containing a great variety of Items , including many 
good Hints and Suggestions which we throw into smaller 
type and condensed form , for want of space elsewhere. 
In justice to llie majority of our sub¬ 
scribers, who liave been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as tliose who desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
i cheaply obtain one or more of the'back 
numbers containing' what is wanted. 
Hack numbers of the “American Agri¬ 
culturist,'” containing desired articles, or 
those referred to in the “Basket” or 
elsewhere, can usually be sent post-paid 
for 15 cts. each, or $1.50 per volume. 
Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid l>y the original members; 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thus: One having sent 5 subscribers and $6, may after¬ 
wards send 5 names more and $1, making 10 subscribers 
for $10.00; and so for any of the other club rates. 
The German Edition. —All the principal arti. 
cles and engravings that appear in the American Agri¬ 
culturist are reproduced in a German Edition. It is 
ihe chief and best German Journal of its kind issued 
in this country. Our friends can do good service by 
calling the attention of their German neighbors and 
friends to the fact that they can have the paper in their 
own language. Those who employ Germans will find 
that Edition a most useful and acceptable present. 
Hound Copies of this Volume (40) are 
now ready. They are neatly bound in our uniform 
style, cloth, with gilt backs. Price at the office, $2. If 
sent by mail $2.30. We can usually supply, at the same 
rate, any of the 25 previous volumes, or from volume 16 
to -10 inclusive. Any ten or more volumes, in one lot, 
will be supplied at the office for $1.75 each ; or be for¬ 
warded by mail or express, carriage prepaid, for $2 each. 
Terms to New South Wales, New Zea¬ 
land, Australia, Europe, etc. —To several in¬ 
quirers. Under the latest revision of the Postal Union 
Regulations the price of the American Agriculturist 
(either English or German edition), including postage 
prepaid through, will be covered by 7 shillings sterling 
per annum. This applies to the above countries, and to 
ail others embraced in the General Postal Union. The 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in Loudon, to the order of Orange Judd Com¬ 
pany. These can be readily cashed in N. Y. City at a 
slight discount, which the publishers will cheerfully pay. 
For Club rates (postage included), see page 138, and 
reckon the shilling sterling at 24 cents. 
Trustworthy Directory for many Things. 
i ITiousands of letters come to the Editors every year (some 
with and some without “ return postage ”), asking where 
they can obtain from trustworthy parties, implements, 
animals, poultry, seeds, plants, fertilizers, and a great 
variety of other things, all of which questions we try to 
answer when we can. But nine out of ten of these let¬ 
ters, and much valuable time of both writers and corre¬ 
spondents, would be saved, if the inquirers would take 
the little trouble required to just look through the adver¬ 
tising columns, where usually, in one number or another, 
several parties announce the very things asked about. 
We mean to keep out all parties not trustworthy. If auy 
mistake occnrs, after all possible care, we can only ac¬ 
knowledge to having been deceived, for we do not admit 
any advertisers whom ice would not ourselves patronize 
when wanting the things they offer. (The Editors 
have the “veto power” over any and every advertise¬ 
ment proposed for these columns.) It will always 
pay to read through the business columns to see what is 
offered and by whom, and useful hints are often derived 
from reading what others say, and how they say it. New 
ideas are thus started in one’s own mind.— !£§P“ When cor¬ 
responding with any of our advertisers , or sending for 
catalogues, etc., it is well io state that you are a reader 
of this Journal. They will know what we expect , and 
what you expect of them, as to prompt and fair treatment. 
Hickory Nuts.—Fuller, Lehigh Co., Pa. There 
js no certainty that a choice variety of the hickory will 
come true from seed ; some of the trees may produce 
even better nuts than those planted. Grafting is very 
difficult. Borne have had success by grafting roots well 
I below the surface of the soil, and covering the graft 
I with earth all but one bud.
