Dear Bill,
According to WorldCat, Syracuse U. holds The Rural New Yorker, though
you'll have to check their catalog (online) for exact holdings. Other
libraries in the region showing holdings include Rochester Public,
Cornell,  the SUNY tech colleges at Cobbleskill and Alfred, and the State
 Library. These all show it in 'hard' copy. There are also microfilm
copies out there that would be easier to borrow if you are unable to visit
one of the holding libraries in person.
