great excellence Of this paper. As an
agricultural and horticultural periodical
it stands first on the calendar. The
Genisee Farmer. always an ably conduc-
ted papcr.has been merged into the Ag-
ricu!lurist. thus securing the editorial
talent and experience of the two journ-
ais in one. We find occasion 10 clip
more from this paper than any other of
our agricultural exchanges, for the rea-
son that its articles are timely, well-con.
densed, and to the point. We thought
years ago that Mr.. Judd had published
the cream Of agricultural literature and
intelligence. bu; The richness of the mat
ter that still fills the columns of his ad-
mirable monthly. shows tina. the cream
is not all used up yet.
There ought to be at least one humid
red copies of The Agricultural taken in
his county.
