How TO Help. — The friends of the Illinois Far- 

 mer will find a prospectus in another column. We 

 desire to suggest a few ways in which they can use it 

 to advantage : 



1. Show the Farmer to those who are unacquaint- 

 ed with it, and tell them what you think of it. 



2. Send f<jr prospectuses, and put them into the 

 hands of those who will use them, and place posters 

 where farmers will sec them. 



Get post masters interested. They see every- 



„^,l re-: I T 



■Sflm1iiSOT-nrls< 



body, and are efficient workers, 



4. Send us the names of persons in your town to 

 whom we can send prospectuses and sample num- 

 bers, 



5. Begin now, before the agents of Eastern pa- 

 pers get up their clubs. 



This last hint is especially iniportant. Let us 

 hear from you soon. See terms elsewhere. 



^^- Clubs may be composed of persons in all 

 parts of the United Stutes. It will be the same to 

 the publishers if they send papers to one or a hund- 

 red post offices. Additions made at any time at club 

 rates. We mail by printed slips, which are so cheaply 

 placed on the papers, that it matters little whether 

 they go to one or a dozen offices. 



^^*" Correspondents will please be particular to 

 give the name of the post office, county and State. 



^^©^Specimen numbers will be sent gratis, upon 

 application.
