HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
To keep pace with the growing interest in
practical Horticulture, and to comply with fre-
quent appeals from all parts of the countryfor
information Of practical character on the SUBJ
ject, we have engaged Mr.. P. 7. QUINN, who is
experienced in rural affairs, to write in lucid
style series of articles on the Management Of
Small Farms, Fruit and Vegetable Culture, and
how to make them pay, giving general and spe-
cifc directions from planting to the ultimate
disposal of the crop.
OF late years there has been lucrative bust
ness carried on by unprincipled men, in selling
worthless and old plants under new names to the
inexperienced THE TRIBUNE will be always
ready to guard the farmer against any such impo
sition that comes within our knowledge.
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.
To make THE TRIBUNE still more valuable
to its agricultural readers, VIC have engaged Prof.
JAMES LAW, Veterinary Surgeon in Cornell Uni
versity, to answer questions concerning diseases
of Cattle, Horses, Sheep, and other domestic
animals, and to prescribe remedies. Answers
and prescriptions will be given only through the
columns of THE TRIBUNE. We arc sure that
this new feature in THE TRIBUNE will add
largely to its readers, as all owners of animals
are liable to need the information proffered. In
quiries should be made as brief as possible, that
the questions, answers, and prescriptions may
be published together. In short, we intend that
THE TRIBUNE shall keep in the advance in all
that concerns the Agricultural, Manufacturing,
that tor variety and completeness, 1t shall remain
altogether the most valuable, interesting, and
instructive NEWSPAPER published In the
world.
1t has been we'll observed that careful read
ing and study of the Farmers Club Reports in
THE TRIBUNE alone will save farmer hun
dreds of dollars in his CROP In ad iitOn to these
reports, we shall continue to print the best things
written on the subject of agriculture by Amcri'
can and foreign writers, and shall increase these
features from year to year. As it is, no prudent
farmer can do without it. AS lesson to hi

THE TRIBUNE is the best and cheapest parrr
in the country. This is not said in spirit ul
bOastfulness. 1t has fallen to Newly ork to Gre
ate the greatest newspapers OF the country. Here
concentrate the commerce, the manufacture,
the mineral resources, the agricultural wealth uI
| the Republic. Here all the news gathers, ami
the patronage Is so large that journalists can al
ford to print It. This is the strength of THE
| TRIBUNE. We print the cheapest, and best
edited weekly newspaper in the country. We
| have all the advantages around us. We have
| great Daily and Semi. Weekly editions. All the
| elaborate and intricate machinery of our cstab
lishment-pcrhaps the most complete in Amcri.
ca-is devoted to the purpose OF making THE
| WEEKLY TRIBUNE the best and cheapest
| newspaper in the world. The result is that VIC
| have SO systematized and expanded our resources
that every copy Of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is the paper OF

read reviews of the best books Here may be
found correspondence from all parts OF the world,
the observations of sincere and gifted me, who
serve THE TRIBUNE in almost every country.
THE TRIBUNE is strong By reason Of its eaor-
nous circulation and great cheopness. 1t has long
| been conceded that TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
has the largest circulation of any newspaper in
| the country. For years we have printed twice
as many papers, perhaps. as all of the other
| weekly editions of the city dalies combined.
This is why we are enabled to do our work So
thoroughly and cheaply. The larger our circu-
lation, the better paper we can make.

every subscriber renew his subscription, and
urge his neighbors to do the same If man
cannot afford to pay two dollars, let him raise
club, by inducing his ncighbors to subscribe,
and we shall send him a copy gratis for his trou

rency was at par with gold, no such paper Ju;
THE TRIBUNE was offered at that price and
THE TRIBUNE then cost us far less than it now
does. We have solved the problem of making
