lb* RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Strictly ALL-Wool 
For 50 years we have made fine all-wool 
men’s suitings and sold them to the largest 
clothing makers in the country. 
Frankly, we have felt there was something eco¬ 
nomically wrong when we regularly found suits 
made from our own fabrics selling in stores for $50 
to $70. 
We reasoned, why not make our own cloth out¬ 
put into tailored suits and sell direct to the wear¬ 
er. The price could be ever so much lower because 
we need ask no more than our regular manufac¬ 
turing price on the cloth, plus the actual cost of 
tailoring. 
That’s our story — and its worth $25 to $40 sav¬ 
ing to any man, plus the satisfaction of a tailored- 
to-measure garment. 
WE SEND YOU THE

From an Up-State Farmer 
Queer Ideas. —Queer what ideas some 
folks have about the work of the farmer 
and the things that will fit a fellow to do 
that kind of business. Just now I am 
thinking of a family downtown who are 
anxious to get out on a farm somewhere. 
There are a father, never any too well, 
a mother, and some boys, of one of which 
little was expected, according to the story 
of the mother; but when somebody asked 
who would do the work of the farm, the 
mother declared that there was one of the 
boys who in her opinion was just cut out 
to be a farmer. “Why,” she declared 
with enthusiasm, “he ran clear from such 
and such a street the other day to some¬ 
where else, and never stopped once.” 
Therefore it ought not to be questioned 
that he surely would make a big fanner. 
Don’t you think he would? Wouldn’t lie 
be a fine addition to the hard-handed 
farmers of your neighborhood? 
Hold On a Minute. —If you are think¬ 
ing of coining out on the farm to make 
a living and to do a life work, just stop 
a minute and listen to the advice of a 
man who has been the whole length of 
the road. If you and the boys have a 
good job and know your business, and if 
you have no other qualifications for farm¬ 
ing than you can run a mile and a half 
at a spurt, don’t come. Stay where you 
are and put the very best there is in you 
into the things you are doing. 
The Work of the Farmer.— Because 
farming is one of the most exacting things 
any man can do, or woman, either, it 
calls for ability to do something more 
than run a race, good as that may he at 
times. It needs good common sense, a 
great love for the business and a degree 
of knowledge about growing crops that 
would be surprising to many city folks if 
they took the trouble to look into it a 
little. There are many fine things about 
farming, as every good farmer knows. 
But growing crops and making a liviug 
without downright steady, hard work is 
not one of them. The sooner some people 
of the city get that out of their heads the 
better. 
Separating Max and Wife. —You 
would not expect one little chap, and he, 
too, the dearest little man in the world, 
could do anything that could separate his 
father and mother, would you? And yet 
that is what our little grandson has done 
this past Spring. You see. he came home 
from school one day, tired and languid. 
Next day the doctor came and said the 
poor little man had scarlet fever. Then 
there was a hustling in the home. The 
mother had had the disease in childhood, 
but the father and the hired man never 
had had it. Before night that day the 
fateful sign hung on the door, the mother 
and the sick boy were shut in together, 
and that, too, for four long weeks, while 
the father and the hired man went up the 
road with a bundle under their arms, to 
stay in the old Red House till the quaran¬ 
tine should be lifted. 
No Fun in It.— If you never have 
tried it, let me tell you there is no fun 
in that sort of thing. The only thing the 
father could do when he wanted to see 
his wife and the little boy was to stand 
on the porch and look in at the window. 
Often, I know, he went away with a tug 
at his heart, because scarlet fever is a 
treacherous disease and the issue always 
in doubt. But the good care and the 
faithfulness of the mother, together with 
the skill of the doctor, pulled the little 
one through, and now they are all at home 
again. It was a joyous homecoming, too, 
et me tell you. Nobody wants any more 
experience of that kind. 
When a Feller Needs a Friend.— 
Always there is a sunny side to every 
cloud; and that was the case when the 
father and hired man were shut out. The 
nearest neighbor showed himself neigh¬ 
borly. as he had done many times before, 
and the exiled father did not lack for a 
bed during the period of his stay away 
from home. They talk about hospitality 
being a dead aud gone thing among 
farmers. No such thing! The hearts 
of the farmer folks are all right, and I 
know it. Never were they more quick to 
recognize a need or more ready to do 
their best to meet it. E. L. v.

Finding a Little Child 
You were kind enough to write to me 
about advertising in The R. N.-Y. for a 
child for adoption. Only one answer 
came in response to the advertisement, 
rather a pathetic one, hut the child was 
too old. So we followed your advice 
about asking our friends, and in that way 
have found just what we wanted. The 
little girl has been with us nearly a year 
now, and we have legally adopted her. 
Her resemblance to our family is remark¬ 
able, and she is just like our own. Her 
one surviving parent gave her up through 
a third party and has no idea where she 
is. MRS. B. H. 
When one has fully decided that it is 
desirable to adopt a child our advice is 
to make the want known first through the 
nearest channel for information. Tell 
your friends, speak of it in the church, 
at clubs, or any organization you may 
belong to. You will be surprised to learn 
how fast the news about your desire will 
spread, and almost before you know it 
you will learn of some little child in need 
of a home. You are wise in wiping out, 
ns far as possible, all connection with the 
child’s parents. Our advice is to forget 
them, if possible.
