AiiSIi Fiit 



A MONTHLY JOURNAL, 



Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, Do- 

 mes fie 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 : 



ONE DOLLp PER ANNUJf, 



POSTAGE PREPAID BY THE PROPBIETOR. 



All subscriptions will commence with the 

 January number, unless otherwise ordered. 



Dr. S. S. Rathvon, who has bo ably managed the editorial 

 department in the past, will continue in the position of 

 editor. HiB contributions on subjects connected with the 

 science of farming, aud particularly that specialty of which 

 he is BO 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 o 

 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 should certainly be 

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

 exchange of the opinionB of farmers interested In this mat- 

 oter. We ask the co-oporation of all farmers iui-erestedin 

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

 only one dollar per year. Show them your copy. Try and 

 induce them to subscribe. It is not much for each eub- 

 scrjher to do but it will greatly assist us. 



AU communications in regard to the editorial management 

 should be addressed to Dr. S. S. Rathvon, Lancaster, Pa., 

 and all business letters in regard to subscriptions and ad- 

 vertising should be addressed to the publisher. Rates of
