"A EOxs 1aG EAnmGN!
The Western Rural, published at Chi
cago by Milton George. practical west
ern farmer, is the largest farm, family
and reform journal published in the
United States. 1t has profciently edited
departments for every branch of farming
and is faithful record of every step of
progress that IS being made in agricul-
ture. It INDUCES in no theories, but
deals only in plain, practical facts and
methods that will aid the farmer IN max
ing the farm more profitable. A large
part of its matter is composed of practi-
cal questions asked by farmers and an
sWered by practical men. 1t answers all
questions and prescribes for sick animals
free Of charge. It exposes all swindlers
who seek to prey upon the farming COM
munity, and admits to its advertising
columns none but reliable advertisements
For thirteen years it has been an I'm
finching champion of the farmer in his
conflict with the rings and monopolies
that have been robbing him. It started
the Farmers Alliance and is the friend
of all organizations that are for the farm
ing community. 1t was the first journal
to agitate the question of supervision Of
railroads and the first to demand legisla.
ton to protect the dairy from the IN
scrupulous bogus butter manufacturers.
In word 1t Is paper tor the farmer,
his wife and children, for the man who
believes IN justice between class and
class and for all who believe that pure
practical farm literature and advocate of
farmers rights should be encouraged.
