The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
for fat, hot sparks 
Outside, batteries have 
much the same ap¬ 
pearance. But inside 
—what a tremendous dif¬ 
ference there is l That’s 
the reason for the ex¬ 
ceptional performance 
records of French Dry 
Batteries. 
Everything that goes 
into them, from the 
zinc casings to the car¬ 
bon pencils, is scientifi¬ 
cally selected for this 
one specific purpose— 
to give faty hot sparks 
for the longest time. 
Consequently, French 
Dry Batteries give 
ignition service vastly 
superior to the ordi¬ 
nary. 
For ignition work 
especially, and for all 
other dry battery uses, 
it is a decided advan¬ 
tage to install French 
Dry Batteries. They 
are acknowledged bet¬ 
ter batteries—yet cost 
no more. Your dealer 
has them — in the 
familiar blue carton. 
Ray-O-Spark 
Multiple Battery 
For tractors, ga9 engines, and every 
ignition work where you need four or 
more dry cells. Ray-O-Spark Multi¬ 
ple Batteries are made up of four 
French Dry Batteries, properly con¬ 
nected, producing six volts, packed 
firmly and sealed tight. Convenient 
to handle, economical to use, only two 
connections to wire up to, weather¬ 
proof. Avoid all the common battery 
troubles. Most leading dealers have 
them. Or write us.

N O more winters with fuel-wasting, mussy, unsanitary stoves. Real 
heating comfort guaranteed, big money saved on fuel, and moist, 
healthful, warm air in every room upstairs and down. 
All this when you install the Mueller because three, big, exclusive features, the “Big 
3”, insure perfect heating through one register. No other pipeless furnace has this 
same combination of construction features. Note them carefully.

1. Large and Properly Proportioned Register Face —Insures delivery of 
big volume of warm, moist air and rapid distribution of heat to every room in house. 
2. Spacious, Unobstructed Air 
Passages —Permit withdrawal of large 
volume of cool air from rooms while de¬ 
livering an equally large volume of 
warm air into them. 
3. Vast and Scientifically De¬ 
signed Heating Surface —Insures 
full benefit from fuel burned. Prevents 
hard firing, over-heated castings and 
big fuel waste. 
Buffalo Markets 
The situation is still influenced by the 
big storm, so that hay and potatoes are 
up slightly on account of the failure of 
supplies, and Southern-grown vegetables 
have failed to continue downward from 
the cutting off of trains. Eggs did drop 
slightly in spite of the cold, but as a rule 
the prices of a week ago have prevailed.

Broom Corn and Homemade Brooms 
In response to a recent inquiry, one 
can grow broom corn where he grows 
ordinary corn: the better the ground, the 
longer the whisk. It ripens in 90 to 160 
days. In the Fall, when seed begins to 
harden, break it over on the stalk six 
inches from the whisk. When dry out 
and store in dry shed and scrape seeds 
off. It is then ready t<> be made into 
brooms. I grew whisk 18 to 22 in. long 
the past season. Every farmer should 
grow broom corn, and any farmer cau 
make the brooms. It saves money by 
outside doors to brush snow and mud 
from your feet. One cau use them in 
barn or stable to clean up buildings.
