We Back Our Guarantee 
Subscribers Reimbursed for Loss With Advertisers 
S OME time ago, Mr. Whoeler Kunkle 
of Dallas, Pa., answered an adver¬ 
tisement in the American Agricul¬ 
turist. The advertsement was of the 
Boston Mail Order Company, and at 
the time of its acceptance, under the 
old management, the firm was thought 
to be reliable. However, it went into 
bankmiptcy shortly after, and several 
claims for the loss of different amounts 
came into the Service Bureau. 
Although the new management of 
the magazine had not had any part in 
accepting the advertisement, we felt 
that the guarantee printed then, as 
now, shotild be interpreted in the 
strictest possible sense. We therefore 
sent Mr. Kunkle a check for $2.98 to 
cover his loss because of the failure of 
the Boston Mail Order House. 
We were onlv too glad to make good 
to our subscriber, the money loss he 
had incurred, and thought the matter 
ended there. However, Mr. Kunkle felt 
differently about it. He returned our 
check with the following letter: “En¬ 
closed please find $1.00, for which re¬ 
new my subscription for American 
Agriculturist for one year. Also find 
check which you sent me for Boston 
Mail Order account, as I cannot expect 
y()u people to pay other people’s debts. 
Kindly thanking you for past services.” 
As a matter of fact, we would have 
made good Mr. Kunkle’s loss even if it 
had been for a much greater amount, 
but under the circumstances we were 
glad to extend his subscription and to 
assure him that the services we had 
rendered were simply in accordance 
with our policy of standing behind our 
advertisements. 
The guarantee which we give, and 
which is printed on another page of 
the magazine, reads as follows: “The' 
American Agricuturist accepts only ad¬ 
vertising which it believes to be thor¬ 
oughly honest. We positively guar¬ 
antee to our readers fair and honest 
treatment in dealing with our adver¬ 
tisers. We guarantee to refund the 
price of goods purchased by our sub¬ 
scribers from any advertiser who fails 
to make good when the article pur¬ 
chased is found not to be as advertised. 
To benefit by this guarantee subscrib¬ 
ers must say: ‘I saw your ad in the 
American Agriculturist when ordering 
from our advertisers.’ ” 
Readers of the American Agricul¬ 
turist need have no fear in taking this 
guarantee at its face value. 
MORE “GUESS-WORK GLASSES” 
“I am very grateful for the assis¬ 
tance you gave me. I don’t believe I 
would have received anything if it had 
not been for you.” 
It was thus that Mrs. L. H. M. of 
Grand Valley, Pa., wrote us when she 
received a check for $5.49 from a spec¬ 
tacle house in Chicago. We told Mrs. 
M. when she put the case in our hands 
that we had frequently warned our 
readers to have nothing to do with these 
houses, which pretend to be able to sup¬ 
ply correct glasses by mail. Although 
they urged Mrs. M. to send another 
order, she was glad enough to get her 
money, and did not take up the sug¬ 
gestion that she send it back for an¬ 
other pair of “guess-work glasses.” 
LOOK OUT FOR THIS MAN! 
A general warning which readers in 
Ohio iftay especially take to heart has 
just been issued by the International 
Magazine Company, which publishes 
Good Housekeeping. A young man of 
about 25 years old, who is a smooth 
talker and usualy represents himself 
as a medical student, is canvassing for 
subscriptions to the magazine and of¬ 
fering a premium of six pieces of Pyrex 
Ware, The agent in question, who uses 
the names of Thompson, McGuire, Saw- 
don or Sandow and Stone, give an ofii- 
cial receipt for a three-dollar subscrip¬ 
tion, and that is the last heard of him. 
Sometimes this man works in col¬ 
laboration with a partner, and some¬ 
times he goes it alone. In any case, he 
has no authority to offer the magazine 
either with or without the premium. 
One of our readers was recently taken 
in by this swindler, and upon reporting 
the case to _ the district manager of 
the International Magazine Company, 
we learn that they had sent out a poster 
offering a reward of $50 for the arrest 
and conviction of this man. 
If he canvasses your neighborhood, 
report immediately to your police de¬ 
partment, and notify the agency bureau 
of the International Magazine Company, 
119 West 40th Street, New York City. 
THE CHECK CAME PROMPTLY 
A check for $29.49 closed the case of 
Mr. Philip Papke, Fillmore, N. Y., 
against a mail-order company in Min¬ 
nesota. Mr. Papke had waited a rea¬ 
sonable time after sending his order 
and then wrote the company twice be¬ 
fore receiving any return with a re¬ 
quest for a duplicate order. His check 
was returned as having been paid, but 
the order never came, nor did he hear 
anything further from them. Early in 
January, Mr. Papke turned the case 
over to the Service Bureau of American 
Agrculturist, and the company report¬ 
ed that the order had been shipped, but 
was doubtless lost in the mail. They 
enclosed a check for the full amount 
of the order, and apologized for any 
inconvenience which had been caused. 
Both the mail-order company and Mr. 
Papke thanked the Service Bureau for 
helping straighten the matter out. 
' Pruning the Pear 
(Continued from page ,^1) 
branches will then form an outward 
position while the branches higher up 
will form an upward' growth which 
after the tree reaches full size must be 
kept cut back in order to prevent the 
tree from growing too tall. 
Such varieties as Winter Neles, and 
the Lawrence have a tendency to de¬ 
velop the natural form. This form of 
development means a selection of three 
gr four scaffold limbs and then allowing 
tne tree to develop as it will with little 
consideration of shape or form. Such 
trees are usually misshapen, weak at 
the crotches, break down early, form 
too compact heads, and develop much, 
but inferior fruit. On the other hand, 
if the tree has been so neglected it 
may be pruned, the fruit-bearing 
branches, to a limited degree, selected 
and the head opened up to light and air 
one may expect a fair return of fruit. 
In shaping the vase form of pear 
tree the straight one year old shoot 
should be cut back to from 18 to 24 
inches from the ground. After the 
new or secondary shoots are well form¬ 
ed, three main limbs should be selected 
and all others removed. The three 
limbs then forming an inverted tripod 
should be cut back to about 18 or 20 
inches from the crotch. If dwarf trees 
are so developed their limbs should be 
cut back to about 12 inches from the 
crotch. Only the buds on the upper 
five or seven inches of these three limbs 
should be allowed to develop. The fol¬ 
lowing spring, select two of the most 
vigorous sprouts from each limb and 
remove all the others. These should 
now be pruned back leaving 12 or 18 
inches of growth from the point where 
the three limbs were last pruned. This 
operation is repeated until the desired 
head and height are formed. 
Where the pear orchards are inter¬ 
cropped with currants or gooseberries 
or some other fruit or even vegetables, 
the plowing and general cultivation cuts 
off a certain percent of the root system 
which, if the tree has a normal growth, 
tends to induce the production of fruit 
spurs. Therefore cultivation of other 
crops in the pear orchard might be 
considered as part of the pruning 
practice. 
If the pear tree has the bearing habit, 
pruning, it is true will seldom influence 
the tree toward bearing more fruit but 
will mean a larger, finer quality, more 
uniform size, better formed and more 
saleable fruit. 
No good farmer would neglect to 
harvest his hay, but some dairymen 
fail to harvest ice, which is almost as 
necessary as hay in the produ<:tion of 
market milk.
