PUBLISHER’S DESK 
I am in complete sympathy with your at- 
litucle on all <jsiosti°ns where agricultural 
interests are at stake. You are always 
found on the right side, and aye one of the 
few papers that have the courage of your 
convictions. Farmers can congratulate them¬ 
selves that they have a true friend in you. 
where they can ever obtain a "square deal.” 
Greenwich, Conn. G. s. d. 
Call it a desire for glory or what you 
will, but we would rather that a million 
farmers feel and speak that sentiment 
than that our rewards be a million dol¬ 
lars a year for profits on the publishing 
of this paper. It would be too much to 
assume that we could always be right, 
but it is the least that our friends could 
expect that we be always honest—honest 
with them and honest with ourselves. 
Charles H. Manly, formerly of St. 
Johns, Michigan, but later of Buffalo, 
X. Y., supposed to be in the incubator 
and portable house building business, was 
sentenced to 2 x / 2 years in Auburn State 
prison, and he is now serving his time. 
It will be remembered that Manly re¬ 
ceived orders and remittances for goods, 
but never sent them. He was arrested 
and convicted for use of the mails for 
fraudulent purposes. The R. N.-Y. has 
been exposing his methods for nearly 
two years. 
We have numerous inquiries about 
Jas. T. Haviland, 80 Walt Street, New 
York, who wants to use your money in 
M all Street speculation. This gentle¬ 
man has had some court experience- in 
the past, and his customers did not feel 
that his handling of their accounts was 
entirely disinterested. At all events, they 
lost money. Burn his letters and circu¬ 
lars as soon as you can get them to the 
fire. • 
What do you know of the Oxford Linen 
Mills, of Gardner. Mass., whose stock is be¬ 
ing put on the market by the Sterling De¬ 
benture Corporation. N. Y. ? C. M. ji. 
Massachusetts. 
This is a company with an authorized 
capital stock of $2,000,000, all of which, 
we understand, has been issued for pat¬ 
ents and contracts. It is said that 
$1,500,000 of the stock has been placed 
in the treasury. They have no factory, 
but it is said one of their directors has 
a contract for building a bleach house. 
The Sterling Debenture Corporation is 
represented in the board of directors. 
It is said that the president is seldom 
at the office, and that recently he spent 
much of his time in New York City in 
an effort to finance the company. It is 
reported that thread from another mill 
is being used as samples, of what they 
intend to manufacture. The indications 
are that the concern is short of capital 
and some bills are past due. We see no 
reason why these people should not or¬ 
ganize a company for $2,000,000 or any 
other amount, but we cannot advise 
farmers to put their money into stocks 
of this kind. 
These two letters came in a recent 
mail: 
Is F. IT. Keeler & Co. doing business at 
104 Murray street. New Y'ork? I sent him 
two coops of cockerels valued at about SI8. 
October 8. I have no returns and they do 
not answer my letters. k. ,t. d. 
New York. ... 
Do you know anything of R. 8. Hammond 
& Co.. 110 Warren street. New York, com¬ 
mission merchants? Are they reliable? A 
Mr. Hammond is soliciting fruit for them. 
Last year lie represented F. TT. Keeler & Co., 
and several got taken in by that Arm. I 
wondered if it was the old firm in a new 
name. h. e.. m . 
Florida. 
One of these letters partially answers 
the inquiry of the other. Keeler & Co-, 
moved from one place to another, and 
we lost track of them for awhile. W e 
had frequent inquiries for them, and 
some bills to collect from them. Mr. 
Hammond was the only representative 
of the old concern that we could ever 
find. He always said that he was an 
employee, and claimed that papers served 
on him were not service on the company. 
Whether this was so or not it saved his 
concern from some suits. Under the 
new title he will undoubtedly coutiuue 
the old line of business in the old way. 
We would" recommend cash in advance 
for all consignments. 
We yet have a place for some good 
steady men to do subscription work for 
The. R. N.-Y. We will pay well for 
good work. If interested let us hear 
from you. 
While the returns for subscriptions 
during December were most encourag¬ 
ing, there are yet some renewals which 
are not in for December. V\ e are con¬ 
fidently looking for these renewals this 
month. If yon are one who laid the ex¬ 
piration notice aside for future use, can’t 
you look it up and use it now ? There is 
no more effective way to express your 
appreciation, and if you can include a 10- 
weeks order for a neighbor or two or 
more so much the better. J. J. d. 
Probably not, if always per¬ 
mitted at liberty to secure such 
diet as Nature intended. We 
must remember, however, that 
the animal domesticated, is sub¬ 
ject to unnatural conditions. The 
feeder is striving to make a ioco 
lb. steer in a year’s time when Nature would 
take much longer. He is making a 200 lb. hog 
in one-fourth the period unassisted growth 
would require for the same operation. More 
than this, he is asking the cow, whose capacity 
for milk secretion was limited to the brief in¬ 
fancy of the calf, to do violence to Nature’s plan 
and produce milk for eleven months. Now, of course, extra production means extra food, 
and extra food, if long continued, means a deranged digestive system. Hence it is easy to 
see that even a healthy animal continuously overfed needs the assistance of a corrective tonic. 
DB HESS STOCK 
the prescription of Dr. Hess (M.D., D. V. S.) contains elements which the most advanced medical science recom¬ 
mends for the conditions we are considering—iron for the blood—bitter tonics for digestion and nitrates to expel 
poisonous matter. It gives appetite for roughage, thus saving more costly foods and by increasing assimilation 
saves nutriment that would otherwise enrich the manure heap. Dr. Hess Stock Pood makes more milk, hastens the fatting 
of a steer or hog and is the best known tonic preparation for horses. Solti 011 a written guarantee.

Where Pr. Hess. Stock Food differs in particular is in thedose—it’s small and fed lmt twice a day, which proves it has the most digestive strength 
to the pound. Our Government recognizes I)r. Hess Stock Food as a medicinal compound and this paper is back of the guarantee.

covered that with the New Method
