 farmer's paper — practical, reliable, and entertain- 

 ing. Twenty pages weekly, with liberal illustrations, 

 and complete market reports from all the leading 

 market centers. Ten different departments. It will 

 pay you in dollars and cents to read it a year. Sample

 want. Send the 5c in stamps and try it. They
