 Saving Machinery, Modern and useful Implements of Hus- 

 Janrfr^, etc. will be conspicuously displayed in its columns.

 nia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, North 

 Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, 

 Mississippi, and is being introduced into other States, and

 in this field of industrial enterprise. 



In addition to the circulation which The Farmer has 

 by subscription, it is regularly forwarded to Magazine 

 and Periodical Dealers at all the principal points South 

 of the Potomac. 



The very fine adverising custom which has been at- 

 tracted to The Farmer, is a satisfactory guarantee with 

 which the publication of such a work at this time has 

 been received by the public.
