The time has passed for the weekly jour
nal of the city to fill the place of news
paper. The daily newspaper from the
great centres Ofnews now reaches into every
section of the land. Every inland city and
every town of importance have their daily
newspapers, and the local weekly, with the
wonderful progress in provincial journa-
lism, meets every want that the daily news
paper fails to supply. The metropolitan
weekly of to-day must be much more than
newspaper; it must be a magazine of
family reading: it must lead the magazine
in popular literature; it must lead it in
popular illustration, and it must meet every
requirement of the intelligent reader of
every class.

Very Nice Offer.

The Kansas Farmer, published at To-
peka, now in its twenty-second year, 16-
page agricultural paper, is unquestionably
the best paper of its class in the country
for farmers of this state. Every issue
contains more or less matter especially
prepared for it by farmers, stock-raisers,
dairymen, poultry and bee-keepers, horti-
culturists, and others engaged in the prac-
tical work of agriculture. The crop,
stock and weather reports are specially
valuable. 1t publishes the stray list for
the entire state, and copy is regular
ly mailed to every county clerks
office for filing. The editor was trained
to farm life and work from his childhood,
and he knows what farmers need. And
there is always page or more of the pa
per devoted to matter for family reading.
A copy of the Farmer can be seen at this
Office ny.time.
The regular subscription price of the
Kansas Farmer is $1.5O year; but we
have special contract with the publish
ers by which we are enabled to offer it in
connection with the WORLD, both papers
one year for $3.50.
