Worth Far More Than II Costs.

A recent case occurred where a
farmer. to save expense, omitted to
take his local Paper for year. He
went to market on Monday with
load of SO bushels of wheat. and sold
it to the first one who offered him 1c.
more per bushel than he got the week
before. With part Of the money he
bought piece of AZ yards of muslin at
II cents per yard. At night he met
neighbor who had sold his whea, tot
the same quality. at 10 cents bnshel
higher, and bought the same kind OF
muslin for Is cents. His. local Paper
70 Saturday, had told him OF an advance
of 10 cents on wheat, and who paid 1t,
and he stuck for that price and got it.
The same papercontained an advertise
ment OF dealer who sold the cotton
goods at Is cents, and he bought them
there. He made, or saved, s3.Sl on
that days trip, from the information
gained from one number Of his paper,
while for a whole year j. cost him only
81. The single number, costing 4 cents,
was worth to him S1.S1 above a years
subscription. And SO it will often be
all though the year-not to mention
the fact that his children arc growing
up intclllgcrt-they learn to read
in reading the paper, and thus save
time and expense at school; and they
know what is gong on in the world
have something to think OF while at
work, and their heads arc not SO much
the devils workshop, for he 'finds
some mischief still for idle hands and
brains.-Therc is another story
about the above two farmers. The
one who got the largest price for his
wheat had also more bushels per acre
to sell, with the same cost of culture
A couple of hints he got from the
American griculturist, which de-
scribed the mode of culture and kind
of seed used by another farmer, were
adopted by bin, and the result was 4
bushels per acre more on 35 acres-or
40 bushels of wheat, clear gam. Such
results are very common, and it could
hardly be otherwise. A large force OF
practical mon are all through the year
gathering information for the paper,
and the result OF all this is furnished to
subscribers tor $3.50, or less to clubs.
Many cases are known where the oc.
cupants of village plots have in
creased the yield of the little garden
many dollars worth during year, by
following the hints and suggestions Of
the Agriculturist. And, aside from
this, may be named its $4,000 worth
OF beautiful eneravings, and its House
hold and Children's Departmental
valuable,--and it's constant showing
up of humbugs, which have saved to
| the country millions of dollars that
| would otherwise have gone into the
hands of swindlers. Reader, such
papers are each worth far more than
the cost to every one. and we can say
unhesitatingly, first secure good local
paper tour own, if you can find no bet
ter), and next supply yourselves with
the American Agriculturist, published
by Orange Judd & CO., 245 Broad
way, New York, at $3.50 a year, or
four copies for IS. A new volume,
the Goth Annual one, is just beginning,
and now Is the time to send for it. 1t
will pay far more than its cost. You
want it; your wife wants it; your chill
drcu want it.

RAGGED Ten CENT PIEoEs.-The reason
why torn and defaced "rag>currency" Of the
lower denominations like ''ten cents" are so
rarely seen in circulation on Monday, is the
fact that they are nearly all used for con>
,rbutions to the Lords Treasury by dcvout
donors on Sunday. 1t takes about all Monday
to count up, paste together the fragments and
find on: the amount of contribution, after
which they 60 into circulation for another
week, with a similarly expected fate for next
Sunday for those fragments which can be held
together until that time.I[State Register.

that a temperance paperin Iowa cannot
buck against the Republican party and
live. There IS room in the State, plcn
