I -Nr. S@;t4.--.iad now whitley you are about it,
want 10 make UP a club for a good New York
paper.
Dr. Bro~a-We can't afford to take 80 many
/ papers. ,49D1ga So q isaes ro8a
.Nr Smih.-Iou have just seen that ron could
not afford to stop yopr home paper; LET US see if
it will not pay to join our dub Mr.. Rich, you
have taken the dmeriedm iyricutqrst,for several
years. Does il Pqy2 ailN btham U.s.
DR.. Rich.-Pay? Yes, fifty times. over. Why,
! got two ten-acre fields ready to sow wheat, and
put in one of them Tiiat night my 19ricultu-
rist came and Tread a simple Recommendation
about preparing seed wheat, called John and,
we put ID bushels in soak. for the next day. It
cost so cents for the materials. Well, that sec
ond field yielded 5 bushels an acre more than the
other-or so bushels extra, and better wheat too.
Pretty good pay for 81 so expended for q paper.
And have got lots of other hints almost rs prof.
table. You know get better profits on my beef,
pork and mutton, than any other man in the
| place. Now does this notcone from any direct
hint, like the wheat hut from good many sug-
gestions that have picked up in reading the Iq-
riculturist, and from the course Of reasoning that
have bern led into, by reading init what others
4 do and think, aud Say. s{ s3asaa 1zal E
4 Mr.. Smith You are another subscriber to the
/ .1grtrahurist Mr. West does il pay ?
1 Dr.. Wcst.--Par? Yes Yoa know whnt good
! cabbageS and potatoes had last season. Why,
! the cabbages were worth double anynolhers 10
| town, for market or for homo use, had 400
heads, worth 5 centsa piece, extra aud they
| only cost 90 cents extra for seed Ny $50 bush
els of poiatoesere aiheu2agcd for seed ut 81 so
n bushel when other kinds bring only 80 cents.
That's $3.50 clear gain, for the Sl4 extra paid
for the seed and 81 so | paid for the 5griculur-
Isl. ltwas through this paper that ! learned
about both the csbbagcs and potatoes. Its edi-
tors are careful, in;elligept men, on the constant
lookout for anything new that is really good,
while the paper abounds in cautions against the
poor and Improbable.
Mr. Smith What say you, Mr. Taylor? Does
it pay to invest Sl.50 in the 4grieulur1stE z -
NJ Taylor.-AIost certainly. A hint in the
paper led me to look after certain insects at the
proper time and The result was, had. l69 bar
rels of splendid apples, which brought me clean
$5 per barrel, and this you know wa 5 better by
81, than the average prices here, orSl50. Then
have read so much about good and bad Grapes,
the method of treating them, etc., that can beat
the town in raising grapes profitably. My son,
William, got kink in his head about Tomatoes,
from something the Editors said, and sent for
some seed. He made more money on the crop
raised 10 his spare hours, than was cleared by
half the farmers in this town. ~ Is lfessf 81
Mr. SmfH.-Iet's hear from Nr. Crane. 3
Mr.. Craale.-l only read in the paper what
| loho hot nd hoe hntv
to feed them and the like but if you will call
around and see my porkers, and my expense nc
count, I'll bet a pippn 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 But Wife ought TO be
hear to speak, She and the girls read the Agrj-
cultarist next TO the Bible. They think the
household department is worth more thanall 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 it used to- She has learned from
the paper how hundrd other house-keepers do
their work -s
Re0. Cdrey.-Let me say, also that Mrs.
Crane and her, daughters have added a good
many beautiful but cheap homemade fixtures to
their paror and sitting rooms, which certainly
make their home more attractive. They told
me, the other day, they got these from pictures
and descriptions in the Agricul!mrla ia a
Mr.. 7rapis.-My salary has not allowed me to
take the paper though | must squeeze out
enough to do this year. My school boys have
brought me some copies toslook at, the past year
or two, and find the Boys and Girls depart
ment of the .4griculturist the best thing | ever
saw. 1t Is Full Of items, etc, that amnse and at
the same time instruct the children. Why, "
conld pick out the boys and girls IN my
school whose parents take the 4gTtcnlHriSt, Just
by hearing them talk--they are SO full OF new
and good things they have learned from the pa
per. The paprwhaS many beautiful engravpgs.
Rev. Corey--As small rs is my salary, would
have the paper ifit cost S. Il year, instead OF
81. So The fact is, it helps out my salary. Ny
little garden plot at the parsonage has yielded us
all our table vegetables, besides many beautiful
flowers The 4griculfu,fst has been my con-
stunt guide loknew but little OF gardening
but this paper is so full oi information about the
best things to plant and sow, when 10 plant and
how to cultivate--al told is so plain and practi-
cal II way, by men who seem TO talk from their
own experience that ! know just what to do,
and how to do it well. 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 well,
with its hundreds of beautiful and instructive
engrayingS--lnake it the most valuable periods
cal have ever seen. heartily wish every one
of my parishoners would take IL for himself and
family. 1t would awaken thought and enter
prise, give interest TO the town and neighbor-
hood talk, stimulate improvement, introduce
new and profitable crops, animals aud n1ple-
meuts, and add TO onr wealth. Take my advice,
and all Of you try the paper year. The Sl.o0
Il costs, is only three cents q week, and IL is
worth that any way. Why the large and beau-
tiful engrayings are worth many times that.
Mr. Dapis.--I took the Gsa1esee farmar last
year, and as that has stopped, / thonght would
take new paper. aas w
M. Smak-The .sGenesee Farmer was not
really stopped. The Publishers of the -dgricul-
turst invited Mr.. Harris To join the Farper 10 The
.ioriculturist, and put his whole force into the
latter paper.~ They paid him large price fer
his Office and moved itwith everything connect
ed with il to their office So the 1gricult1rist is
really two papers joined into one and OF course
better. i think we had better go with Mr.. liar-
IA TO the iqrieulturiSt, that has been published
for 25 years and has hundred thousand circu-
lation. which, Mr. ----l 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 Agri-
culturist he tells us great deal abont all kinds
OF farm work
+ Mr. Ddcis .--Pntme down for the -Agricultarit.
Ah SnaiA.--T am glad to do so. / 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 IT'D there are 4Opages,
twice as large as the magazine pages and there
are hirfy-fre engrayngs in it, Two Of them full
page size, aud see how beautiful Why, I'll
give any man who takes the papers year, a dol
lar and half in goods out Of my store, II ne
SAYS at the end of year he has not got many
4 times his moneys worth. asas isf 5ae
