B. F. Johnson will continue his valuable 

 ters from the North-west. 



J. H. Moore will give the very latest experi-

A. P. Ford, whose letters from Georgia have,

 features of the paper, will contribute regularly. 



Edwin Montgomery has in preparation a con- 

 tinuation of his articles on stock-raising, treating 

 also of the grasses of the South. 



John M. Stahl, whose letters on Farming in 

 Illinois have been so widely read, will continue 

 them. 



Hugh T. Brooks will keep our readers in- 

 formed of all that is of interest in New- York to 

 the farming community. 



" Steeles Bayou," whose experiments in cot- 

 ton culture have been so interesting, will give 

 the latest results of his labors. 



Dr. A. Oemler, of Savannah, Georgia, will

John Duncan has promised a series of articles

Waldo F. Brown, Seth Green, and other 

 writers, will furnish frequent articles on current 

 topics, and Colonel Bennett H. Young, whose 

 grapes attracted such attention at the Southern 

 Exposition, will furnish an article on grape cult- 

 ure. Ellen Ashcroft's letters, containing practi- 

 cal information on various subjects, will appear 

 from time to time, and regular letters from out- 

 valued correspondents, " Lois Catesby"in Chi- 

 cago, Mrs. Brown in New-York, Mrs. Robinson 

 in Florida, and Mary Marsden, also in Chicago. 



HOME AND FARM covers the whole 

 country with its contributors and correspond- 

 ents, and it is consequently the most universally 

 circulated of any agricultural paper. Published 

 in the central city of the Union, nothing con- 

 cerning the agricultural community escapes its 

 notice, and it is therefore double the service it 

 could possibly be if it gave attention only to one 

 section, or appealed for support only to one class 

 of farmers. 



Those wishing agent's outfit, consisting of 

 Premium List, Sample Copies, Subscription 

 Blanks, Envelopes, etc., should apply at once. 

 Outfits sent free to all who will try to raise even 

 a small club. Address

We feel a real pleasure in calling our readers' attention to these splen- 

 did watches. A careful inspection satisfies us that it is one of the most 

 beautiful, useful and thoroughly well made watches that ever adorned 

 a lady's person. It is indeed an extraordinary bargain.
