The American Farmer for March is
full OF seasonable instruction, all of it evil
IDENTIFY from practical and able hands In the
agricultural department much space is given
TO manures, artificial and home made and the
work Incidental to the season is abundantly
treated. One of series Of valuable commu-
nicatons on Tobacco Culture is given in this
number, as well as many suggestions for other
staple crops. The live stock and poultry de-
partmeuls embrace many appropriate articles
The horticultural pages are unusually at
tractive. Fruit culture and collateral topics,
the cultivation of flowers in the garden and
the house, and, as especially suited to the
time of the year, the management of vegeta-
bic and "truck" crops receives special atten-
ton. One of the attractive features is the
home department for ladies of the household,
and another is the grange, news, addresses,
&c.

with Which our farmers ought to be well ac-
quainted, is Sl.50 a year, or 81 to clubs of
