then you will be more likely to read it,
You will find hundreds of plain talks a
bout various kinds of crops. during sin
gle year. One hint gave five bushels of
corn on single acre of Il large field in a
year.
Mr.. .SmM--I can't afford to take it
this year. @ a. .
Mr.. Jones-You would think nothing
OF spending two cents week for extra
tobacco, or cigar, or candy, and that's
all the paper will cost. How lille week
it costs to supply yourself and family with
a large amount of information through
any good paper. .. as =. ..-..
Mr.. SmHA--What are the politics of
that paper? r
Mr.. Jones-It doesn': touch politics
1t is devoted to such subjects as Field and
Garden crops, Animals, etc and has be-
sides, good deal about Woman's work,
which wife says is worth more than ten
times the few pounds Of butter it costs to
pay for the paper. Then there is also
department Tor the young folks containing
many things which please the children
not mere trashy stuff which is too often
Iprinted for them, but information that will
have a good influence on them. | would
sell dozen bushels Of wheat 10 have my
young people get the good reading in
that paper, but the average price of one
bushel will pay for it a year. My John
says he cal pay for it easy with the eggs
from two or three hens. Ii Twas a me
chanic or merchant and had Only little
garden, should take the paper 20 tell me
how to make the best use of the little
plot and if had not foot of land l
should still want it for my wife and chill
dren.
Mr.. SmiM-Does the editor know any
thing about farming?
Mr. Jones--Ihe editor who owns and
publishes the paper was brought up on a
, farm, where he learned to work. He has
: studied all the books on farming, and ex-
) perimented for years in the labratory, and
has besides, Travelled all over the country
) to see what was doing. Then he has
several associates--Farmers, Gardeners,
: and Housekeepe1s, who know what they
J write about, and among them all they do
gather up a wonderful lot of Information
every year. The language, too, is so
plain, so like talking with you, that en-
JOY reading it. Then, too, every paper
has engravlngs. which show one exactly
how animals and plants, and implements,
md household furniture look, much bet
ter h n words could describe thcm--
Among these are plans of buildings, that
help one to plan oilers; and also many
very fine large pictures, which are worth
more than the cost of whole volume.
Mr.. Smah--I suppose those engravings
and descriptions are partly to help the ed.
itor sell implements or fertilizers. ,
Mr.. Jones--Not at al. The editor keeps
nothing of the sort TO sell, SO that he may
be perfectly free to praise or condemn
any thing, according as it may be valuable
or worthless to his readers. You wonld
laugh to see how he comes down on poor
inventions, patent msnures, and all kinds
} of humbugs. E..
Mr.. SoaM-Is the paper adapted to
our part of the country?
: Mr.. Jones-Exacly. Soils and crops
and climates differ, but the general prin-
: ciples ef cultivation are the same every
} where, and here is the benefit of paper
, published for the whole country. Every
reader gets new ideas by learning what is
done somewhere else; and further, find
that the paper has letters from every part
Of the country, and one or more associ
ate editors in different sections, so that
e we get Information from many regions
and our own too. One thing l must men
+. lion particularly. The editor is constantly
ing how sharpers take the advantage o
p people. Why, l was just agoiny to send
e a dollar for an article advertised in glow
t ing colors, when found it shown up al
humbug iu this paper. But 1 can MOI
! stop to talk more now--I have sach g
a lot of potatoes to harvest.
: M. SnauA--I wish l had. l must try
