Contimieci from i>, 87, 
" Astoiiislicd.""— One of our good adver- 
tisers wrote February 0, expressing; pui-prise (.ratifying 
of coui-.-Je) at tlic number of intelligent letters already re- 
ceived at that date, from a brief advertisement in tlio 
February American Agrkiillnrist, tUese letters coming 
from an area with a constant widening diameter, whicll 
had up to that date extended away to Kansas. Wc EUS- 
pect tliey are 6t;l! more surprised by this time, especially 
if their experience is like that of another of our advcrlis- 
crs ivho offered a pamphlet to such as desired to Bend for 
it. Ilis advertisement was ordered for two months, and an 
edition of 500 of the pamphlets were printed at a cost in- 
clndingpostagcoflO cents each. Before the second inser- 
tion, be wrote, post-hast", to "stop that advertieemenl ; it 
will break me; over 1 3,000 pamphlets have already been 
called for, and ' still they come.' " lie was '-astonished," 
but we were not. The fact is, this journal reaches Iho 
great mass, tens of tliousands upon tons of thousands, of 
tlie wide-awake intelligent people, farmers, and almost 
all otlier classes throughout our own country, and iu 
other lands. And as they learn of our rules shutting out 
linmbugs, medicines, unreliable dealers, elc, they pat- 
ronize our advertisers freely and with confidence. We 
know there is no other advertising medium in the world 
more valuable. Our old and Largo advertisers who have 
used this journal for many years all say so, and it stands 
to reason that it should bo so. The select and reliable 
character of the advertisements, their neat printing on 
small pages where they are readily seen, and the long 
time each paper i< before the readers for study and refcr- 
cuce, are all useful to the advertiser. 
Metallic ISiit(or I»ail.— "L. W. P.", 
Marshfleld, Yt. Butter for ebipmcnt to foreign coun- 
tries should be packed iu tin-pails, with water tight cov- 
ers. The brine does not corrode the tin, and the expe- 
rience 60 far witll these packages is favorable. There 
are many important points iu favor of metallic packages, 
such as cheapness, cleanliness, freedom from loss of 
weight, and loss of quality in transit and storage. The 
Metallic Butter Package Co., 1.50 Chambers St., New 
York, are now making a tin-pail with close fitting wood- 
en cover, and weighing only 5 Ibe., which seems to bo 
what ia wanted by dairymen.
