(Continued from page 1222.) 
and as he had no change, I said: “Well, 
I want to help the Red Cross, so will 
let the money do two good deeds.” It did, 
hut in lessons. So in the morning as our 
guest was hurrying to .start on his jour¬ 
ney I asked him how much it would take 
to get to Clark’s Station. He very readily 
(we afterwards could remember) gave us 
the number of miles and said, “You can 
count it for yourself,” where upon I 
found it would c-ost .$.5.58, so I told him, 
as he was a total stranger and there 
were so many fakers I was going to give 
him $5 to help him, and how I intended 
to use it when I got it hack. I told 
him I was giving it to him upon his word 
and honor, and he replied, “Well, one 
can have all they possess taken from 
them but thank God I have my honor 
left; they can’t take that!” 
lie took our address oven before he 
knew I was going to give him money. 
We tried - in many ways to find some 
error, as I asked about many things he 
had told us before, hut it was the same 
story. I suppose it was told so many 
times he has it pat. But the cute thing 
about it all is I had an uncle and aunt 
who took mercy on the poor old man 
only last Fall, and they only live about 
four nvHes from us and he hoodwinked 
them out of $4, hut after being “stung,” 
they never said one word about the 
money given him, only lodging. Had 
they done so, I would I’eadily have 
thought he was the man and would had 
him sleeping in that place he despised so 
much in the city. Of course, "we see 
through it cleat’ly now. He claimed to 
be a soldier and went by the name of 
,Tohn Vanderhoff; told of the battles he 
was in, and gave general’s name, etc. 
At my aunt’s he was in flood in Ken¬ 
tucky and going to Toledo.

Farmer and Editor 
I don’t want to he without your pa¬ 
per because it dares to tell the truth 
about everything. I have made the I’e- 
mark that it is about the only paper 
a farmer ought to read. I took one of 
your issues to one of our editors, and let 
him read the piece about the school 
law and about the roads. I asked him 
what he thought about it. He said, 
“Well, Jim, it is all true.” I said, “Now 
you dare not print anything like that 
in your paper.” “Why?” “Why,” I said, 
“because you arc in the swim. You 
oijght to live here where I do and see 
all I do: you would have lots more to 
put in your paper.” .T. D.

you wonder that I have interest enough in

The pay is $2 per night, and I have $2,-

I would like to get another $1,000 in the 
same, then I think by the time I have

to quit. I think I shall have well done

Friends in the R. N.-Y. Family 
Here is a true incident from real life, 
showing how the people cf this world are 
strung together upon a slender thread. 
Two farmers with their wives .started 
out for a holiday. One lived in Maine, 
the other in Michigan, but in their travels 
they met upon a certain steamboat, and 
were thrown together for a day. They 
scraped acquaintance, as men will, but as 
usual with .strangers, there was a little 
coolness at first. As they stood talking, 
there happened to pass before them a 
woman with bright red hair. They 
both noticed her, and when she had 
passed out of earshot one said, as if 
thinking aloud, “She would go well 
with the Hope Farm Man’s collection of 
‘Red-heads.’ ” The other man looked up 
quickly, and said, “The Hope Farm 
man! Do you know him ?” 
“Why, who doesn’t know him? I 
have taken The R. N.-Y. for 10 years.” 
That was all the introduction they 
needed. They both called their wives, 
and they all sat down foi' a neighborly 
Flush Cows 
After Calving 
Protects Against Abortion 
and Barrenness 
Barrenness or Sterility, like Abortion, Re¬ 
tention of After-birth and Premature Birth, 
is nearly always caii.sed by infection of the 
reproductive organs by the germs of Con¬ 
tagious Abortion. Unless this Infection is 
promptly overcome by the use of a powerful 
but safe antiseptic, It may permanently 
affect the reproductive organs so that the 
cow will continually fail to stick. 
Every time a cow drops a calf—whether 
alive or dead—by premature birth or abort¬ 
ing, whether the after-birth Is retained or 
not, her reproductive organs should be 
flushed out, because that Is where the in¬ 
fection Is developing. 
B-K, the powerful nou-polsonous anti¬ 
septic, is sclentlflcally correct for this 
work. I’sed as a douche for the uterus. It 
quickly brings the after-birth, dissolves the 
slimy albuminous matter, kills the germs, 
stops discharges and controls the infection. 
B-K does not cause straining, but is sooth¬ 
ing and heals the tissues. 
Otlier germicides such as carbolic acid, 
cresol, Lugol’s solution, Iodine, etc., tend to 
Irritate, do not dissolve the slimy albumins, 
but tend to coagulate or thicken them, 
thereby preventing destruction of the germs 
and cleansing of the tissues. 
The remarkable germ-killing strength oX 
B-K Is plainly marked and guaranteed on 
every package. B-K contains no poison, acid 
nor oil. It Is safe and clean and easy to use. 
B-K may be nso<l freely in the drinking water. 
B-K Is convenient. Just add water as 
directed, and you have your treatment for 
calves, hulls and cows and also your dls- 
Infe'^tant for general use. 
B-K Is used so successfully by leading 
breeders that It Is now sold over the entire 
world and the demand for it has Increased 
r>it0'/c in three years. A well known breeder 
of registered stock says: 
“/ leant B-K for I 
know it ia doing good. 
Cows that have been bar¬ 
ren for more than a year 
are getting with calf." 
B-K Is sold by dairy 
and farm supply houses, 
druggists, general stores, 
etc., everywhere. Dealers 
wanted in every town.

visit. The fact that they all read The 
R. N.-Y’. was enough to bring them to¬ 
gether in friendly neighborhood feeling, 
and before they separated they had be¬ 
come warm friends, and ever since then 
have kept up their pleasant associations. 
The R. N.-Y’. goes everywhere, and it 
does not go in any stiff, perfunctory way, 
but comes into the farm home like an 
old friend, with all the privileges that 
go with that kind of friendship. We have 
numberless instances like the above lit¬ 
tle story, to show’ how strangers far 
from b(>me have become wai’m friends 
with personal ties to hold thorn to¬ 
gether, just as soon as they found that 
they were both member.s of the big R. 
N.-Y. family. 
Always on the Job 
There is a little history connected with 
this subscription which {night be of in¬ 
terest to yon. While travelling in this 
city I happened to stop in front of a 
store with whose manager I was well 
acquainted. Among the things exhibited 
in the show window was a circular as 
sent out by concerns in their advertising 
campaigns. I was surprised to find it 
to be of a fake exposed in The R. N.-Y. 
some time ago. My amazement bad 
reached its limit when I learned as I 
read it, that the manager of this store 
had accepted the agency for this car. 
That was enough, and steiiping inside, 
justified in my cause, I took no round¬ 
about way, but enlightened that man¬ 
ager directly and plainly. Of course he 
wanted to know where I had obtained 
my information, and next time I came 
around I was loaded Avith R. N.-Y’.’.s 
packed tight in binder. It dd not take long 
to convince him. and henceforth he 
need not be ashamed to appear in the 
human soeietv. as he is now a member 
of The R. N.-Y. family.

Soap for Hextrieice. —One of the 
most cheapest and most sati.sfaetory of 
dentifrices is plain uiiscented white soap. 
Use warm, .soft water, dipping the brush 
and nibbing it on the cake of .soap. Brush 
the teeth on the outside fii’st. both up 
and down, and crosswise, next on the 
cutting edges and lastly on the inside. 
Next, scrub the gums in the s'aine or¬ 
der, giving the tongue a quick, but 
thorough scrub at the last. If one is 
careful not to swallow during the 
process, and the mouth is rinsed imme¬ 
diately, then' is very little taste of soap. 
A thorough rimse with fresh water is 
all that is necessary to keep the brush 
.sweet and clean. D. M. n.
