A HOME ORGAN FOR FARMERS! 



The Lancaster Farmer, 



A MONTHLY JOURNAL, 



Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, Domestic Econo- 

 my and Miscellany. 



FOUNDED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE LANCASTER COUNTY AGRI- 

 CULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



EDITED BY DR. S. S. RATHVON. 



TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: 



ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM, 



POSTAGE PREPAID BY THE PROPRIETOR. 



All subscriptions will commence witli the January number, unless otlier- 

 wise ordered. 



This number of "The Lancaster Farmer," issued in January, 1879, is the first num- 

 ber of Volume XL The publication of the "Farmer" has been transferred by Mr. L. 

 Rathvon to the undersigned, who will continue it in the same form as it has been pub- 

 lished in the past, trying at all times to spare neither money or labor to make it a first- 

 class Journal for the Farm, Garden and House. It will always contain the same amount of 

 reading matter, as the advertisements will never be allowed to encroach on that depart- 

 ment. We have in view several slight changes that will make it more desirable to the 

 readers, and improve the appearance of it, but these changes they will notice as they are 

 made, and we refrain from saying more about them. 



Dr. S. S. Rathvon, who has so ably managed the editorial department in the past, 

 will continue in the position of editor. His contributions on subjects connected with 

 the science of faiming, and particularly that specialty of which he is so thoroughly 

 master — entomological science — some knowledge of which has become a necessity to the 

 successful farmer, are alone worth much more than the price of this publication. He is 

 determined to make "The Farmer" a necessity to all households. 



A county that has so wide a reputation as Lancaster county for its agricultural pro- 

 ducts should certainly be able to support an agricultural paper of its own, for the ex- 

 change of the opinions of farmers interested in this matter. We ask the co-operation 

 of all farmers interested in this matter. Work among your friends. The "Farmer" is 

 only one dollar per year. Show them your copy. Try and induce them to subscribe. It 

 is not much for each subscriber to do but it will greatly assist us. 



All communications in regard to the editorial management should be addressed to ^ 

 Dr. S, S. Rathvon, Lancaster, Pa., and all business letters in regard to subscriptions and 

 advertising should be addressed to the publisher. Rates of advertising can be had on 

 application at the office.
