The Farmer's Magazine 



An illustrated home magazine devoted to 

 the living and growing things on the farm 



THERE are already 435 "agricultural" papers in the United 

 States and Canada, but Doubleday, Page & Company 

 believe that The Farmer's Magazine is not only quite 

 different from all the others, but has a real reason for existence. 

 The farmer of today who is tilling the land or raising live stock 

 for profit or pleasure, has come to appreciate the best; he wants 

 good printing, fine paper and the best pictures that can be pro- 

 duced. It is for the farmer and his wife that this magazine is 

 made, to be distinguished from an agricultural paper.
