City and Country, published monthly at Colum¬ 
bus, Ohio, still continues to improve, and in size and 
contents vies with some of the older farm journals. 
The publishers seem determined to give a dollar’s 
worth for 75 cents, the subscription price, and cer* 
tainly their subscribers can not complain of the 
quantity or quality. 
The Christian at Work. Those who desire an 
evangelical religious journal, non-sectarian in char¬ 
acter, filled to overflowing with the best thoughts of 
the best Christian writers can not do better than to 
subscribe for the Christian at Work. In this excel¬ 
lent paper all denominations are fairly treated, and 
a welcome given to every good, from whatever 
source derived. Published weekly by J. N. Hallock, 
216 Broadway, N. Y., at $3.00 a year. 
The Tribune and Farmer, lately of Philadelphia, 
has changed its headquarters to New York, and its 
form from eight to sixteen pages. Its new form is 
much better than the old, and with its new type it is 
more easily read. As it numbers among its contrib¬ 
utors some of the best agricultural writers, we have 
no doubt but the success achieved in the past will 
be sustained in the future. The new publication 
office is at No. 20 Rose Street. Weekly, $1.00 per year. 
The Prairie Farmer. The efforts of an old 
and able editor concentrated upon a publication 
seem to give it a character and individuality that 
may be seen at once and easily recognized by his 
former friends and foes. The association of Mr. 
Orange Judd, formerly of the American Agricultu¬ 
rist with the Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, Ill., fully 
exemplifies this fact, and we congratulate our 
worthy contemporary upon securing so valuable a 
man as editor and business manager, and we have 
no doubt many of his old-time friends will become 
subscribers to his new venture. $2.00 per year, 
weekly. 
The August number of Dkmormst’s Illustrated 
Monthly is unusually interesting. Among the many 
articles that call for favorable notice are “On Foot 
and Four-in-hand in the Tyrol,” “Costume Portraits 
in the Paris Salon,” “At the Whitby Jet Works,” 
“Opportunities for Women,” by Jennie June, and 
“Earnst Moritz Arndt, Poet and Patriot.” Ella 
Wheeler, Eleanor Kirk, and others contribute ex¬ 
cellent stories, and the illustrated article on the pop¬ 
ular “Crazy Quilt” will prove useful to ladies. “The 
World’s Progress,” and the various departments are 
of interest and utility, and the illustrations excellent. 
The beautiful oil picture, “A Feather in her Cap,” is 
exceedingly attractive. 
Ogilvie’s Popular Reading. The seventh num¬ 
ber of this publication is at hand and is well worthy 
of the consideration of the lovers of standard works 
of fiction, and yet do not feel able to indulge their 
taste by purchasing the high-priced editions. For 
only 30 cents we have eight complete stories, either 
of which in book form would cost from 75 cents to 
$1.50. All printed in large type with handsome cov¬ 
er. We can recommend our readers to buy this book 
and see for themselves. Sent postpaid for 30 cents 
by the publishers, J. S. Cgilvie & Co., 31 Rose Street, 
N. Y., or from this office at same price. 
The Rural New Yorker has added to its edito¬ 
rial staff, Mr. J. S. Woodward, of Lockport, N. Y., 
an agricultural writer who has displayed a high or¬ 
der of talent in the columns of various journals to 
which he has been a more or less frequent contrib¬ 
utor for many years. Mr. Woodward has bought a 
half interest in the Rural New Yorker and will 
give undivided attention to the new duties which 
are fully in accord with his inclinations. He is 
known to many farmers as the disseminator of the 
Niagara grape, in which he had proprietary interest 
He is a member of the Board of Control of the New 
York Agricultural Experiment Station, and has con 
tributed many valuable suggestions to the manage¬ 
ment. The Rural New Yorker will undoubtedly 
be strengthened by Mr. Woodward’s work. The 
paper has acquired high standing through the efforts 
of Mr. Carman, who has been singularly successful 
as an editor and manager of an agricultural paper 
that had lost its prestige when he took possession. 
Mr. Carman may well be congratulated upon the 
acquisition of so capable a coadjutor as Mr. Wood¬ 
ward will be. 
The Cricket on the Hearth. We would call the 
attention of our readers to the advertisement of S. H. 
Moore & Co., publishers of the Crickht on the 
Hearth, on page 33 and to the Ladies’ Work Box 
Premium offered for six month’s subscribers.

The Newark Machine Company, of Newark, O., 
whose advertisement of the Victor Clover Hullcr 
has appeared in our columns for some time, lost 
their factory and a large nnmber of Clover Hullers, 
Grain Drills, Ac., by fire on July 5th. Their energy 
was not destroyed, however, and with the help of 
others who kindly tendered them the use of their 
shops, tools, Ac., they hope to be able to flill any 
orders for their line of goods after August 1st. Their 
Insurance of $250,000, in sixty-one companies, is 
sufficient to enable them to build new shops, which 
they have already begun.
