New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1860-11-23

Jones--Not at all. The editor keeps
nothing Of the sort to sell, 50 that he
may be perfectly free to praise or con
denim anything, according as it may be
valuable or worthless to his readers.
You would laugh to see how he comes
down on poor inventions, patent man
ures, and all kind of humbugs.
Smith--Is the paper adapted to our
part of the country?
Jones-Exactly. Soils and crops
and climate differ, but the general prin-
ciples of cultivation are the same every
where, and here is the benefit of pa
per published for the whole country.
Every reader gets new ideas by learn
ing what is done somewhere else; and
further, I find that the paper has let
ters from every part Of the country, and
ore or more associate editors in differ
ent sections. SO that we can get informa-
ton from many regions and our own too,
One thing must mention particularly,
the editor is constantly warning his
readers against kumbugs, telling how
sharpers take the advantage of people.
Why, I was just going to send a dol
lar for an article advertised in glowing
colors. when found it shown up as
humbug in this paper. But can not
stop to talk more now I have such q
lot of potatoes to harvest.
Smith, wish Ihad, 1 must try that
paper year, and see what there is in it.
l can manage to save two cents week.
Jones-Never fear, if you don't find
it pays, I'll buy your copies at cost, for
my boys to keep.
Smith-What did you say the paper
is called?
Jones--The american Agricultu-
rist 1t is published ia New York
City. The editor, though one of our
country farmers, and living in the coun-
try, finds he can publish it cheaper
there, where printing, and paper, and
mailing facilities are all convenient.
Smith--How can I get it?
Jones Simply inclose dollar bill in
a letter giving your name, Post Office,
County, and State plainly, and direct to
ORANGE JUDD, Al Park Rov, New
YORK City.
Smith-IVhen does a volume begin?
Jones-The tventieth volume begins
Jan. 1st, but all who send in the dollar
now, get the remaining numbers of this
year, in addition to the whole of next
years. So if you subscribe now, you
get fourteen months papers. The pro-
prietor also offers some valuable pre-
miums to those who get up lists of sub
scribers. Send for the paper, and you
may afterwards find it we'll worth while
to make up club. Some 100 per-
sons have got good premiums in this
way during two years. Some of your
German neighbors would join you per-
haps for the Agriculturist is printed
separately in German. / did intend to
start a cllb myself, but I have so many
potatoes to dig, l can not get the time.
My sister-in law in Iowa, got up club
last year, and received q premium of a
$50 Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine,
an old acquaintance in Wisconsin got
two or three good farming implements,
and young nephew Of mine in Ohio
got beautiful copy Of Webster's great
Dictionary. These things only cost
them little time, showing the paper
evenings and election day. Send IN
your subscription and tho first paper
sill tell you I'll about the Pei premiums. 1
forgot to tell you that every year the
publisher also sends out to all his sub
scribers who want thema lot of choice
garden and field seeds
Smith-What does he charge rior
them2
Jones-NotL;ng; they are sent free
except the postage. They are .; the
best kind end one single parcel l got
last year was worth more to me than
the price Of the paper.
Smith-Ill try it year, any way
