HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
To keep pace with the growing interest in
practical horticulture, and to comply with
frequent appeals from all parts of the country
for information of practical character on
the SUBJECT, We have engaged the services OF
person who is experienced in rural affairs,
to write III lucid style series of articles on
the management of small farms, fruit and
vegetable culture, and how to make them
pay, giving general and specific directions
from planting to the ultimate disposal of the
crops.
OF late years there has been a lucrative
| business carried ON by unprincipled men, III
| selling worthless and old plants under new
names, TO the inexperienced. The Tribune
| will be always ready to guard the farmer
| against any such imposition that comes with
| i'll our knowledge.
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.
| To make the Tribune still more valuable to
it's agricultural readers we have engaged
Professor James Law, veterinary surgeon in
Cornell University, to answer questions con-
corning 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 1Fi-
| bufte. We are sure that this new feature i'll
| the Tribune will add largely to its readers,
| as all owners of animals are liable to need
| the information protfered. Inquiries should
| be made as brief as possible, that the 9ues-
| tions answers, and prescriptions may be pub
| hshed together In short, weintend chat the
| Tribune shall keep III the advance In all that
concerns the Agricultural, Manufacturing,
Mining, and other interests of the country,
and that for variety and completeness it
| shall remain altogether the most valuable,
| instructive NEWSPAPER published i'll the
world.
| 1t has been well observed that careful
| reading and study of the Farmers Club Re
ports in the Tribune alone will save u farmer
hundreds of dollars i'll his crop. In addition
| to the reports, we shall continue to print the
best things written on the subject of agiicul-
ture by American and foreign writer's, these
| features from year to year. As it is, no pIIl
| dent farmer can do without it. As lesson
to his workmen Alone every farmer should
| place the Heskiy Tribune upon his table
| every Saturday evening.
| The Tribune is the best and cheapest pa
| per III the country. This is not said in
! spirit of boastfulness. 1t has fallen to New
| York to create the greatest newspapers of the
country. Here concentrate the commerce,
the manufactures, She mineral resources, the
| agricultural wealth of the Republic. Here
all the news gathers, and the patronage is so
| large that journalists can afford 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 establish
ment-perhaps the most complete in America
is devoted to the purpose of making the
| Weekly Tribune the best and cheapest news
paper in the world. The result is that we
have so systematized and expanded our re-
souees that every copy of the Weekly Tribune
| contains much matter as duodecilllo volume.
Think of it For two dollars, the subscriber
/ to the Tribune for one year buys as much
| reading matter as though he filled a shelf OF
his libarary with fifty volumes, containing the
| greatest works in the language. The forct
! of cheapness can no further go.
| The Weekly Tribune is the paper of tho
people. Here the eager STUDENT may learn the
/ last lessen of science. Here the scholar may
read reviews of the best books. Here may be
found correspondence from all parts of the
world, the observations of sincere and gifted
men who serve the Tribune in almost every
| country.
The Tribune is strong by reason of its
enormous circulation and great eheapness.
| 1t has long been conceded that the 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 dailies COM
bined This is why We are enabled to do our
work so thoroughly and cheaply. The larger
| our circulation, the better paper We can make
What are the practical suggestions2 Many.
Let every subscriber renew his subscription
and urge his neighbors to do the same. If u
man cannot afford to pay two dollars, let him
raise club, by inducing his neighbors to
subscribe, and we shall send him ;t-repy
gratis for his trouble. No newspaper so
large and complete as the Weekly Tribune
was ever before offered at SO low a price.
Even when our currency was at par with
gold, no such paper but the Tribune was of
fered ut that price; and the Tribune paid
us far less than itnow does. We have solved
the problem Of making the best and cheap
est newspaper i'll America.
