are all engaged for seed. at $3.50 a bush
el. when other kinds only bring so cents.
That's $3.50 clear gain, for the SI4 extra
I maid for seed, and the $3.50 | paid for
the Agriculturalist. 1t was through this
D thas | learned about both the cab
bage and potatoes. Its editors are care
full, intelligent men, on the constant
lookout for anything new that is really
good, while the paper abounds in eau
tions against the poor and Improbable
Mr.. Smith.-What say you, Mr.. Tay-
Tor? Does it pay to invest $3.50 in the
Agriculrurist?
Mr.. Taylor.-Most certainly. A hint
in the paper led me to look after certain
at the proper time, and the result
was l had 100 barrels of splendid apples.
which brought me a clean s. a barrel,
and this. you know, was better by one
than the average price here, or
Sl60. Then | have read so much about
good and bad grapes. the method of rails
them. etc, that | can beat the town
in raising grapes profitably. Ny son Will
liam got a kink in his head about toma-
toes from something the editors said, and

ey on the crop raised in his spare hours
than was cleared by half of the farmers in
this town.
Mr.. Smith.-Let's hear from Mr..
Crane.
Mr.. Crane.-I only read in the paper
was said about hogs-what kind
paid best. how to feed them. and the
like: but if you will cali around and see
nv porkers. and my expense account, I'll
bet a pippin | can show fifty dollars more
pork for the same money than any man
here. And this comes from reading what
other men think and do. But Wife
ought to be here to speak. She and the
girls read the Agriculturist next to the
Bible. They think the household de
partment is worth more than all the fash
ion magazines in the world. They say
it is full of useful hints about all kinds
Of house work. All I can say is, that we
do have better bread and cake; and Wife
the cake don't cost as much as 1t
used to. She has learned from the paper
how a hundred other housekeepers do
their work.
Rev. Corey.-Let me say, also, that Mrs.
Crane and her daughters have added a
good many beautiful but home made
fixtures to their parlor and sitting rooms,
which certainly makes their home more
a attractive. They told me, the other day,
they got these up from pictures and des-
criptions in the Agriculturalist.
Mr.. Travis.-My salary has not allowed
me to take the paper; though l must
squeeze u enough todoso this year. My
school bows have brought me some copies
to look at, the past year or two. and |
find the Boys and Girls Department of
the AoricpLhurist the best thing | ever saw.
II is full of items. etc, that amuse and at
the same time instruct the children
Why, l could pick out the boys and girls
in nv school whose parents take the Ag
ricuduriSt Just by hearing them talk-they
are so full of new and good things they
have learned from the paper. The paper
has msny beautiful engravings.
Rev. Corey.-As small as is my salary,
l would have the paper if it cost So a year,
of $3.50. The fact is. it helps out
my saalry. Ny little garden plot at the
parsonage has yielded US almost all u
vegetables, besides many beautiful
flowers. The AgricuLturiSt has been ny
constant guide. l knew but little of
gardening: but this paper. so full OF in
formation about the best things to plant,
and SOW, when to plant and, how to cul
tivate-all told in so plain and practical
a way. by men who seem to talk from
their own experience, that l know just
what 10 do. and how to do it well. The
high moral, tone of the paper, its COM
ense. the care it takes of all parts
Of the Farm. the Garden, the Household
work the Orchard. and the children as
we'll. with It's hundreds of beautiful and
instructive engravingS-make il the most
valuable period cal l have even sen. l
heartily wish every one Of my parishOn-
FRS would take it for himself and family.
Ii would awaken thought and enterprise,
give interest 10 the town and neighbor-
hood talk. stimulate improvement, intro
dnce new and profitable crops, animals
and imuliments, and add Il our wealth.
Take nv advice. and all of you try the
paper a year. The 81. so it costs, is only
three cents q week, aud 1t Is worth that
any way. The large and beautiful en-
cravings are worth many times that.
Mr.. DaviS-I took the GeHeSee Farmer
last year. and as that has stopped, l
[ would take a e paper.
Mr.. Smith The Genes5e FTmer was
not really stopped. The Publishers of
the A~gric1turiSt invited Mr.. Harris to
Join the Farmer to the AgricuLturiSt. and
put mis- whole force into the latter paper
They paid him q large price for his office,
and moved it with everything connected
with it to their office. So the Agricultur
isl is really two papers Joined in one, and
of course better. think we had better 90
with Mr.. Harris to the AgricuhuriSt. that
has been published for 25 years and has a
hundred thousand circulation, which, as
Mr.. Knox has told US, supplies the means
and facilities for giving us a great deal
for the same money. Mr.. Harris
on his large farm, and in his walks
and talks on the farm" and other things
be writes for the Agricuh1uiSt he tells US
a great deal about all kinds Of farm work.
Mr.. Davis.-Put me down for the Ag
Mr.. Smith, am glad to do so. 1
know you will like it. The January
number, which has Just come to hand, is
alone worth the cost of a year. See here,
showing t. there are 40 pages. twice as
as the magazine pages, and there
are t~hirty-fve engravings 10 1t, two Of
them full page size, and see how beauti-
full Why, III give any man who takes
the papers a year, a dollar and a half in
goods out of my store, if he says at the
end of the year he has not got many
lines his moneys worth.
Mr. Butler.-Put me in your club.
Mr.. Greenland me too. Mr.. Brown.
me.
Mr.. Smith, have no interest in the
except to do a good thing for the
place. You can join our club, or any
one who desires, can get the AgricuLuriSt
for all of 1866 Volume 25,) 10y simply
enclosing 81 so, with his name and post
office address, and sending it to ORANGE
JUDD & Co, Park Row, New York City.
The paper always comes prompt and reg
and, what is a good thing, it stops
when your time is up, without your haV-
ing TO write about it. l predict that
will be plenty of others next win

Crane and Parson Corey have done to-
