Reu. Corey-Let me say, also, that Mrs
Crane and her daught ers have added good
many beautiful but cheap homemade fix
lures to their parlor and sitting rooms,
which certainly make their home more at
tractlve. They told me, the other day, they
got these up from pictures and descriptions
In the Agrtcukurist
Mr. Traris salary has not allowed
me to take the paper though | must squeeze
out enough to do SO this year. My school
boys have brought me some copies to look
at, the past year or two, and L find the Boys
and Girls department of the Agriculturist
the best thing | ever saw. 1t is full of l.
TENS, ect.. that amuse and at the same time
instruct the children. Wing, could pick
out the boys and girls in my school whose
parents take the Agriculturist, just by hear
ing them talk-they are SO full of new and
good things they have learned from the pa
per. The paper has so many beautiful en-
cravings
Reg. Corq-As small as is my salary l
would have the paper if itcost So year in
stead of 81, so. The fact is, it helps out
my salary. My little garden plot at the par
sonage has yielded US almost all our table
vegetables, besides many beautiful flowers
The Agricutturist has been my constant
guide. L knew but little about gardening;
but this paper is so full of information about
the best things 10 plant and SOW, when to
plant, and how to cultivate-all told in so
plain and practical a way, by men who seem
to talk from their own experience, that L
know just what to do, and how to do it well.
The high moral tone of the paper, its com
mon sense, the care it takes Of all parts of
the Farm the Garden, the Orchard-the
Il. II
with It's hundreds OF beautiful and instruc
tive engravings- it the most valuable
periodical have ever seen. | heartily wish
every one of my Pensioners would take it
for himself and family. 1t would awaken
thought and enterprise, give interest to the
town and neighborhood talk, stimulate i'm
provement, introduce new aud profitable
crops animals and imp lements, and add to
our wealth. Take my advice, and all of you
try the paper year. The 81, so it costs, is
only three cents a week, and it is WORTH that
any way. Why the large and beautiful en-
cravings are worth many times that.
lHr Daris-I took the Genesee Farmer
last year, and as that has stopped, thought
would take new paper.
lNr. ,Smith h-The 'Genesee Farmer"
| the 1griculturtst invited Mr. Harris to join
the Farmer to the Agriculturist, and put
his whole force into the latter paper They
| paid him large price for bis office, and
moved it with everything connected with it
to their Office. So the 49rtculturtst is real
| ly two papers joined into one, and of course
| better. | think we better go with MIR. Har
ris to the Agrteult1aist, that has been pub
lished for 25 years, and has hundred thou
sand circulation, which, as Mr.. Knox has
| told US, supplies the means and facilities for
| giving US great deal more for the same
money. Mr.. Harris carries on his large
farm, and in his Walks and Talks on the
! Farm. and other things he writes for the
| AgricultWist, he tells us great deal about
all kinds of farm work.
H. Dauts.-Put me down for the Agri-
culturist
M. ,Sn,ith-I am glad to doso [ know
you will like it. The January number,
which has Just come to hand, is aloue worth
the cost of year. See here, (showing it, }
there are 10 pages, twice as large as the mag
azine pages, and there are thirty-tfce engra-
| wings in it, two of them full page size, and
see how BEAUTIFUL Why, III give any man
| who takes the papers year, a $50 In
goods out of my store, if he says at the end
of the year he has not got many times his
moneys worth.
Iur. Butler.-Put me on your club.

And me-
IMr Smith, have no interest in the mat
ter, except to do good thing for the PLACE.
You can join our club, or any one who de
sires can get the 4gricalturist for all of 1866
Volume 25), by simply enclosing sl,50;,
with his name and post office address, and
sending it to Orange Judd & Co., Al Park
Row, New York City. The paper always
comes prompt and regularly, and, what is a
good thing, it stops when your time IS up,
without YOU having to write about 1t.
predict there will be plenty or others next
winter, to talk as Mr.. Rich, Mr.. West. Mr..
Crane and Parson Corey have done tonight.
