To Avoid Being Cheated.

It is said that three million dollars an
nually are taken from the pockets Of the
country people by the various swindling
establishments in New York city, who
spread their alluring advertisements all
over the country, and get small sums by
mail. The american A9riculturist has,
with commendable enterprise, ferreted
out and exposed many Of these swindling
tricks; but a shorter and simpler way is
this--Never trust your money, not even a
postage stamp, to any person whose repu-
tation you know nothing about. The big
ger the promises, the more likely you will
be caught. Avoid all these advertisers
who offer you remedies for nothing-there
will be gouging behind-men do not pay
for costly advertisements for the cake OF
gra,uitous labor Avoid all gift establish
ments-they will get twice to ten times
