It is UNSURPASSED, if not UNEQUALKD, for the
Amount and Variety of the PRACTICAL INFORMA
TION it contains, and for the Ability and Extent of
its CORRESPONDENCE—in the Throe Chief Directions
of
Farm Crops and Processes,
Horticulture and Fruit-Fro wing,
Live Stock and Dairying—
while it also includes all minor depatments of rural
interest, such as the Poultry Yard, Entomology,
Bee-Keeping, Greenhouse and Grapery, Veterinary
Replies, Farm Questions and Auswers, Fireside
Reading, Domestic Economy, and a summary o
the News of the Week. Its MARKET REPORTS are
unusually complete, and more information can he
gathered from its columns than from any other
source with regard to the Prospects of the Crops, as
throwing light upon one of the most important of all
questions— When to Buy and When to Sell. It is
liberally illustrated, and constitutes to a greater
degree than any of its contemporaries A LIVE

sumers of every class.
