SOMETHING 
FOE EVERY SUBSCRIBER to the AMERICAN 
AGRICULTURIST. 
A Great Work of Art, making a most Beautiful Ornament 
for the Home of every Dweller in Uity, Town, or Country. 
“IN THE MEADOW.” 
A perfect Plate Copy of the Great Painting by Julien Duprl, 
worth $4,500. 
Julien Dupre, one of the most famous artists of the French School, was born 
in Paris, where for many years his magnificent works of art, in the Salons of that 
city, have attracted the attention of people of all nations ; he is a pupil of the ar¬ 
tists Pils, Langee and H. Lehmann. 
In 1880 he received a medal from the French Salon, for one of his rarest works. 
Again in 1881 he received another medal, as a mark of distinction for his rare 
ability. This last and greatest of his productions, “IN THE MEADOW,” 
(Dans la Prairie ,) reached this country about the first of October, and is pronounced 
by our American Artists one of the grandest, if not the grandest of the remarkable 
pictures produced this year. It is now on exhibition in the gallery of paintings ad¬ 
joining the office of the American Agriculturist, where it is daily visited by large 
numbers of people. 
This picture is now being reproduced by our artists, especially for the readers 
of the American Agriculturist. There is no other reproduction in the United States. 
As above stated, the original painting is held at §4,500. Any of our subscribers 
desiring to view it, can do so until the picture is sold, by calling at this office. 
“IIV THE MEADOW” represents a farm scene of great beauty. 
In the distance are seen the farmer’s dwelling and outbuildings nestling quietly in a 
dense mass of rich foliage; near by are a group of cattle, standing or lying down in the 
shade. In the direct foreground is presented perhaps the finest engraving of a cow 
ever executed. 
The marvelous outlining of the animal are alike the wonder and admiration of our 
American artists who call to examine the picture. She has broken away from a 
stake (Pfahi), to which she was tied, and is moving off to join the other cattle. The 
peasant woman, to whom the cow belongs, has caught up the broken strands of the 
rope, and is endeavoring to bring back the wayward animal. The outlines of the 
woman’s face, the whole expression of her countenance, and her attitude are those 
of strength and determination, fully equal to that displayed by the unruly animal in 
her efforts to release herself from the grasp. Taken all in all, the farm picture is 
one of surpassing loveliness and beauty. 
This picture will be given to every subscriber to the American Agriculturist for 
1883, new or old, whether coming singly at §1.50 each, or in clubs. Subscribers in 
Premium Clubs will also be entitled to it. The Picture will be delivered at this Of¬

THE 
AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
The New Era upon which 
it is Entering. 
WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THE GREAT 
IMPROVEMENTS MADE. 
Before in the front rank of journalism, it now 
outstrips all competitors. Complete transforma¬ 
tion as to cover, paper, engravings, and printing.— 
Tribune, Johnstown, Pa. 
At the head of Agricultural Journals. Contains 
articles of general household utility, as well as mat¬ 
ters adapted to the farming community.— North 
State, Greensboro, N. C. 
Shows marked improvement in its illustrations, 
while it pays tribute to the prevalence of aesthetic 
taste in its new and beautiful covers.— Farmer's 
Review, Chicago, Ill. 
Whenever we take up this publication we always 
feel like throwing the pen in the waste basket, and 
going to farming.— Times, Bath, Me. 
It is greatly improved in appearance and make¬ 
up, and what was before in the front rank of that 
class of journals, now outstrips all its competitors. 
—Daily Evening Sentinel, Carlisle, Pa. 
It is not only a farm journal, but it is also a de¬ 
lightful paper for any household ; and when it is 
once introduced into the household, there is hardly 
a show for it to stop its visits, as it has too many 
friends among the wives, the boys, the girls, while 
its monthly expose of the various advertised 
humbugs parading the country makes it a special 
benefit to the “old man.”— Garden Grove (Iowa) 
Express. 
The magazine has always occupied a position far 
in advance of any other agricultural paper in the 
country, and that lead its managers evidently mean 
to main tain. — Daily Eagle, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
Its contributors are among the most noted writers 
and thinkers upon agricultural science in America, 
and new ones are constantly being added. The pa¬ 
per is valuable not to farmers only, but to all house¬ 
holds whose members are at all interested in nat¬ 
ural science.— Republican, Lansing, Mich. 
This valuable periodical, which for forty years 
has been laboring in the interest of farmers, has 
surpassed itself in the issue of October.— Indepen¬ 
dent Journal, Mechanicsburg, Pa. 
One of the greatest magazines of the kind in the 
world. The October issue is the finest ever 
published.— Courant, Columbia, Pa. 
It is the recognized leading agricultural journal 
in the world, and its authority in questions leading 
to out-door and in-door life is the standard.— 
Weekly Gazette, Driftwood, Pa. 
It is valuable and attractive alike for all, the busi¬ 
ness man, mechanic, farmer, grower, in fact every 
household ought to enjoy reading it— Everett (Pa.) 
Press. 
The American Agriculturist stands far in advance 
of any periodical of its class, and furnishes a vast 
amount of useful knowledge to farmers.— Suffolk 
Co. Journal, Northport, L. I. 
The American Agriculturist is bound to keep at 
the head of agricultural journals. It comes out for 
October in an entirely new dress, the cover being a 
fine piece of engraving, and the inside pages are 
set in a plain clear type.— Phoenix, Southington, Ct. 
It is now the ne plus ultra of American agricultur¬ 
al papers. The marvel is that the publishers can 
supply it to subscribers at the low rate of §1.50 a 
year.— Advertiser, Orangeville, Ontario. 
Of course, the enterprise and liberality of its 
publishers, keeping pace with the development of 
new ideas and new processes, will, as they deserve 
it, add other thousands to the already great army 
of agricultural readers.— Watchman, Greenport, 
The cover page, title head, and all the illustra¬ 
tions show the work of a master engraver, while 
clear cut type and pure white paper make up a 
magazine “good for weak eyes.”— Commercial 
Advertiser, Detroit, Mich. 
Our New Engravings. 
Mr. Geo. R. Halm, the well-known artist, has 
been engaged to take charge of the art department 
of the Orange Judd Company, and the wisdom of 
this arrangement is already to be seen in a new 
and very attractive and thoroughly artistic cover 
for the American Agriculturist.—Boston Post. 
Mr. George R. Halm, of New York, has shown 
his ability most effectually as a designer and 
draughtsman, as evinced in the American Agricul¬ 
turist.— Boston Times.
