co.. Dept. 9, Phila¬ 
delphia, Pa.? It claims to send work to 
reliable women and pay them $10 per hun¬ 
dred for making shields at home. They 
want $1 in advance. J. M. w. 
Maryland. 
Another work-at-home fake. They 
will not pay you $10 for making shields' 
They simply want to sell you something 
for $1 that you would not buy except 
for the promise of work. Such proposi¬ 
tions are all fakes.

We have an account against them for 
collection from a Hudson River house 
amounting to $171. They pay no atten¬ 
tion to demands for payment, and our 
attorneys have returned the account as 
uncollectible. We have had numerous 
complaints during recent years to which 
they usually pay no attention whatever. 
In "one or two cases, however, we suc¬ 
ceeded in getting remittances returned 
when goods were delivered. A J. H. 
Bradley is the owner. 
In 1891, I bought a small farm of 22 
acres. Now I find there arc only 20 
acres. I had a mortgage of $1,500 on this 
place, for which I paid interest at six 
per cent for eight years. Did the person 
who sold me the place have a right to 
sell 22 acres when there were only 20 acres, 
and did he have a right to take interest 
on the money I paid for it? What can 
I do about it? v. F. 
New York. 
Your deed probably calls for 22 acres 
more or less on a survey, and if a new 
survey now made the plot out 20 acres, 
we do not think jam would have any 
redress either on account of the land or 
of the interest paid on the mortgage. 
In March. 190”. I purchased from the 
W. M. Ostrander Co. one share of stock 
for the sum of one hundred dollars, in¬ 
tending to take more stock later on. I was 
to receive from 9 to 12 per cent interest 
annually. I got my dividend once and the 
last two years have not received anything. 
This firm is now located in New York city, 
437 Fifth avenue, having removed to that 
place from Philadelphia, Pa. To-day while 
looking over your paper I noticed the re¬ 
mark “Ostrander’s tricks.” Is this the 
W. M. Ostrander or some other Ostrander? 
'if it is the above Ostrander what would 
you advise me to do? Can I get back my 
money with interest, or what can I do to 
get it bock? Just a word in regard to 
your paper. I bought a farm two years 
ago and since then have subscribed to sev¬ 
eral farm papers but would rather give 
up tlie other three Ilian The II. N.-Y. I 
find it most interesting and instructive of 
any and will do all I can to get new sub¬ 
scribers. I also got “stung" with the 
Wonderberry, and I thank you for your 
kindness in exposing such fakes. J. G. d. 
New Jersey. 
Yes; this is the Ostrander referred 
to. We know no way by which you 
can get your'money back. Our advice 
would be to consider your $100 lost, and 
use it as a lesson to keep out of the 
clutches of fakers for the future. You 
were lucky to discover Ostrander tricks 
for $100. They have cost some people 
a good deal more money. The R. N.~ 
Y. had exposed Ostrander’s methods 
long before you invested with him. He 
has been a success at getting other peo¬ 
ple’s money without giving anything of 
value in return. This is probably why 
he has so many imitators now—some 
of them publishers. J. J. d.

Will you inform me about Crowley's 
Magazine Subscription Agency, on the Bos¬ 
ton lloail, the Bronx? Their advertisement 
in the New York Mail offers responsible po-' 
sitions to young men with capital. A young 
man wrote them and went to see them. 
They wanted him to travel on commission, 
allowing traveling expenses. He must take 
$ 1,000 worth of stock, so that be would 
take more interest in the business.

This young man can get all the jobs 
he. wants from publishers or subscrip¬ 
tion agencies, working either on the 
subscription or salary plan. All he has 
to do is to make good on results and 
his position will be permanent. We 
certainly would not advise him to put 
his $1,000 into a subscription business 
for the purpose of increasing his inter¬ 
est or for any other reason.

Can you tell me anything about Richard

lie has a confectionary store; we sent him 
$22.25 worth of maple sugar three years 
ago. We can get no answer from him. 
New York. D. b. n. 
Mr. Foy paid no attention to our let¬ 
ters requesting remittance. We then 
called; a young woman, who seemed to 
be in charge said Mr. Foy was not in 
and she could not tell when he could be 
seen. We then placed the account for 
collection. The young woman then 
claimed that Mr. Foy had sold out two 
years ago. The account was returned 
as uncollectible. When rogues want to 
escape their accounts in New York, 
they usually find a way to do it. The 
only safe way is to insist on rating and 
reference, or cash in advance.

and it doesn’t take the up-to-date farmer long to discover them 
and their value to him. It is the number of practical features 
embodied in an engine that determines the degree of satisfaction it will 
give to its owner. All gasoline engines have some good points, or there 
would be no sale for them and they would soon be taken off the market. 
Some engines have more good points than others, that’s why some 
engines are better than others. 
Waterloo Boy gJSJS 
have all the good points that go into any gasoline engine, besides many exclusive, patented fea¬ 
tures thatincrease their efficiency and durability; make them marvels of simplicity and wonder¬ 
fully economical engines to operate. That’s why we say the Waterloo Boy is the best engine 
for farm use. 
You can buy a Waterloo Boy for less money than you will be asked for engines containing 
half of the good points we build into our engines. Besides we will send a Waterloo Boy to any 
responsible farmer and lethim try it for thirty days on his farm doing whatever work he has to 
do. We will pay the freight both ways and return his money if after a month’s use he can¬ 
not pick out the good points for himself— if he can’t see that it is the one and only engine that 
will give him complete satisfaction. 
Now, when you buy a gasoline engine you had better be sure that the engine you get was 
made by a concern that makes gasoline engines and nothing else. Our efforts are all directed 
toward making and keeping the Waterloo Boy the best engine in the world. We have 
no other interests—no side lines. 
Don’t you want to try a Waterloo Boy? Don’t yon want to see how much labor 
and time it will save you? Remember we are offering you a free trial for 30 
days. Better write us today for our catalogue and free trial offer.

Du.. FLEXIBLE ELBOW 
The Elbow fastens to 
the upper end of the 
blower pipe and has 
the proper bend, which is very es¬ 
sential to do the proper work, and 
the lower end of the same, which 
projects into the silo, is equipped 
with a short, flexible joint, thereby 
giving freedom to the movement 
of the Distributer pipe, and at the 
same time retaining the blast of 
the blower which packs the feed. 
OUR FLEXIBLE DISTRIBUTOR 
The upper section connects with 
the flexible end of the elbow by 
means of rings on one and snaps 
on the other. Each section tele¬ 
scopes the lower one a short dis¬ 
tance and fastens by the same de-. 
vice, thereby rendering the Dis¬ 
tributor highly Flexible, and at 
the same time conveying the full 
blast from the blower which packs 
the ensilage, and same results can 
never be duplicated by any other 
. k r device. This is a very important 
b -■ ■ » point and should never be over¬ 
looked. An equal distribution can not. be ob¬ 
tained without this directed force. Sections can 
be unsnapped without the stopping of the ma¬ 
chine. Send for Catalog and prices.
