The Western RuraI--Its Remarkable
Success. i

The Sixth Volume of this excellent
and most successful Weekly commences
Jan; lst next. The paper has met a re
narkable success, but not more than its
real merits deserve. We heartily en-
dorse the opinion Of the Western press
generally that it is Of more value 10 the
West than any Eastern Journal can Be-
for obvious reasons. and Western farmers
should subscribe for it in preference to
Eastern papers.
The. Western Rural is large eight
page, illustrated paper, devoted mainly
to Rural affairs, but gives also great va
rlety OF the most interesting Family
reading. original and selected stories, etc. /,
and has Children Corner full of
nice things for the little ones, a valuable
department. Of Domestic Economy, etc

With the view of doubling his present
list aud securing $4,000 subsc Il ers for

40 per Year., a choice is given Of Il
i" heeier y Wilson. Wilcox & Gibbs. or
Howe Sewing Machine, or Lamb

other desirable articles are offered for
clubs OF various sizes.
The plan of the paper is somewhat
novel, two editions being publish ed-ole
for Ch;c.go and one for Detroit, each
distlnct N its character one adapted to
the West generally, she other more nar
ticularly for Michigan. This arrange
ment conters double advantages, substan-
TALLY combining the resources of two pa
pers IN one, in the benefit of which every
subscriber participates.
Subscription rates $3.50 per year
