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 in lucid style a 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, 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 com
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 Iri-
ba7ie- We ore sure that this new feature in
the Tribune will add largely to its readers,
as all owners of animals are liable to need
the information proifered Inquiries should
be made as brief as possible, that the ques-
tlons, answers, and prescriptions may be pub
lished together. In short, weintend that the
Tribune shall keep i'll 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 u farmer
ID.
TO the reports, we shall continue to print the
best things written on the subject of agricul-
lure by American and foreign writers, these
features from Year to year. As it is, no pru-
dent farmer can do without it. AS lesson
to his worknlen alone, every farmer should
place the Weekly Tribune upon his table
every Saturday evening
The Tribune is the best and cheapest pa
per III the country. This is not said in u
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
| nent-perhaps the most complete in America
| lis 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
souces that every copy of the Weekly Tribune
contains much matter as a dnodccimO volume
| Think of it For two dollars, the subscriber
| TO the Tribune for one year buys as much
i reading ma tier as though he filled a shelf OF
| his libaraTy with fifty volumes, containing the
| greatest works III the language. The 1orct
of cheapness can no further CO.
| The Weekly Tribune is the paper of the
| people. Here the eagers student may learn tho
! 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 i'll almost every
country.
The Tribune is strong by reason of its
enormous circulation and great cheapness.
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 eheaply. The larger
our circulation, the better paper we can make
What are the practical suggestions! Many.
Let every subscriber renew his subscription,
and urge his neighbors to do the saline. If Il
man cannot afford to pay two dollars, let him
raise ii club, by inducing his neighbors to
subscribe, and we shall send him q copy
gratis for his trouble. No newspaper 80
large and complete as the HeeklHs Tribune
was ever before offered at SO low a price.
Even when our currency was at pay with
gold, no such paper but the Tribune Was of
tered at that price; and the Tribune paid
lis far less thaR it now docs. We have solved
the problem of making the best and cheap
est newspaper in America.
