high character, hitherto issued by Messrs. Pet
tengill, Bates Co., has been purchased by Messrs,
Orange Judd Co... of 2i5 Broadway, n. Y, the
we'll known publishers Of the american Agricui-
furia. Messrs s. NJ, Pettengill & Co., whose
great Advertising Agency, established in 1919,
is one of the largest and most reputable in the
world find that their extensive business requires
their exclusive attention, and they therefore
transfer Hearth and Home to the new publishers,
whose long experience and abundant facilities will
enable them not only to maintain the past high
character Of the paper, but to add materially to
its value. The new Publishers also announce a
reduction of the terms 10 three dollars per year.
The change will not at all affect the american
.Aqricultmris which win continue on indepen-

ing matter of the two journals will be entirely
different. Either of the journals will be furnish
ed from now to the end Of 1871 90 months), at
the yearly subscription rate, viz the Weekly
Hearth and Home, at three dollars the Monthly
American Agricuurisi, one dollar and fifty cents
