the fellow sold more than fifty OF the hum
bug recipes hereabout, at 50 q piece but !
not to any one oi my subscribers.
Mr. POdS.--Put me dCwu as subscriber. |
MIR. Knox, here is your two dollars.
Mr. Si0r,--And me too.
Mr. kR0,c,-rhauk you, gentlemen. I'll |
try to make better paper than ever.
Every dollar helps; q new subscriber only
adds to my expense the cost OF my paper.
If everybody took the paper, aud thus
divided tho cost of getting uows, setting
type, Office rent, etc, could double the
value OF the paper to each. Please talk the
matter over with other neighbors aud see
if it cannot bc done.
ScreyW l'oiccS.-Wo will.
MIR. SmiH-Aud now while you are
about 1t, want to make up u club for
good Now Iorl, paper.
Mr.. BroWG--We can't afford to take 80
many papers,
MIR. Smih.--Iou have Just soou that you
could not afford to stop your home papor
let us see ii it wilt not pay to join our club.
Mr. Rich, you have taken the ImsricdH
Agric0ltTiS' for several years. Does it
pay?
MIR, Ric9.--Pay? Yea, roy times over.
Why, got two 'cn.ocrc fields ready to SOW
IN wheat, 2nd put in one of them. That
night my IyricVl,WjSt came, aud read a
simple recommendation about preparing
seed wheat, called John and we put 10
bushels in soak for the next day. Ii cost
80 cents for tho materials. Wen, that
secoud field yielded bushels an acre more
than the othcr--or 50 bushels extra, and
better wheat too. Pretty good pay for 81 30
expended for q paper. Aud | have got
lots of other hints almost as profitable
You know get better profits on my beef,
pork and mutton, than any other man in
the place. Now this does not come from
any direct hint like the wheat, but from a
good many suggestions that have picked
up in reading the AgricuhWiSt, and from
the course of reasoning that have been led
into, 10y reading in it what others do and
think, and say.
Mr.. SmHh.-Iou are another subscriber
to the Agriculturist,' Mr.. West does it
pay?
Mr., ITeSt-Pay2 Yes You know what
good cabbages and potatoes | had last sea
sou. Why the cabbages were wol til double
any others in town, for market or for home
use. ] had 400 heads, worth cents apiece,
extra; aud they only cost 20 cents extra for
seed My $50 bushels of potatoes are all
engaged for seed at 81 50a bushel, when
other kinds bring ouly 80 cents That's
$3.50 clear gain, for the Sl4 extra | paid
for seed, and the 81 80 paid for the Ag-
riculturist.' 1t was through this paper that
learned about both the cabbage and pota-
toes. Its editors are careful, intelligent
men, on the constant lookout for anything
new that is really good. while lie paper
abounds i'll caution against the poor and
Improbable.
Mr.. SmM What say you Mr.. Taylor
Does it pay to invest 81 so in tho "Asri.
culturist?"
Mr.. TdHior.-Most certainly. A hint in
the paper led no to look after certain in
sects at the proper time, and the result
was | had lCO barrels of splendid apples,
which brought me clean 50 per barrel,
and this yon know was better by 81. than
The average prices here or $lGO. Then
have read SO much about good and bad
grapes, the method of treating them, etc,
that can beat the town in raising grapes
prolitably. My son, William, got knG in
his head about tom ttocs, from something
the Editor said, and sent for some seed
III made more money on the crop raised in
his spare hours, than WAS cleared by half
the farmers in the town.
MIR, Smith.---lctS hear from Mr. Crane.
MIR. Crdme.--l only read in the paper
what wac said about hogs--what kind paid
best, how to feed them, and the Ike; but if
You Will call around and see my porkcrs,

can show fifty dollars more of pork for
the same money, than any other man here
And tins comes from reading what other
men think and do. Bnt Wife ought To be
here to speak. She aud the girls read the
" Agrlculurist next TO the Bible. They
think tho household department is worth
more than all the fashion magazines in the
world. They say it is so full of good hints
about all Kinds of house work. All | can
say is, that we do have better bread and
cake; and Wife says, the cake don't cost so
much as il used 10, She has learned from
the paper how a hundred other house
keepers do their work.
Rer, COrey.-Let me say, also, that Mrs
Crane and her daughters have added good
many beautiful but cheap home made
fixtures to their parlor aud sitting rooms
which certainly make their home more at
tractive. They told me, the other day, they
got these up from pictures and descriptions
in the Ag1'tc H0iSt.
