 department in the past, wUl continue in the position of 

 editor. His contributions on subjects connected with the 



; science of farming, and j.articularly that specialty of which 

 he is so thorouhly a master — entomological science— some 

 knowledge of which has become a necessity to the succeas- 



\ f ul farmer, are alone worth much more than the price of 

 this publication. He Is determined to make "The Farmer' 

 a necessity to all households.

' this matter. Work among your friends. The "Farmer" is
