THE RURA.L NEW-YORKER 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
Can you tell me anything about the 
Nome Gold Dredging and Power Co., 47 Ex¬ 
change Place, New York? There is an arti¬ 
cle in the December number of the Ited 
Book magazine, by Francis P. Bent, telling 
about the wonders in the land of gold. I 
should like to invest in something safe and 
shall be thankful for any information you 
can give me. e. 
If you want to invest in safe things 
do not touch gold mining stocks, for 99 
per cent of them are pure fakes; or so 
much over-capitalized that it all amounts 
to the same thing. Leave such things 
alone. 
I wish to take up the study of veterinary 
science at home, and can you recommend 
some good reliable veterinary correspond¬ 
ence school? I have a circular from the 
Ontario Veterinary Correspondence School 
at London, Canada. Can you give me any 
information concerning the school? 
New York. i. b. b. 
We know no reliable veterinary school 
that attempts to teach the science by 
mail. Such a course could hardly be 
satisfactory from the nature of the work. 
We refused the advertising of the Can¬ 
ada concern 10 years ago, and shall con¬ 
tinue to do so. We cannot recommend 
it. 
I am sending you a copy of a circular 
received by users of the Economy separator 
made by Sears & Roebuck Co. There are 
a number of these machines used about 
here, and we do not know what to do. | 
Must we stop using them? The makers 
say we are not in danger of any trouble, 
and we do not know who to believe. If 
you can help us out of our dilemma by tell¬ 
ing us what we ought to do about it we 
shall be very thankful. G. b. a. 
The circular referred to is the an¬ 
nouncement of an injunction issued 
by the court against Sears, Roe¬ 
buck & Co., of Chicago, for in¬ 
fringement of patents used in the 
Economy cream separator, the patents 
being held jointly by the Empire Cream 
Separator Company and the Vermont 
Farm Machine Company. By the de¬ 
cision Sears, Roebuck & Co. are for¬ 
bidden to continue the use of these in¬ 
fringements, and provision is also made 
in the decree for the injured parties to 
recover damages for the losses they 
have sustained by reason of the in¬ 
fringements. The farmers who are 
using these machines are not included in 
the decree of the court, but technically 
the continued use of the machines would 
leave them liable to proceedings, in case 
adjustment were not made between the 
manufacturers concerned. In this case, 
however, as in most others of the kind, 
the farmer need have little fear of an¬ 
noyance from the continued use of his 
machine. An accounting will undoubt¬ 
edly be made by Sears, Roebuck & Co. 
for the number of machines sold under 
the infringement, and satisfactory ad¬ 
justment will be made either by the 
parties themselves or by the courts, and 
with such an adjustment the farmer 
using the machine will have no part and 
no concern. The owners of the patents 
are reliable and conservative houses, 
doing a large business with farmers all 
over the country, and they will not be 
disposed to interfere with the innocent 
purchasers of these machines if their in¬ 
terests and rights can be otherwise ad¬ 
justed and protected, as we believe they 
can and will be in this case. Sears, 
Roebuck & Co. write that they are not 
now using the infringement against 
which the decree has been issued, and 
that they will protect their customers in 
every instance. We have had several 
inquiries from farmers about this mat¬ 
ter, indicating some concern as to the 
use of the machines. Hence this effort 
at an analysis of the situation. We ad¬ 
vise farmers not to be alarmed at the 
receipt of the notices, and to go on 
using their machines as if nothing had 
happened. 
As will he seen by enclosed clippings, the 
doctors disagree. Will The R. N.-Y. say 
something for or against lliem? If so. I 
shall feel as if I could believe or disbe¬ 
lieve in the “pound-a-minute” concern, at 
least. b. t. p. 
New York. 
No wonder this man is puzzled by the 
failure of the doctors to agree. The 
subject is a so-called “Pound-a-Minute- 
Churn.” One of the circulars enclosed 
is a copy of a letter from one of the 
editors of The Farm Journal, on their 
letter heads, and addressed to the pub¬ 
lisher praising the churn in the strong¬ 
est way. The other enclosure is a clip¬ 
ping from Hoard’s Dairyman, condemn¬ 
ing it in the strongest terms. We must 
decide with Hoard’s Dairyman. It has 
also been called the “king of butt er- 
nakers” and the “three-minute churn.” 
It is of course a fake, and we are sur¬ 
prised that they have succeeded in get¬ 
ting such an endorsement from The 
Farm Journal. Somebody has been 
caught napping. The thing has been 
exposed repeatedly for several years. 
Don’t touch it. 
Enclosed please find $1.30 check for 
renewal of your paper; also list of 
three trial subscribers for 10 weeks. 
I am very much pleased with the way 
you handle the swindlers and humbugs that 
advertise in so many papers and live on the 
farmers’ hard-earned money; also the clean 
upright way in which you conduct your 
paper and business. Wishing you much 
merited success. E. s. n. 
Connecticut. 
We make no secret of the fact that 
we like letters of that kind and appre¬ 
ciate them. The sentiment in the closing 
lines of the letter is emphasized in the 
check referred to in the first sentence. 
When a man renews his own subscrip¬ 
tion and adds 30 cents of his own 
money to help make the paper known 
to his neighbors, he gives pretty good 
evidence of sincerity for anything that 
be says further on. And the number of 
such letters and remittances received 
during the past two or three months 
runs into the thousands. We do not ask 
every friend to spend his own money in 
this way to send the 10 weeks subscrip¬ 
tions; but we do ask them one and all 
to interest new readers in these 10-week 
subscriptions. Just settle on one man 
that you will get. Then get him.
