The WEEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty
years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in en-
terprise. 1t devotes a large share of its col
umns to Agriculture as the most essential and
general of human pursuits. 1t employs the
ablest and most successful Cultvators TO set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views

cussions which elucidate that work gathers
from every source agricultural news, the re
ports of the latest experiments, the stories Of
