 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 whicli 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 householdB.

 this matter. Work among your friends. The "Farmer" ia
