‘The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Do You Know- 
STANDARD PRACTICE 
The use of Timken Tapered Roller 
Bearings at points of hard service 
in the great majority of automotive 
vehicles is proof of leadership estab¬ 
lished on the tapered principle of 
design, quality of manufacture, per¬ 
formance on the road, and service to 
the automotive industry. 
that the great majority of tractor-owning farmers 
are more than satisfied with their invest¬ 
ment? 
that investigations show that while but one-third 
of the farmers who buy tractors expect them 
to speed up their plowing, almost twice as 
many report that faster plowing is the best 
thing the tractor gives them? 
that this is just another way of saying that the 
tractor has demonstrated its reliability 
to the men who have had faith in it? 
that this leads right up to the same conclusion 
as always, which is that tractor reliability 
must depend greatly on good bearings? 
that the reliability of Timken Tapered Rol¬ 
ler Bearings is due as much to their 
tapered design, which permits of adjust¬ 
ment if necessary, as it is to their quality 
of material and manufacture?

A Friend of the Farmer 
Senator .Tames Towner of the Twenty- 
eighth Senatorial District, comprising 
Putnam, Dutchess and Columbia Coun¬ 
ties, is again a candidate to succeed him¬ 
self in the State Senate. Senator 
Towner has been one of the staunchest 
friends of the farmer in the Senate. n e 
introduced and put through the law that 
requires milk dealers to supply duplicate 
samples of milk to determine fat tost 
and provides that any dairyman may de¬ 
mand a choice of the samples and send 
it to the State Agricultural College for 
test free of cost. This is one of the best 
of our dairy laws. It has probably saved 
more money directly to the dairy farmer 
than any other law on the books, it j. ; 
not so much that large numbers of sam 
pies are sent to Cornell. The fact that 
the samples are kept, and may be tested 
at any time, has had an effect on the 
records, and it is a fact that complaints 
are less frequent than formerly, and the 
tests are better. The Senator also fought 
hard for the Towner bill, which lie in¬ 
troduced, to authorize the Department 
of Goods and Markets to demonstrate the 
cost of milk distribution in the city of 
New York. The milk trust, through Al¬ 
bany.influences,succeeded in defeating the 
lull in the Senate. lie was on the right 
side of both the school law and the day¬ 
light saving law; in short, he has always 
been on the right side of every bill af¬ 
fecting agriculture, and while we have 
no concern in the politics of his district, 
we have no hesitancy in saying that when 
farmers find a friend like Senator Towner 
in the Senate, they serve their own best 
interests, without regard to polities, to 
keep him there. 
Facts About France 
It seems evident from all we can learn 
that France is recovering from the effects 
of the war more rapidly than other 
European nations. The French people 
are. and ever have been naturally thrifty, 
and since the French Revolution the 
land has been cut up largely into small 
farms. These French farmers have been 
the dominate factor in government. Just 
before the war the population of France 
was 3 1 , 1 0 < ,000. During the fighting 
1,364,000 were killed, 3,000,000 wounded 
and 740,000 of these mutilated so that 
part of their labor is lost to the nation. 
Xo other nation suffered so severely. 
During the war 2,728,000 people were 
driven from their homes, of school houses 
6.44." were destroyed, but 5,345 have been 
rebuilt. Of dwelling houses 574,777 were 
destroyed while 0,025,000 acres of land 
were torn up by shell fire. The Ger¬ 
mans drove away or killed 523,000 cattle, 
307,000 horses and 405,000 sheep and 
goats. Railroads, canals and roads were 
torn up and destroyed, and the whole of 
Northern France left in frightful disorder. 
Yet the French people are not discouraged

Roses Untrue to Name 
I bought last Spring from a reliable 
Brooklyn department store six varieties 
of rose bushes. They proved to be of one 
kind, although plainly marked as I had 
ordered. Later I bought rose bushes from 
a reliable rose grower in Ohio, and not 
all of these have proved true, according 
to their own description. What are my 
rights in this matter? A. H. w.

Of course this is a 
principle is the same 
dollars were involved 
or dealer guarantees to supply a certain 
| variety and the customer pays for tlic 
goods, he has a clear right to receive that 
variety and no substitute. It is the nur¬ 
seryman’s plain duty to make good ou 
such “misfits,” since it is the result of his 
blunders or worse. In case the mistake 
is promptly discovered the replacing the 
variety will generally be accepted as suf¬ 
ficient. Where some years elapse before 
the variety fruits the nurseryman should 
not only make good, hut pay reasonable 
damages. This seems so clear and right 
to us that we cannot understand why 
some of the nurserymen haggle and delay, 
and have to be forced into a settlement 
which one would think an honorable mau 
would recognize at once was just. R 
any customer on this earth has a right to 
prompt and fair recompense it is the man 
or woman who pays money for a plant or 
tree and sees it grow up into a "misfit
