 attractive opportunity.

is unquestionably the leading agricultural and home magazine. It goes every month into more than 

 800,000 homes in every State in the Union, Canada, Mexico, and foreign countries. It was first issued 

 in March, 1877. Contains from 32 to 80 pages, according to the month. It is printed on good white 

 paper, in large clear type, and freely illustrated. 



The Farm Journal is cut to fit all subscribers, not only those of one section. It will be found 

 equally valuable in Maine, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Oregon, or Alabama. 

 It is timely, treating topics in season only. 



It is as practical as a plow and as full of meat as an egg ; no dry theory. 

 It is cheerful, full of life and humor; likes a grin better than a groan. 



It guarantees every advertiser to be honest, and was the first paper in the world to do this 

 (October, 1880). All medical advertising is refused. 



Few other periodicals, not even religious papers, can compare with it for cleanliness and 

 purity. Consequently, it is the paper for children and young people. It never has to be carried 

 out of the house with the tongs. 



The publishers spend all their time and efforts on the paper, to make it brighter and more 

 useful. They publish no other periodical ; FARM JOURNAL is not the tail of any kite. 



All is crisp, concise and boiled-down, with sparkles of wit here and there, and such a cheerful, 

 happy, sunny spirit throughout, that each page is an inspiration. You would hardly believe that a 

 farm paper could be made so entertaining and readable. It is entirely unlike 

 any other periodical in the world. 



We confidently commend it to every farm and village home in America. 

 We need say nothing of the AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, with whose 

 excellent qualities you are familiar. Here are our great offers :

Langstroth on the 

 Honey- Bee 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bees. It tells in a simple, concise 

 manner just how to keep bees. It was 

 originally written by Rev. L. L. Lang- 

 stroth, the inventor of the movable- 

 frame hive in 1851. The book has been 

 brought right down to date by those 

 expert bee-keepers — Dadant & Sons — 

 than whom there are no better nor 

 more practical bee-keepers in this or 

 any other country. The book contains 

 nearly 600 pages. It is fully illustrated, 

 and bound in cloth. Every topic is 

 clearly and thoroughly explained, so 

 that by following its instructions no 

 one should fail to be successful with 

 bees. Price, postpaid, $1.20.
