OUR CLUB RATES.

We wish to call especial attention to the
low prices at which we now offer the FARMER
to clubs. No other agricultural paper in New
England is so liberal to its patrons; no other
paper in Vermont of the same size and ex-
pensiveness is offered at similar rates. We
want to extend our circulation rapidly, and
so we, for this year, allow clubs to be formed
at S1.65 each to club Of ten, or Sl.50 to a
club OF twenty WITH AN EXTRA COPY FREE IN
EACH CASE TO THE PERSON GETTING UP THE
CLUB. There are many post offices in the
state where we now have few subscribers,
or perhaps one, yet where little effort would
easily get up club of ten or twenty. Will
not you, kind reader, take right hold of this
matter and get your neighbors to join you in
a club7 1t is easy to have good, strong
Farmers Paper in Vermont, but to have
such paper it must be well supported by
the farmers themselves We meet you hall
way, and are willing to work hard for small
pay if you will show your own desire to sec
Vermont agriculture so represented. Take
hold, friends, and give us lift NOW, anC
see how hard we will work to give you full
value for your money.
