'and they only cost 20 cents extra for

That's 5250 clear gain, for the $14

I paid for the Agriculturist. It was
through this paper that I learned
about both the cabbages and potatoes.

paper abounds in cautions nrniustthe
poor and unprofitable.
Mr. Smith. What say von, Mr.
TayUr ! Does it pay to invest 8150
in the Agriculturist ?
Mr. Taylor. Most certainly. A
hint in the paper led me to look after
certain insects at the proper time, and
the result was, I had .100 barrels of
splendid apples, which bronght mo a
clean $5 per barrel.nnd this you know
wns better by SI, than the average
prices here, or $100. Then I have
read so much about good and bad
Grapes, tho method of trating them,
