THE ,,'LANCASTER FARMER. 



[September, 1879. 



A HOME ORGAN FOR FARMERS. 



A MONTHLY JOUEN AL, 



to Agriculttire, Horticulture. Do- 

 mestic Economy and Miscellany. 



Founded Under the Auspices of the Lancas- 

 ter County Agricultural and Horti- 

 cultural Society. 



EDITED BY DR. S. S. RATHVON. 



TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION : 



ONEDOLLpPERANNUtll, 



POSTAGE PREPAID BY THE PROPBIETOR. 



All subscriptions will commence with the 

 January number, unless otherwise ordered. 



Dr. 8. 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 farming, and particularly that specialty of which 

 he is 80 thorouhly a master— entomological science— some 

 knowledge of which has become a necessity to the success- 

 ful 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 

 ounty for its agricultural products, should certainly be 

 able to support an agricultural paper of its own, for the 

 exchange of the opinions of farmers interested in this mat- 

 oter. We ask the co-oporation of all farmers interested in 

 tills 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 eub- 

 acriber to do but it will greatly assist us. 



All communications In regard tothe editorial management 

 ehould be addressed to Dr. S. 8. RathTOn, Lancaster, Pa., 

 and all business letters in regard to subscriptions and ad- 

 Tertising should be addressed to the publisher. Rates of 

 advertising can be had on application at the office.
