FNHESE two popular and valuable agricultural
Il journals were united on the Let of January,
1910. The consolidated paper is conducted by Mes
srs. GAYLORD g. TUCKER, editors Of the late Gene
see Farmer, and published on the FIRST Of each month,
in the city of Albany, N. Y, at One Dollar a year
in advance. 1t is believed to be the cheapest publi-
cation in this country, considering the amount and
value of its contents, the number Of its illustrations,
and the beauty Of its mechanical execution. The
six numbers OF the united paper now printed, are
filled entirely with original contributions from more
than one hundred eminent practical farmers in differ
ent parts of our country; and contain more than fifty
Illustrations, among which are portraits of different
breeds of cattle, sheep and hogs; plans of buildings,
~piggeries, agricultural implements, b~ot-beds, pumps.
gates, hot-air furnace, steaming apparatus, &c. &c.
No efforts will be spared on the part of the Editors
and Publishers, to render the consolidated paper wor-
thy the high favor and patronage which the two pa
pers separately enjoyed.
Postmasters and gentlemen disposed to lend their
influence TO aid the cause Of agriculture, are respect
fully requested to act as agents. Address

n few facts on which the reader may most implicitly
rely. Thy are true. II is asserted most solemnly
aud seriously, and the persons who will investigate
will find them inrariabie. On this assertion the au.
thor pledges his reputation and character not only as
a man and physician, but as a moral and correct good
citizen. We repeat, this medicine is all it PROCESSES
to be.
Gentlemen have told the proprietors often, that
whether prudent or not they feel perfectly safe from
any fever while they have the article. They can al
rays throw off the worst kind Of feven in a few
hours, if taken at the commencement. They rise

fectly free, well and bright.

I'm uncommon fact is, that this remedy is a syrup
~palatable and pleasant to the taste, and children take
it always with the greatest readiness.
The proprietor is now making rapid arrangements
