The Lancastku Farmku is not only rapiilly work- 

 ing its way into favor at home, but it la winning 

 golden opinions from leading agrieultuniliBts and 

 men of srienee abroad, wlio are attraeted to it by the 

 wfll written anil praetieally iisefnl artieles of its able 

 editor, I'rof. Katlivon. Indications already received 

 by the publlsliers in the way of compliments, suliseri- 

 bcrs and advertisements for The Fartiter, indicate that 

 it could be sustained by patronage outside the county, 

 even if our own I'armers fail to appreciate it, of which 

 the publisliers liavc, liowevcr, no fears, as subscrip- 

 tions from the county are steadily coming in. Tlic 

 following, culled from the many compliments of the 

 agricultural ])ress received, is from tlie Minne Fanner 

 published at Augusta, of which S. L. Boardman is 

 the agricultural editor. It is one of the leading and 

 oldest agricultural newspapers in the country, being 

 now in its forty-third year : 



Among our excliangee, we have few that are more 

 welcome or more closely conned than TUe Laiicnnlcr 

 Fnriiier, published monthly at Lancaster, Pa., at 

 SI. 00 per year. While it is intended to Ije a local 

 journal merely, it is at the same time so ably edited, 

 so well tilled with judicious and sensible matter, and 

 so neatly printed and made up, as to be deserving of 

 a wider circulation than it can possibly have in the 

 county where published. Prof. S. S. liathvon — a 

 well-known writer on entomology, is editor. 



The agricultural editor of the New York Tribune, 

 who is not given to paying idle compliments, and 

 from whom a word of commendation has great weight 

 with farmers and fruit-growers, says : 



"The Lancaster Farmek, a monthly journal 

 published at Lancaster, Pa., and edited by Prof. S. S. 

 Kathvou, starts on its seventh year in an enlarged and 

 improved condition. It strives to develop local agri- 

 cultural interests, and should be well sustained."

Heading off a Congregation. 



Old Dr. Strong, of Hartford, was not often out- 

 witted by his i)eople. On one occasion he had invited 

 a young minister to preach for liim who proved 

 rather a dull speaker, and whose sermon was unusu- 

 ally long. The people became wearied, and as Dr. 

 Strong lived near the bridge, about the time of 

 the commencement of the afternoon service he saw 

 his people flocking across the river to the other 

 church. He readily understood that they feared they 

 should hear the same young man in the afternoon. 

 Gathering up his wits he said to the young minister : 

 "My l)rothcr across the river is very feeble, and I 

 know he will take it kindly to have you preach to his 

 people, and if you will do so I will give you a note to 

 him, and will be as much obliged to you as I would 

 to have you preach for me, and I want you to preach 

 the same sermon you preached to my people this 

 morning." The young minister supposing this to be 

 a commendation of his sermon, started otf in good 

 spirits, delivered his note and was invited to preach 

 most cordially. He saw before him one-half of Dr. 

 Strong's people, and they had to listen one hour and 

 a half to the s,ame dull, humdrum sermon they heard 

 in the morning. They understood the joke, however, 

 and said they would never undertake to run away 

 from Dr. Strong again. 



The Lancaster Farmer has abandoned its octavo 

 form and comes to us in quarto style — something like 

 the PRACTirAi. Farmer. It is published by Pear- 

 sol & (iEisT, 23 S. Queen street, Lancaster, Pa., and 

 is edited by that well-known Entomologist and tal- 

 ented writer, 8. S. P.atiivon. It is published under 

 the auspices of the Lancaster County Agricultural and 

 Horticultural Society. We should much rejoice in 

 the prosperity of our valued cotemjwrary. It is ably 

 edited and always abounds in valuable practical mat- 

 ter. It ought to have 3,000 subscribers in Lancaster 

 county alone. — The Practical Farmer aiirf Journal of

A lisping genius, having Imught some pigs, said to 

 his neighbor : " I have juth been purtlialhing thome 

 thwine^wo thouth and pigth. I want to put them 

 in your pen till I can tind aplath forthem." "Why," 

 exclaimed the neighbor, " my pen will hardly hold a 

 dozen I" " I don't thay two'thouglithand pigthi" ex- 

 claimed the lisper. " I hear you, two thousand pips; 

 why, you must be crazy!" Again, exclaimed the 

 man, angrily, "I mean not two thoughthand pigth, 

 but two thouth and two pigth !" "Oh, eh? Well, 

 the pen is at your service."
