FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION.

PUBLISHER'S NOTES. 



A recent number of Printer's Ink, the au- 

 thority on advertising matters, had the follow- 

 ing to say about this magazine: " Of the six 

 monthlies devoted to forestry and irrigation 

 but one gets credit for issuing regularly so 

 many as 3,000 copies. It is FORESTRY and 

 Irrigation." 



In the last issue of the American Newspaper 

 Directory FORESTRY and Irrigation was 

 credited with an average monthly circula- 

 tion of 5,650 copies for a year ending August i, 

 1902. During the succeeding months the cir- 

 culation has been growing rapidly and 8,000 

 copies were printed this month to meet the de- 

 mand. At the present rate of increase the cir- 

 culation will be 10,000 copies a month before 

 the end of 1903. 



Advertisers who wish to reach substantial 

 people will do well to consider the foregoing 

 statements. 



We note with regret that the December issue 

 of Meehan's Monthly is to be the last of this 

 valuable publication. This magazine has for 

 almost twelve years past been a leader in pre- 

 senting valuable matter concerning the higher 

 branches of horticulture and general garden- 

 ing. ISIeehatt' s iMotithly has undoubtedly cre- 

 ated in man}- sections of the country a love for 

 the beauties of nature. It has done much to 

 bring about a desire for the improvement of 

 gardens and grounds in suburban and country 

 homes, and its suspension is a distinct loss to 

 the field in which it labored. 



A number of new advertisements appear in 

 this issue of Forestry and Irrigation, 

 to which we respectfully call the attention of 

 our readers. This magazine is becoming a 

 more valuable advertising medium with each 

 number, and this fact is being appreciated 

 more and more by firms who are anxious to 

 bring their business to the notice of substantial 

 people. 



It is our desire to increase the advertising 

 patronage of this magazine as rapidly as possi- 

 ble, but no advertisements of a questionable 

 nature will be accepted. 



The Marble Axe Co., of Gladstone, Mich., 

 whose advertisement appears in this issue, are 

 the manufacturers of numerous implements of 

 convenience for campers, hunters, and lumber- 

 men. Readers of Forestry and Irrigation 

 who need such implements should write for 

 their catalogue. 



The publisher of Forestry and Irriga- 

 tion will be glad to get the names of persons 

 interested in the subjects to which this maga- 

 zine is devoted. No doubt many of our readers 

 know such persons, and if they will kindly 

 send us their names we will take pleasure in 

 mailing them sample copies of this magazine.
