Few persons can make better pay
Sng investment, of dollar and a half,
than to send it for q whole years sub
Scription to the American Agricul.
turlst which is now entering upon its
9th annual volume. Though very
good in the past, the quality of the
first number for 1868 shows that this
superb journal has still better things
in store for this years volume. The
paper has been kept up to its full
standard of excellence, by the asso-
ciate editors, and we learn from the
number before US that Mr.. Orange
Judd, the long time editor in chief,
has just returned from his lengthy
tour in Europe, rested and reinvigor-
ated, and that he will resume his
labors upon the Agriculturist, with no
diminution in the recent strong edi-
torial force that have SO ably conduct
cd the paper in his absence. This
journal has already a circulation aver
aging half o dozen subscribers for
every Post Office in the United States
and British America, but we presume
that in it's new, spacious, and perma-
nent headquarters, at 245 Broadway,
there will be room to supply all new
corners. The large size of the Agri-
culturist, its great number of beauti-
full and instructive engravings, its
vast store of useful, practical, and re-
liable information about all matters
pertaining to the Farm, the Garden,
and the Household its pleasing and
instructive department for Children
and Youth, with its unsparing ex-
posures Of the humpugs ana swindIers
that abound, all render this journal a
very valuable, and almost indispensa-
BILE aid to every Man, Woman, and
Child, in City, Village, and Country.
The terms, owing to its immense cir
culation, are put down to the very low
price Of $3.50. q year, or four copies
for $5.H Take our advice, and send
for It a year, or, at least, send Is cents,
and get a postpaid specimen copy
