THE RURA.R NEW-YORKER 
February 1, 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
It always pays to tell our people 
the exact facts. Our December sub¬ 
scription receipts were ahead of any 
previous year; but the first few 
days of January for some reason or 
other showed a falling off, not so much, 
but yet a falling behind last year. We 
mentioned it, and promptly up went the 
records. As I write on January 20 the 
increase for the day is $99.97. Yes¬ 
terday it was $155.73; and so it has 
been running for the last two weeks. 
If it continues to the last of the month, 
as it promises to do, the month will be 
our biggest January. We cannot thank 
each one personally who contributed to 
this result, but we take this means of 
public acknowledgement, and as the 
weeks go on into the year, we shall try 
to make the paper reflect and merit the 
strong, earnest support which it is re¬ 
ceiving from farmers in every section 
of the country. 
It is not long since that the Farmers’ 
Co-operative Harvesting Machine Co. 
of America, Springfield, O., were trying 
to sell stock to farmers and telling 
them the great advantages of co-opera¬ 
tion. We told farmers at the time to 
leave it alone. The Ohio Farmer did 
the same thing, and they put up the 
usual bluff of a libel suit. We gave the 
facts of their going into the hands of a 
receiver some time ago. The latest is 
notice of an attachment by a workman 
to recover judgment of $288.40 for labor 
performed. The constable is now in 
possession of the plant. 
Do you know anything of the White 
Clover Farms Co., 102 East 80th street, New 
York? Are they reliable? They seem to be 
unable to pay for milk shipped them from 
here. They are behind over two months. 
The dairymen formed a committee, hut the 
company pay no attention to them. 
New York. milkman. 
This is a reincorporation of several 
milk concerns. A $60,000 mortgage is 
filed against property held by tfiem in 
Dutchess County, and in December last 
a judgment was filed against them in 
favor of a bank in Delaware Cbunty. 
They refuse to give any detail as to 
responsibility and in want of a satis¬ 
factory statement caution would be 
recommended. 
How will I go about it to ascertain 
whether title to farm is all right when 
buying? w. M. j. 
New York. 
The titles to farms and incumbrances 
are recorded in the county clerk’s 
office. But if the party selling has any 
judgments recorded against him, or 
back taxes, it is all chargeable against 
the farm. The only safe way is to em¬ 
ploy a reliable attorney, and he will 
search all the records and secure you a 
clear and safe title. This is a simple 
matter in the country, where records are 
few. The cost is seldom more than $3 
to $5. In the large cities the work is 
more complicated and the cost frequent¬ 
ly runs into several hundred dollars. I 
recently paid $150 for searching title to 
a lot 50x100 feet. 
I made claim to railroad last Spring for 
damage to shipment of plants caused by 
delay of seven weeks on road. The only 
satisfaction I can get is copies of letters 
claim agent writes to another railroad, urg¬ 
ing a return of papers, etc. What is limit 
of lime railroads are allowed for adjusting 
claims, and how may I proceed to collect? 
Virginia. G. b. k. 
There is absolutely no limit to the 
delays made by railroads in such cases, 
if left to themselves. The usual policy 
is to tire the complainant out so that 
he will drop it. The last case we had, 
after waiting reasonable time, I wrote 
them that unless the claim was settled 
within 10 days I would sue it. At the 
end of 30 days I sent my attorney in¬ 
structions to give them one rtotice and 
then sue without further ado. When 
the railroad got this information they 
begged for more time; but when they 
found out we were in earnest they sent 
a check. 
About the first of November I received 
letters and cards from the commission mer¬ 
chants, Kassoffl & Son, 30 Jay street, New 
York, promising fancy prices and prompt 
returns for eggs. November 15 I shipped 
them one 30-dozen case, for which I re¬ 
ceived returns very promptly, receiving 
check netiing me $13.61. On November 23 
I shipped them a second case of the same 
quality of eggs, gathered from the same 
fiock, strictly newly laid. Up to the present 
date, December 25, I have not been able 
to get any returns. If you can do anything 
to assist in collecting the value of this 
case of eggs I will be greatly obliged. 
New York. H. e. b. 
When ve received the above letter we 
called on the commission house and 
found they yet had the eggs. We sug¬ 
gested t it we would get another house 
to handle them, but they sold the eggs 
the following day and returned $6.77 net 
for them. Later the shipper writes us: 
I wish to thank you for the favor rend¬ 
ered in getting returns from the case of 
eggs with Kassoff & Son, of 30 Jay street, 
as I do not think they would ever have 
done anything about it for me. I think 
it was something more than stupid on their 
part or why did they make such prompt 
sale of the' first case shipped the week be¬ 
fore, which netted me $13.61? I shipped 
four cases from the time they had that one 
until December 13, all of which netted 
me over $13 per case. So it is not a case 
of the quality of the eggs or the condition 
of the market, and all eggs I ship are from 
the same flock of hens. h. e. b. 
New York. 
We make no speculation on this case. 
We content ourselves with a plain re¬ 
cital of the facts. j. j. d.
