scak FOR the heKt DAP, Il cost 90 cents
for the tiaterials. Well, that second
field yielded bushels an acre more than
the other--or SO bushels extra, and bet
ter wheat, too. Pretty good pay for
81. so expended for q paper. And got
lots of other hints almost IS valuable
You know l get better profits on my
beef, pork and mutton, than an any
other man in the place. Now, does not
this come from any direct hint, like the
wheat, but from a good many sugges-
4 tions that / have picked up in reading
the Aoriculturist, and from the course
of reasoning that have been led into,
/ by reading what others do, and think,
and say. ..
Mr.. Smith.-You are another subscr:-
| ber,to the A9rictSEtarist, Mr.. West; does
NJ. West-Payf Yes. You know
what good eabhages and potatoes had
last season. Why. the cRbbages were
worth double any others in town, for
market or for home use. | had 400
heads, worth cents piece, extra; aud
Il
$50 bushels of potatoes are all engaged for
seed at 81 so bushel, when other kinds !
bring only so cents That's $3.50 clear
gain, for the $l4 extra I paid for seed,
and the 81 so paid for the Agricultu.
rist It was through this paper that L
learned about both the cabbage and
potatoes. It's editors are careful and in |
telligent men, on the constant lookout
for anything new that is really good,
while the paper abounds in cautions
against the poor and Improbable
Mr. Snsith.-What say you, Mr.. Tay- |
lor2 Does it pay to invest 81 so in the
AgricultHrist? @
Mr. Taylor. Most certainly. A hint |
in the paper led me to look after certain
insects at the proper time, and the re-
suit was, had 160 barrels of splendid |
apples, which brought mea clesn S. per
barrel, and this you know was better by
81 than the average prices here, or
$l60. Then have read 30 much about |
good and bad grapes, the method of
treating them, etc., that / can beat the |
town in raising grapes profiably. My |
soR William got q k;hk in his head about
tomatoes, from something the editors
said, and sent for some seed He made |
more money on the crop raised in his
spare hours than was cleared by half the
farmers in this town. = s .
Ar. mith.-Lefs hear from Mr..
Crane. rt.
Mr.. CrdBe.-I only read in the paper
what was said about hogs-what kind
paid best, how to feed them, and the
like; but if you will call around and see
my porkers, and my expense account,
Ill bet pippin | can show fifty dollars
more Of pork for the same money, than
any other man here. And this comes
from reading what other men think and
do. BIT wife ought to be here to speak.
She and the girlsread the Agriculturist
next to the Bible. They think the house
hold department. worth more than all the
fashion magazines in the world. They
say, tits so full of good hfits about ali
kinds of honse work. All can say is,
that we do have better bread and cake;
and wife says, the cake don't cost so
much as it used to. She has learned
from the paper hoy a hundred other
house keepers do their work.
ReD COrey-Let me say, also, that
Mrs. Crane and her daughters have ad-
ded good many beautiful but cheap
home made fixtures to their parlor and
sitting rooms, which certainly make
their home more attractive They told
me, the other day, they got these up
from pictures and descriptions in the
A9ricultu1ist 8ssffss7 7A9s
Mr.. Trdvis.-My salary has not al
lowed me TO take the paper; though
must squeeze out enough to do so this
year. My school bpys have brought me
some copies to look at, the past yer or
two, and Gnd the Boys and Girls de-
partment of the AgricmltuYist the best
thing | ever saw 1t is full Of items. ETC.,
that amuse and at the same time in
struct the children. Why, / could pick
out the boys and girls in my school
whose parents take the. Agriculturist,
just by hearing them talk-they are so
full Of news and good things they have
learned from the paper. The paper has
many beautiful engravings. O4ci

the place. You can Join our club, or

comes prompt and regularly, and, what
it is q good thing, it stops when your
