Juniata sentinel. [volume] (Mifflintown, Pa.) 1846-1873, 1866-01-24

I find the Boys and Girls department
Of the Agriculturist the best thing / ev
er saw. Is i TN ot items, ETC., that
amuse and 4 the same time instruct the
children. Why, I could pick out the
boys and girls in my school whose pa
rents take the Agriculturist, just by hear
ing them talk-they are so full Of new
and good things they have learned from
the paper. The paper has many beauti-
f1l engravings. at..- f-.-t.-.
Reo. Corey.-As small as is my salary,
I would have the paper if it cost S.
year, instead of $3.50. The fact is, it
helps out my salary. Ny little garden
plot at the parsonage has yielded us al
most all our table vegetables, besides
many beautiful flowers The AgricuI-
turist has been my constant guide.
knew but little of gardening; but this
paper is so full Of information about the
best things to plant and SOW, when to
plant, and how to cultivate-all told is SO
plain and practical way, by men who
seem to talk from their own experience,
that I know just what to do, and how to
do it we'll The high moral tone of the
paper, Its common sense, the care it takes
of all parts of the Farm, the Garden, the
Orchard-the Household work, and the
Children as we'll, with its hundreds of
beautiful and instructive engravings-
make it the most valuable periodical [
have ever seen. heartily wish every
one of my Pensioners would take it for
himself aud family. 1t would awaken
thought and enterprise, give interest to
the town aad neighborhood talk, stimu-
late improvement, introduce new and
profitable crops, animals and impliments,
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 wcrth that any way. Why
the large and beautiful engraVings are
worth many tunes that. .s-
Mr. Daris.-I took the Geaesee Far
mer last year, aad as that has stopped, l
thought l would take new paper.
Mr.. Smah-The "Genesee Farmer
was not really stopped. The Publishers
of the Ay,sieu1turiist invited Mr.. Harris to
join the Farmer to the Agricultwist, and
put his whole force into the latter paper.
They paid him large price for his Office
and moved it with everything connected
with it to their office. So the Agr'cultur-
iist is really two papers joined into one,
and of course better. l think we better
go with Mr.. Harris to the Agricultwist
that has been published for 20 years and
has a hundred thousand circulation,
which, as Mr.. Knox has told US, supplies
the means and foci!ities for giving us a
great deal more for the same money. MIR
Harris carries on his large farm, and in
his "Waiks and Talks on the Farm" and
other things he writes for the Agricut-
twist, he tells US great deal about all
kinds of farm work.
NJ. Datis-Plt down for the Agri-

Mr.. .Smith-I am Nlad to do so. I
know you will like it. The January
numb er, which has just cope to hand, is
alone worth the cost of year. See here
Showing it, there are 40 pEges, twice as
large as the magazine pages, and there
are thirty five engravings in it, two OF
them full page size, and see how beauti-
full! Why, I'll give any man who takes
the paper a year, dollar ala half in
goods out Of my store, if he says at the
end of year he has not got many times
his moneys worth .l
Mr ButIer-Put me in your club.
Mr. Greene-And me too.-Mr BroUn
And me. ..l
NJ ,Smith.-I have no interest in the
matter, except to do good thing for the
place. You can join our club, or any
