Sir th —Yes, I tee the result, but I don't
understand it.
J- me* —Well, when we began here twen
ty years ago. I thought my-elf a good far
m. r, Out I believed others had good ideas,
l.io. and I na ie it my 1 usine-s to get at
th ighrs; some I found in the agricultural
and paper- others 1 picked tir, at tin
C i sty Fairs, by ashing Uomc the big things
w. -. r. i. -:i i often I've got a good hint
fr .i a reig'o-nr.
Smith —I ve always been down on this
' ba/. farm ig. l ut \ Mir crops stnggei me,
th-' vre real knockdown arguments. I'm
sick of the poor sh ov I get for all my
w :rk, aii-i am desperate enough to try any
tliing for improvement.
Junes —I'll giv* you my experience: it
may aid you. About nineteen years ago I
heard that some men who had been brought
up on farms had clubbed together, and one
of them was going to publish a paper,
wlii .-h should consist mainly of accounts of
hoc different farmers cultivated various
crops, and such like mutters. I se-nt for
the piper and h ve done so every year since,
and now I have nineteen large volumes. ■ v
erv page of which I have re-ad. a little at
a time, and the whole has not cost me the
produce of a single ae're. Why lam as
ton -hci when I think over the ten thous
and thoughts, and hints, and suggestions I
have tiiua What a blank would
be left in my head, if these thoughts were
taken away.
Smith. — But does the practice of farm- ;
era on othf-r kinds of soil with a different
climate, suit your wants ?
Jones—Why no, not exactly, perhaps.
Hut then, every th >u_ht I get from anoth
er. >'• i•/•>• 'i )>■ tc thiswjht in my oi.ru mint/,
an 1 thus I am constantly improving my
0 vri -kill n 1 practice. You see. I :ret all
tin brains I can lrotn other men's heads,
and 'romp >;t them wed in my own head
with a tui-ture of common sense, and then j
make the application to my fields. In that j
way, I have manured this crop of potatoes
with plenty of brain- The editor called
here last week on his Western tour anionic
farmers, and seeing my go J crops, hea-k
-ed tne to write out just hove I have treated
th.s field for years past, and I promised to
do it as soon as my crops are gathered. He
viil probably print it, as he constantly
prints ad such practical matters, and per
h ij - a bundled the i-and persons will read
it; and th u_h ml d;. else day do just as j
1 d, mmy will -eta new hint, and im
prove upon it. \ou may read it if you
Will.
S't i-:u — l would like to borrow your pa

Jones —Better t ike it yourself, for then
you will be more likely to read You will
find hundreds of plain talks about various !
kind- r>l CT 'ps, durin-jr a single year. Ont
hint gave five bu-ln Is of com on c-ach acre !
of a large field in a sin ale year.
>'//;< h 1 can't afford to take it this year.
Jotn —Y'-u would think nothing of
spending two cent- a week f.>r extra tnbac- :
co, or a cigar, or candy, and that's all the
paper will cost.. How (itHe a week it costs ,
to .-.upj ly Yourself and family with a large
amount of information through any good

Smith —Y hat arc the politics of that i
O *
paper.
Jones —lt doesn't touch polities. It i.-
devoted to such subjects as I ield and Gar
den crops. Animals, etc.. and has. Le-ides,
a good deal ah ut Woman's Work, which
wife siys is worth more than ten times the
lew pourivi.- of butter it e\>t3 to pay for the
p.>per. Then there is also a department j
Jor th*, young ".elks, containing many things
whh-h please the children—not mere trashy
smiT, such as is too often printed tor them,
but information that will have a good in
fluence on them. I would sell a dozen j
bu-l.els of wh< t to have my young people
get the go; d reading in that paper, but the i
average price of one bushel v. . 1 pay for it
a year. My John says he can pay for it
ea>y wish the eggs of two or three hens.
If I wi- u mnlntnie or menhant and had
only a little garden. I should take the pa
per to tell me how to make the best use of
the little plot; and if I had not a foot of
land I should still want it for my wife and
children.
Smith —Does the editor know anything
shout farming?
Jones —The editor who owns and pub
lishes the paper wa.- brougnt up on a farm,
where he learned to work He has siu-iied
all the books on farming, and experiment
ed ibr vears in the laboratory, and has be
sides. traveled nil over the country to see
what was dcir.g. 1 hen lie Las several xs
elates—Farmers, Gardeners. Housekeep
ers, who know what they write about, and
anions; iheiu all they do gather up a won
derful lot of iuforaiation every year. The
language, too, i -5 so plain, so hke talking
to V u. that I enjoy reading it. 1 hen, too,
everv pa; or ha- engravings. which show ex
act! v how animals and plants, and imple
ments. and household furniture look, much
better than words could describe them.
Among these are plans of buildings, that
help OM to pi.;n others: arid also tunny ve
rv fine large pictures, which are worth more
than the e.-t of the whole volume.
s —J suppose tho.-e engravings and
dvseripti n- arc partly to help the editor to
' -nori erti.;zer>
Jaxes —Not at all. Ike editor keeps
nothing of the sort to sell, so that he may
e i crfeetly cto praise cr condemn any
thing. according as it may be valuabe or

5.,./.! —J; th • cr slop te Ito our < art

J. -.f —Exactly. Soils and crops and
climates differ, but 'he general principles
of cultivation are the same everywhere,
and here is the benefit c-f a paper publish

Smith —I wish / had I must try that
paper a year, and .see what there is iu it
I can manage to - ive two cents a week.
J'JU'Z —Never tear If you don't find
it pay-. I'll buy your copies at cost, fur my
boys to keep.
Smith What did you say the paper is
called ?
J,n -—The American Ayriruiturist. It
is published in Xew York City. The edi
tor, though one of our country farmer-,
and living in the country, finds he can pub
si-h it cheaper there, where printing, and
piper, and mailing facilities are aii conve
nient.
F mith —llow shall I get it?
Jones —Simply inclose a dollar bill in a
i.'tor. giving your name, Post Office, Coun
rv, and State, plainly, and direct to OR
ANGE JuDl'. 41 Park Row. New York City,
or leuie a dollar at the Lewi-town Gazette
Office, the editor of which will send it on
for you.
Smith —When does a volume begin ?
Joii's —The twentieth volume begins Jan.
Ist. but all who sent! in the dollar now. get
the remaining numbers of this year, in ad- j
diiion to the whole of next year's. So if
you subscribe n w, you get fourteen months' ;
papers. The proprietor also offers some ;
valuable premiums to those who get up j
lists of subscribers. Send for the paper, j
and you may afterwards find * well worth
while to make up a club. Some 1700 per
sons have got good premiums in this way ,
during two years. Some of your German •;
neighbors would join you. perhaps, for the j
Ajricultn is printed separately in Gtr- >
man. I did intend to start a club myself,
but I have so many potatoes to dig, I can
not get the time. My sister-in-law in lowa,
got up a club last year, and received a pre- \
n.iutn of a 850 Wheeler & Wilson sewing
machine: an old acquaintance in Wiscon .
sin got two or three good firming imple
men*-, and a young nephew of mine in
Ohio get a beautiful copy of Webster's
great Dictionary. These things only cost
them a little time, showing the paper even i
ings and election day. Send in your sub
scription and the first paper will tell you
a.l about the premiums. I fbruot to tell •
you that every year the publisher also sends j
out to all his subscribers who want tlicm,
a lot of choice garden and field .-m/s.
S tnit'i —What does he charge for them? .
Jon s —Nothing; they are sent free, ex
cept the postage. They are of the best
kind, and one mny' Ig ' ' ve r
was worth more to me than the price of
the paper.
> r.u'th —I'll try it a year, any way ; if j
half what you -ay is true it will be a good
investment.
Jonrs —You'll fiud every worl I have
said true.
3 m' f h —l'll send this very night, while ,
in the spirit of it.
J,r,e. — Ho it, and you'll always thank
me fir this talk. Good day, I must hurry .
up digging my potatoes, I've such a lot of
; :.c-u.—thanks to a hint in the Agricultu
ral.
