As complete and interesting as 
our patrons pronounced the Hand

will be greatly superior. In addition to its being Beautifully Illustrated, we propose to make several additions 
to it, which will render it still more complete and valuable. It will contain over One Hundred articles on different snb' 
jects j the Statistical Tables have been prepared with the greatest care, and the different departments will prove to be of 
great interest to the Farmer, the Merchant, and the Mechanic. 
This popular Journal has for 
many years retained the reputation 
of being one of the Best Family 
Journals Published in the 
United States, and as having the 
largest circulation of any 
Weekly in the West. It finds its 
admirers among all Par- 
ties, its Patrons In all Sec- 
tions. It contains but a limited 
number of advertisements, and is 
filled with an immense amount of 
entertaining, instructive, and 
amusing reading matter. 
■ Out of ten thousand testimonials from its (patrons in 
of the Weekly Times, we have room for ouly a few.

The Full Reports of the American Institute Farmers' 
Club, and the various Agricultural Reports, in each number, 
are richly worth a year's subscription. 
Ever since its commencement, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE 
has been an authority upon the farm. We make features of 
the Farmers' Club, and permit no question of interest to the 
agriculturist to pass without comment and advice. When it 
is remembered that this advice is given by one of the most 
conscientious farmers in the country, the reader may esti- 
mate its value. It has been well observed that a careful 
reading and study of the Farmers' Club Reports in THE 
WEEKLY TKIBUNE alone will save a farmer hundreds of 
dollars in his crop. We shall soon commence a series of ar- 
ticles on Agriculture by well known practical Farmers, 
which will add materially to the value of THE TRIBUNE 
to those interested in farming. As it is, no prudent farmer 
can do without it. As a lesson to his workmen alone, every 
farmer should place THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE upon his 
table every Saturday evening. 
The enormous circulation of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE 
enables us to afford it at a small profit on each copy.
