The Best of the
AGRICULTURAL WEEKLIES.
It is UNSURPASSED, if not UNKQUALKD, for he
Amount and Variety of the PRACTICAL INFORMA
TION it contains, and for the Ability and Extent of
Its CORRESPONDENCE— in the Three Chief Directions ;
of
Farm Crops and Processes,
Horticulture and Fruit-Frowing,
Live Stock and Dairying—
while it also includes all minor depatments of rural
interest, such as the Poultry Yard, Entomology,
Bee-Keeping, Green house and Grapery, Veterinary
Replies, Farm educations and Answers, Fireside
Reading, Domestic Economy, and a summary of
the News of the Week. Its MARKET REPORTS arc
unusually complete, and more information can be
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
qnestions— When to Buy and When to Sell. It is
liberally illustrated, and constitutes to a greater
degree than any of its contemporaries A LIVE
