REASONS FOR TAKING IT.
e / 1t is one of the largest and cheapes,
agricultural papers published IN the United
States. Specimen Nos, sent to those reques-
ting them.
g. II is not published for the whole coun-
try, but for the especial benefit Of western
farmers.
3. Most ofthe matter is supplied by cor.
respondents, more than three hundred in
number. from all parts of The West; as bo-
dy unsurpassed in ability and practical
knowledge, by those of any other agricultu-
raj paper.
A. 1t is illustrated with an abundance of
well executed engravings; is we'll printed
on good paper; and each number accompa-
MED with cover to keep il clean.
5. A full and complete Index is sent Il
the end of the year, making a volume of a.
out 800 pages, Invaluable as work of ref
erence,
6. The information contained either I'M
der the head of veterinary Department. or
Household Affairs or 'Orchard and Gar
dem is worth several times the cost of the
paper.
1t contains Chicago Prices Current,
with the latest intelligence OIL New York and
other markets
6, Common Schools are too much neg
lected in the West. and two or three pages
are occupied with disseminating the most
important information concerning them.
9. II is permanently established and as
western paper should receive the undivided
support of western farmers. particularly
10. Ii is pronounced by those who have
taken it from the comm encement, and by the
public press generally, the best agricultural
paper for western farmers, that is published.
