SPRING WORK is coming on, and
Farmers, Gardeners, and all VINO cui-
tiyate even but small plot, should pre-
pare to do it well.
Why do not FARMERS make money as
rapidly as mechanics and other classes
Ans.-ChieHy because they read ana
think less, and depend more upon S'nt-
ply hard ,cork. The head should ald the
hands.
Farmers often expend $500, $500, s4oo,
$500, 5000, and even 81 900 or s.'oVv u
year, in plowlng, sowing, cultWating
and harvesting, and then attempt 10
save single dollar by emitting to sup,
ply themselves with Journal Devoted
to their 0lcR interests, and informing
them of the successful methods OF car
rying on similar operations pursued by
others. Even the poorest Agricultural
paper published can scarcely IAN 10 lu ,;
nish hints and suggestions when W0uiu
repay the cost many times over. HOW
much more profitable then to get the
BEsr-the cid -imerican AgricuItur4St
for example?
This journal is large Double Quar-
to, each number containing 81 pages
filled with PLAIN PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIVE
articles (about 500 in every annual vol,
ume) which are prepared by practical
WORKING MEN who give the details
of how they and their neighbors do tins
or that kind of work, achQt they cult
waite and koae, what crops and methods
they find proftable, and what they lind
unDyoftaJie. 1t is hardly possible that
any one. whether FARMER, GARDEN
Err, FRUIT GROWER, STOCK RAILS
Err, or the cULTIvAroR of only SMALL
VILLAGE plot, should read journal Of
this character without obtaining ut least
some hints that wolld render his own
labor much more profitable.
Tie experiment is eCOrth trying.
