NORBECK & MILEY, 



Dr. 8. 8. Rathvon, who has eo 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 so 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 neceesity to all households. 



A county that has so wide a reputation as Lancaster 

 onnty tor 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 

 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 sub- 

 scriber to do but it will greatly assist us.
