THE BEST OF THE 



AGRICULTURAL WEEKLIES. 



The Country Gentleman is the Leading Journal 

 of American Agriculture. In amount and practical 

 value of contents, in extent and ability of correspon- 

 dence, in quality of paper and style of publication, it 

 occupies the FIRST RANK. It is believed to have 

 no superior in either of the three chief divisions of 



Farm Crops and Processes, 



Horticulture & Fruit-Crowing, 

 Live Stock and Dairying. 



■while it also includes all minor departments of rural 

 interest, such as the Poultry Yard, Entomology, Bee- 

 Keeping, Greenhouse and grapery, Veterinary Re- 

 plies, Farm Questions and Answers, Fireside Read- 

 ing, Domestic Economy, and a summary of the News 

 of the Week. Its Market Eeports are unusually 

 complete, and much attention is paid to the Prospects 

 of the Crops, as throwing light upon one of the most 

 important of all questions— When to Buy and When 

 to Sell. It is liberally illustrated, and is intended to 

 supply, in a continually increasing degree, and in the 

 best sense of the term, a 



LIVE AGRICULTURAL NEWSPAPER. 



The Volume of The Country Gentleman for 1882 

 was GREATLY ENLARGED by increasing its size 

 from 16 to 20 pages weekly, but the terms still continue

 tional copy for the year free to the sender of the Club ;
