THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
The following letter just received 
from Fayetteville, N. Y., is suggestive 
as a home estimate of what. Mr. Daw- 
ley might be capable of doing: 
It lias occurred to me, and I wish to sug¬ 
gest it to you, that Dawley or his attorney 
may have procured copies of The It. N.-Y. 
and marked and mailed them to the jury 
list, as mentioned in The Country Gentle¬ 
men, and also reported in this vicinity. 
Fayetteville, N. Y. a friend. 
While our friend’s estimate of what 
his neighbor might be entirely capable 
of doing may be fully justified, we 
do not think it practical. In the first 
place, there is no way they could get 
any number of extra copies of the 
paper, except to pick them up from reg¬ 
ular subscribers after they had been 
read, and if that were undertaken it 
would not be long before we would 
have heard of it. The paper has too 
many loyal friends for a scheme of that 
kind to work successfully. We simply 
do not believe that any material num¬ 
ber of the jury list of Onondaga County 
have received copies of the paper during 
this cattle discussion, except those who 
are regular subscribers. At no time in 
10 years have we printed or mailed so 
few sample copies as during the past 
year. It is simply one of the Dawley 
lies manufactured out of whole cloth, 
but it shows how resourceful they are 
in expedients to get away from the 
main question—the integrity of registry 
cattle records. Dawley would no doubt 
tell anything to attract attention from 
his crooked cattle records, and Tucker 
will evidently print anything Dawley 
tells him. 
The jury list simply did not receive 
sample copies of the paper as alleged 
in this Dawley canard. If they had, the 
affidavits demanded by the court to sub¬ 
stantiate the assertion would have been 
furnished. 
The following voluntary letter from 
the editor of Wallace’s Farmer is in 
striking contrast with the policy of Mr. 
Tucker of The Country Gentleman: 
Des Moines, la., March 31, 1908. 
Governor Charles E. Hughes, Albany, N. Y. 
Dear Sir: I have been watching with 
very great interest the charges made by 
Mr. Coilingwood of The Rural New-Yorker 
and others against Mr. Dawley. If these 
charges are true, Mr. Dawley certainly is 
not fit for any position requiring integrity 
of character, for tills charge of selling grade 
stock for purebred is that of obtaining money 
under false pretenses. It goes to the very 
vitals of stock farming. I happen to know 
that Mr. Coilingwood is a very earnest, sin¬ 
cere man, and I always expect to see him 
on the right side of all public questions. 
I am writing this without his solicitation 
or knowledge, and solely because of my in¬ 
terest in the development of agriculture and 
especially stock breeding. Certainly this 
matter demands the fullest and most, careful 
investigation. The interest I feel in these 
matters not merely in the West but through¬ 
out the United States is my reason for 
troubling you with this letter. Very truly 
yours, HENRY WALLACE. 
Mr. Wallace is one of the best-known 
editors of the Middle West, and he pub¬ 
lishes one of the cleanest and best agri¬ 
cultural and live stock papers in the 
country. Few men are better qualified 
to speak for farmers and live stock in¬ 
terests, not only because of his intimate 
relations with them, but also because of 
the full confidence placed in him by the 
farmers and breeders of the West, and 
to no small degree of the whole country. 
Mr. Wallace cannot boast that he edits 
the oldest farm paper. He started it 
himself, and developed it to a circulation 
easily three or four times that of Mr. 
Tucker’s paper. It is a personal achieve¬ 
ment of which any man may well be 
proud. Contrast his position with Mr. 
Tucker’s cynical abuse of everyone who 
insists on having the truth told about this 
cattle case and his apology for Daw- 
ley’s crooked cattle records. It is 
humiliating to think that Governor 
Hughes can get more reliable informa¬ 
tion as to the sentiments of New 
York State farmers from a farm editor 
of the West than from one in his own 
city, but candor compels the admission. 
Can you give me any information as to 
the responsibility of the National Mining 
and Leasing Company? They have an offlee 
at 211 North avenue, Plainfield, N. J. Would 
you advise taking stock in this company as 
a good, safe investment? w. w. 
New Jersey. 
No; we would not advise anything of 
the kind. 
We have before us some letters front 
one Otto G. Tague, Lima, O., to a New 
England farmer which are classics in 
their way. They picture the profits to 
be made in the oil business in general, 
and in a syndicate of oil stocks which 
Mr. Tague was engineering in partic¬ 
ular. The letters were so convincing 
that the farmer sent on his hundred dol¬ 
lars. That was now nearly three years 
ago, but the profits have not shown up 
yet, and he no longer takes the pains to 
reply to letters. If you are favored 
with his letters or circulars, which take 
the form of a regular paper, do not 
hurry off any remittances to him in the 
fear that if delayed you lose an oppor¬ 
tunity. On second thought he will take 
your money any time. By the way, the 
New England farmer was encouraged to 
make the investment because he saw the 
advertisement in a religious paper that 
he used to think was about right, and he 
adds: “If The R. _ N.-Y. had been 
visiting me at that time I should not 
have dropped that cash.” 
A farmer from the State of Connec¬ 
ticut sends us a letter and circular of 
the Virginia Nail Company, promising 
big profits for the company, and inci¬ 
dentally offering some of its stock for 
sale as investments. The prospects for 
the company may be all that is claimed 
for them, but there is no information 
that would justify an investment in its 
stock. 
The Manhattan Co-operative Realty 
Co., 7 West 42d street, New York, about 
which inquiries have been made, is re¬ 
ported in need of funds, and as making 
urgent requests of stockholders to send 
their $1 a share for which debenture 
certificates are issued, is one of the 
many cases where we could not recom¬ 
mend investment. 
If I liavc my place in a real estate man’s 
hands and put it in anolher real esrate 
man's hands without withdrawing it from 
(lie first one, and it is sold, can they both 
get a per cent for soiling? In other words, 
if I have a piece of property in two or 
more real estate men's hands and one sells 
it, can they all claim a commission? 
New York. g. p. 
No matter how many agents have the 
property on their books, only the one 
who sells it is entitled to a commission, 
and if you sell it yourself to a customer 
not sent to you by the agent you do not 
have to pay commissions to any of 
them. If, however, you make a special 
contract with an agent, and give him 
exclusive authority to sell the property 
for a definite time, then in that case he 
would be entitled to his commission no 
matter who sold it, but in want of such a 
contract, an agent has no case unless 
he is instrumental in making the sale. 
What do you know about M. S. Royer, 
of Coatcsvlllc, Ta.? The latter part of 
January I sent for their catalogue, after 
inquiring for an Irish water spaniel, and 
received same with a letter telling me they 
would upon receipt of $19 send such a dog. 
I forwarded the money and they acknowl¬ 
edged same, but have heard nothing since 
and can get no answer to inquiries.

We know that complaints of this kind 
have been frequent about Mr. Boyer for 
the last 15 years. We have persistently 
refused his advertising. We wrote him 
several times about this complaint, but 
get no reply. The best treatment for 
dealers of this type is to let them 
severely alone. 
If you know of anyone wishing copying 
done by a lady at home, please let me know, 
as I am very anxious to earn money in 
my spare time. c. v. Y. 
Massachusetts. 
We know no responsible house re¬ 
quiring work of this kind. There are 
several fake concerns who pretend to 
give work at home on one scheme or 
another, but they always require that 
you first send them money for material 
of some sort, and the sale of this ma¬ 
terial is the whole object with them. 
They never really pay for any work at 
home, and you seldom if ever hear 
from them after you send the remit¬ 
tance. 
Please find enclosed nine 10-weeks sub¬ 
scriptions. Send me some more envelopes, 
and also the most important —paste it to 
Dawley. Your paper is well spoken of 
by everyone. I got these nine in about an 
hour at a caucus. I carry the little en¬ 
velopes right with me and use a lot'of them. 
New York. w. d. ii. 
Certainly we send this good friend an 
extra lot of the little envelopes. These 
envelopes are simply convenient means 
of sending in a 10-weeks subscription 
and the 10 cents. We are glad to send 
them to anyone who will take the trouble 
to hand one to his neighbor as oppor¬ 
tunity is offered. Just intimate in some 
way to us that you will distribute them 
and we will send you the little envelopes. 
You may not have the success this friend 
had in getting nine orders an hour. You 
may want to do nothing more than sim¬ 
ply hand the envelope to a neighbor. 
Even this brings hundreds of new orders 
every week. j. j. d.
