We aim to make The Weekly Tribune such
paper as no farmer can afford to do without,
however. widely his politics may differ from
ours. Our reports Of the Cattle, Horse, Pro- |
duce, and General Markets, arc so full and |
accurate. our essays in calculation Of the far |
mer's calling, and our regular reports Of the
Farmers Club and kindred gatherings, are so |
interesting. that the poorest farmer will find
therein q mine of suggestion and counsel, of
which he cannot remain ignorant without pos. |
tive and serious loss. We sell The Weekly |
10 Clubs for less than its value in dwellings for
waste paper; aud, though its subscription is
already very large. we believe that Half
