PUBLISHER’S DESK 
Enclosed $1 ; please extend m.v subscrip¬ 
tion another year. While I can ill spare 
the dollar just now, I hope to get at 
least 100 per cent on the investment; also, 
1 believe every right-minded reader of your 
paper ought to do that much to help you 
in your crusade against fraud, especially 
the famous Dawley-Rogers cattle case. You 
can hardly estimate the pleasure it gives 
(me at least) to find a paper so out¬ 
spoken for the principles of justice, where 
so many are simply, what shall I call 
them? “Servants of Mammon" only. Wish¬ 
ing you every honest success, I remain 
yours truly, J. E. B. 
Indiana. 
In renewing my subscription. I find it 
impossible to refrain from expressing my 
.admiration of your courage in uncovering 
the manifest fraud in the cow sale matter. 
Iii these days of petty and great dishonesty 
in commerce, which the awakening moral 
sense of the nation is discussing and re¬ 
probating, it is well that a paper of your 
influence and circulation takes its present 
stand. A paper that, with loss to its 
owners, and with trouble and annoyance 
little appreciated by those not conversant 
with law matters, protects its clientele 
against fakers and frauds, deserves the 
united and substantial support of all farm¬ 
ers, especially when the weekly contents of 
the paper so well repay the trivial outlay 
its subscription requires. h. v. c. 
Ohio. 
The above letters express the senti¬ 
ments of practically every farmer we 
have heard from with reference to those 
Jersey cattle. Since the testimony of 
Mr. Squiers and Mr. Benedict given at 
Mr. Rogers’ place as printed in The 
R. N.-Y. last week, there can be no 
further question about the identity of 
those cows. It is a matter of great 
satisfaction and encouragement to us 
that so many farmers recognize the 
principle involved in this case and ex¬ 
press their approval so freely when re¬ 
newing their subscriptions. 
Will you let me know if the United States 
Medical Dispensary, Dispensary building. 
No. 2ft East 22d street, New York city, is 
reliable? G. a. s. 
Massachusetts. 
We did not know these people, and 
as they had not established rating in 
commercial records available to us, we 
called them on the telephone and made 
inquiry. The reply was such that we 
did not care to pursue the subject fur¬ 
ther. Our experience is that houses 
worthy of confidence are always willing 
to give information about their business. 
Upon what other theory or basis can a 
house expect credit or patronage? 
Received check O. K. Thank you for 
the kind favor. j. b. c. 
New York. 
This is the acknowledgement of a 
little service we were glad to be able to 
render a subscriber. He had sent $5 
for a poultry order to a man who ad¬ 
vertised in a poultry paper, but was 
unable to get the poultry or the return 
of his money. We were able to get a 
check for his remittance, and forwarded 
it to him. The above is an acknowl¬ 
edgement. Some publishers call this 
kind of work yellow journalism; but 
we fail to see why a publisher of a farm 
paper should not use the influence of the 
paper for the benefit of its readers when 
the demands of the subscriber are just 
and fair. If doing this is yellow jour¬ 
nalism, then The R. N.-Y. will simply 
carry the brand. 
In renewing my subscription to your 
paper I must extend my very tardy thanks 
for your assistance in the matter con¬ 
cerning the D-ike Erie Seed Co. After 
writing them to cancel the order, and stat¬ 
ing that I would refuse to accept same if 
they were shipped, the seeds were shipped, 
and I received several threatening letters 
from them, all of which I answered in a 
firm but courteous manner. The seeds 
were 'finally sold for less than ordinary 
grain prices. J. m. c. 
New Jersey. 
This subscriber was induced last year 
to give an order* for seeds under mis¬ 
representation of the agent. They rep¬ 
resented the seeds as entirely new varie¬ 
ties, while as a matter of fact cuts 
ipsed to describe them had been used by 
the same men 10 years ago. They are 
the old American Farm Company outfit, 
of Buffalo, N. Y. We advised this 
correspondent to cancel the order and 
refuse the seeds, if shipped. The Ameri¬ 
can Farm Co. used to buy common seed 
out of the elevators and sell it as a new 
special seed variety. 
We have what seems to be a reason¬ 
able complaint against R. E. Jones, 
Nashville, Tenn., formerly Paducah, 
Ky., who advertises poultry in some 
papers—not with The R. N.-Y. He 
makes no reply to inquiries about it; and 
those interested may form their own 
conclusions. 
I bought 200 shares of Uncle Sam Oil 
stock, which promised to pay such big divi¬ 
dends, I received two chock’s for dividends, 
but both were not payable for several 
months after date, and the last was never 
paid. Now I am told that if I don't pay an 
assessment of 4 per ceat on each share 1 
shall forfeit my stock. Can this be true, 
when the stock is fully paid up and non¬ 
assessable? What would you advise about 
paying this assessment? I paid $20 per 
share for the stock which was advertised 
in most of the newspapers and some farm 
papers, too. c. H. b. 
New Jersey. 
This is one of the stocks we ad¬ 
vised our people to leave alone. It will 
be remembered that the secretary 
threatened to sue us for libel on ac¬ 
count of the advice. Later we reported 
the failure of the company. If the stock 
is non-assessable and fully paid up, this 
stockholder will not forfeit his stock by 
refusing to pay further dividends. But 
even if he did forfeit the stock, he might 
better do so than put more money into 
it. The more you put in, the more you 
lose. 
Here is what a Pennsylvania house¬ 
keeper says about the Cook Book: 
Yesterday afternoon the Cook Book, your 
gift, came ,n. I look the evening, from 
after supper until 1ft o’clock, to examine it, 
and am free to say that not in many years, 
and among more than a hundred recipe 
books, have I found one that so pleases 
me as dops this one. It is so practical and 
so common sense. Not a lot of recipes that 
can be followed if you live in the city and 
can run to the store next door or in the 
next, block and buy all the tinned meats or 
poultry, refrigerator fruits of other lands, 
the highly seasoned condiments, the pre¬ 
pared breads and all the other cooked or 
half-cooked foods, to which city dwellers 
are forced to educate their tastes, but a 
book of sensible, reasonable recipes which 
followed by an average farmer's wife who 
has access to all the good things, animal or 
vegetable, produced on a I.ebanon County, 
Pa., farm, where I live, will produce only 
such dishes as will build up the body, ’in¬ 
vigorate the brain, strengthen the will, and 
at the same time be palatable and attractive 
to the eye. This is the opinion of a woman 
who learned to cook more than 50 years 
ago and who, no matter what other things 
she may have been doing during these years, 
never for a week lifted her hand from the 
kitchen or turnd her back upon it. In the 
name of your many, many women readers 
I thank you for this cook book. s. E. p. 
Pennsylvania. 
Will you ask some of your good cooks 
to recommend a good cook book? The 
kind for a fellow who doesn't know how to 
cook a thing. subscriber. 
Arkansas. 
We think the new Rural Cook Book 
will supply this want. It is sent free 
and post paid with each yearly subscrip¬ 
tion to The R. N.-Y. for 1908. They 
go out every day to the renewals re¬ 
ceived for the day. When you get one, 
why not mention it to your neighbors?
