Worth far More Than it Costs.

A recent case occurred where farmer, tt
save expenses, omitted to take his local paper
for year. He went to market on Monday
with a load of thirty three 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 forty two yards of muslin at seven
teen cents per yard. At night he met a
neighbor who had sold his wheat of the same
quality at ten centsa busbel higher, and
bought the same kind of muslin for 5 cents.
His local paper of Saturday had told him of
an advance of ten cents on wheat, aud who
paid it, and he struck for that price and got
it The same paper contained and ADVERTISE
ment of dealer who sold the cotton goods
at fifteen cents, and he bought them there
He made, Or saved 1891 on that days
trip, from the information gained from one
number of his paper, while for whole year
it cost him only two dollars. The single
number, costing four cents. was worth to
him $1,81 above a years subscription
And so it will often be all through the year,
not to mention the fact that his children are
growing up intelligent-they learn to read
in reading the paper, and thus save time
and expense at school /; and they know what
is going on in the world, have something to
think of while at work, and their heads are
not so much the devils workshop, for he
''fnds some mischief still for idle hands"
and brains. There 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 Agriculturia, which
described the mode of culture and kind of
seed used by another farmer, were adopted
by him, and the result was four bushels
per acre more on thirty FIVE acres-cr one
hundred and forty bushels of wheat, clear
gain. Such results are very common, and
it could hardly be otherwise. A large force
of practical men are all through the year
gathering information for the paper, and the
result OF all this is furnished to subscribers
for 81 so, Or less to clubs Many cases are
known where the occupants of village plats
have increased the yield of the little garden
many dollars worth during year, by fol-
lowing the hints and suggestions of the Ag-
ric,Itawist And, aside from this may be
named its $4,000 worth of beautiful en-
cravings, and its Household and Children's
Department., all valua ble-and its constant
showing up of humbugs, which have saved
to the country millions of dollars that would
otherwise have gone in to 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 a
good local paper (our own if you can find
no better,) and next supply yourself with
the american Agriculturist, published by
Orange Judd & Co., 245 Broadway, Now
York, at $3.50 year, or four copies for
S.. A new volume, the 29th Annual one,
is just beginning and now is just the time to
send for it. It will pay far more than its
cost. You want it your wife wants it .
your children wants it-Maryzand Repubh-
can.
