HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT..
To keep pace with the growing interest in
practical horticulture, and to comply with
frequent appeals from all parts CT the country
for information OF u practical character on
the subject, we have engaged the services OF
Il person who is experienced III rural affairs,
to write III a lucid style u series of articles on
the management OF small farms fruit and
vegetable culture. and how to make them
pay, giving general and specific directions
nom planting to the ultimate disposal of tin,
crops.
of late years there has been a lucrative
business carried ON by unpl,ineipled 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 imposition that comes with
III our knowledge.
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT. -
To make the Tribune still more valuable to
its 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, aud to prescribe
remedies. Answers and prescriptions will be
given only through the columns OF the Ii'i-
buae. We are sure that this new feature III
the Tribune will add largely to its readers,
as all owners of animals are liable to need
the information proffered. Inquiries should
be made as brief as possible, that the ques-
tions, answers, and prescriptions may be pub
hshed together. In short, weintend that the
Tribune shall keep in 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 in the
world
1t has been well observed that careful
reading and study of the Farmers Club Re-
ports i'll the Tribune alone will save q farmer
hundreds of dollars in his crop. In addition
to the reports, we shall continue to print the
best things written on the subject OF agrieill-
tufe by American and foreign writers, these
features from year to year. As it is, no prtl-
dent farmer can do without it. As q lesson
to his worklnen alone, every farmer should
place the Weekly Tribune upon his table
every Saturday evening.
The Tribune is the best and cheapest pa
per in the country. This is not said in q
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 tho news gathers, and the patronage is SD
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 Americas
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 orr re-
souces that every copy of the WeelLy Tribune
contains much matter as duodecimo volume.
Think oft For two dollars, the subscriber
reading matter as though he filed a shelf OF
his libarary with fifty volumes, containing the
greatest works in the language. The force
of eheapness can no further 90.
The Heekiy Tribune is the paper of the
people. Here the eager STUDENT may learn the
last lesson 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 cheapness.s
1t has long been conceded that the Tribune
has the largest circulation of any newspaper
in the country. For years we have printed
twice many papers, perhaps, as all of the
other weekly editions of the city dailies e0fff-
bined. This is why we are enabled to do our
work so thoroughly aud eheaply. The larger
orr circulation, the better paper we can make.

and urge his neighbers to do the same. If a

subscribe and we shall send him a copy
gratis for his trouble. No newspaper so
large and complete as the Weeh4g Tribune
was eyer before offered at so low price,
Even when our currency was ut par with
gold, no such paper but the Tribune was OF
tered at that price; and the Tribune paid
us far less than it now does. We have solved
the problem of making the best aud cheap
est newspaper in America.
