FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this large and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in another column by J. C. McCurdy &. Co., 

 of Philadelphia, the well-known publishers of Standard 

 works,) is not only the newest and handsomest, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind which has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

 general Agriculture, Live-Stock, Fruit-Growing, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home Life; telling just what the 

 farmer and the farmer's boys want to know, combining 

 Science and Practice, stimulating thought, awakening 

 inquiry, and interesting every member of the family, 

 this book must exert a inighty intluence for good. It is 

 highly recommended by the be-st agricultural writers 

 and the leading papers, and is destined to have an ex- 

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt

Dr. 8, S. Rathvou. who has so ably mauaged the editorial 

 department in the past, will continue in the poeltion of 

 editor. His contributious 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 whicti has become a necessity to the success- 

 ful f;irmer, 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 products sboiUd certainly be 

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

 exchange of the opinions of farmers interested in tbis mat- 

 oter. We ask the co-oporation of all farmers ini,ere8ted 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.
