'The Best Farm Paper on Earth " 



BARNUM'S 



MIDLAND : FARMER 



Semi-monthly— St. Louis— 50c a Year 



A large IG-page, carefully edited farm, fruit, stock, 

 and home paper; departments devoted to every rural 

 industry; everything " plain, practical— seasonable and 

 sensible." It tells how just when you want to know. 

 Its subscribers say they "would not be without it for 

 ten times the subscription price." The recognized 

 agricultural authority of the Mississippi Valley. We 

 want to introduce it into thousands of new homes this 

 year, and — figuring on a basis of actual cost— offer it at 

 just one cent per copy. Thus, being a semi-monthly, 

 24 cts. will pay for one year; or send 10 one-cent stamps, 

 and you will get the ne.xt 10 numbers. Can you afford 

 to let this grand offer go by ? 



Send in your name at once, and— if you will, kindly— 

 add a few names of your farmer neighbors, for free 

 sample copies, and you will greatly oblige
