Notes by the Publisher.
Those in Vermont who have been receiv.
ing the FARMER few weeks on trial will
not expect any numbers after this week.
We would be pleased to have them all become
Subscribers, with as many Of their friends
and neighbOrs as would like good sgricul-
turaI paper. Many have already got up
clubs. When a club is formed at any post
Office the papers will be received earlier than
when they go in single wrappers, reaching
every Office in Vermont and New Hampshire
by Saturday and nearly all by Friday.
Those in New Hampshire who are receiving
sample copico will get one number after this
week. l .s-, r d.. s
Sometimes subscribers say, ave want you
10 give US the FABMER at lower club price"
Now VIC are in favor Of low prices, decidedly,
but we can not sell the FARMER lower than
We do unless We employ poorer talent upon
il. Our subscribers seem to want about as
good as there is and 20 We give it, and put
the price at the lowest possible figure.
See if your subscription for the FARMER
expires January ! if so now is the time 70
renew it. Two dollars will DO it, aud that
includes postage. If, however, you will get
three Of your neighbors or acq1aintauOes
anywhere TO join Sou We will give you 81
for your trouble, aud you may divide the
dollar equally among you four; 10 other
words, four copies for 81, including postage
