As an Advertising' Medium. 
We are pleased to note that our advertis¬ 
ing patrons almost unanimously speak in 
the highest terms of the value of Seed- 
Time and Harvest as an economical med¬ 
ium for increasing their trade. One of the 
most extensive advertisers, the publisher of 
the Agent's Herald , of Philadelphia, being 
determined to test the relative value of dif¬ 
ferent mediums, not long since perfected a 
plan of giving a different number to his ad¬ 
dress in each paper in which his advertise¬ 
ment was inserted, and then carefully gave 
credit to each paper from which replies 
were received. 
As a result of this we quote the following 
paragraph clipped from the Editorial De¬ 
partment of the Agent's Herald for April, 
1882: 
“Some time ago we made a proposition 
to the publisher of every newspaper in the 
United States for advertising space. Of 
those that accepted our offer the replies re¬ 
ceived from our advertisement in Seed- 
Time and Harvest, published by Isaac F. 
Tillinghast, La Plume, Pa., were four 
times as many in number as those from 
any other paper publishing the same adver¬ 
tisement. 
The following extracts from letters re¬ 
cently received from other advertisers also 
tend to sliow that it pays advertisers: 
A MAN CONVINCED AGAINST HIS WILL, WHO IS 
NOT OF THE SAME OPINION. 
"To demonstrate the uselessness of using such a 
medium as your (very creditable) paper, Seed-Time 
and Harvest, to advertise my business, I enclose 
copy to occupy one inch in January. I believe in 
giving the D—1 his due and if I can get a dollar’s re- 
rurn from the advertisement I will give you due 
credit, Very truly, Geo. S. Wales.

tisement in for one .year and perhaps for two years..

must say that Seed-Time and Harvest is the best 
advertising medium that I have ever yet tried.

From the Successful Prize Con 
testants. 
Terrace Apiary, Nokomis, Ill., May 8th, 1883. 
Isaac F. Tillinghast: 
Dear Sir: It is with great 
pleasure I acknowledge reciept of the First Prize of 
Twenty Dollars in gol J, awarded me by the judges of 
the Prize Contest, given by Seed-Time and Harvest. 
I also wish you to do mq the justice to acknowledge 
that I answered all three questions correctly, for I 
find by looking over my alphabetical list that I 
counted J. C. & J. G. Burrow as two and it being a 
typographical error I assuredly was not to blame for 
it. If you will recount the letters in handkerchiefs I 
think you will readily assent that I answered the 
third question correctly also. With my best wishes 
for the success of Seed-Time and Harvest and its 
honorable editor, I remain, 
Very Respectfully Yours, 
F. E. Price. 
Chinchilla, Pa., May 5th, 1882. 
Isaac F. Tillinghast; 
Dear Sir: I received yours 
of the 1st, which contained The Second Prize of Fif¬ 
teen Dollars in gold. I sincerely thank you for the 
handsome sum, and Seed-Time and Harvest shall re¬ 
ceive the benefit of my good words I assure you, 
Indeed I have spoken many already and I have the 
pleasure of feeling they are not unmerited. I think 
there are many item of practical information well 
worth the price of the magazine alone. It is alto¬ 
gether entertaining and instructive. Wishing you 
much success in your endeavors and Seed-Time and 
Harvest a long and prosperous future. 
I Remain, Respectfully 
Mrs. Clarence White.
