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 the majority of our sub¬ 
scribers, tvlto have been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as those who desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of the back 
numbers containing wlaat is wanted. 
Hack numbers of the 44 American Agri¬ 
culturist,” containing desired articles, or 
those referred to in the 44 BSasket” or 
elsewhere, can usually be sent post-paid 
for 15 cts. each, or SI.50 per volume. 
Clubs can at any time he increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by 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 $4, 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 
the 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. 
Bound Copies of Volume 40 (1881) 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 40 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 SoutU 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 
all others embraced in the General Postal Union. The 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in London, 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 230, and 
reckon the shilling sterling at 24 cents. 
Stead tfee AdvorJisingr CnSssmias.— 
Letters are daily received by the Editors, asking where 
pigs, fowls, seeds, fertilizers, machinery, etc., can be 
procured. We consider all the information of this kind 
that is given in the advertising pages sufficient, if those 
needing anything will only look there; we can not find 
room to repeat what is already plainly told elsewhere. 
Every page of the American Agriculturist , including the 
covers, is interesting reading, and should all be carefully 
examined every month. In addition to looking after what 
one may want, the reading of what others have to say, in 
offering their wares, etc., starts up some new idea in the 
mind of the reader.—Witen writing to any advertiser, al¬ 
ways tell him in what paper his advertisement was seen. 
Wise too Late.— A correspondent in a New Eng¬ 
land State listened to the representations of a tree ped¬ 
dler as to an apple which would come into hearing sooner, 
sell better and keep longer than the Baldwin, and ordered 
quite a lot of the trees. He has since heard that the 
variety is inferior to the Baldwin, and writes to ask us 
about countermanding the order. If an order has been 
unconditionally given, it would seem that our friend is 
obliged to take the trees, unless he can show that he was 
induced to order them by false representations. How 
he can prove this, when the variety is not recorded in 
the pomological works, we are unable to see. The in¬ 
quiries as to the apple should have been made before giv¬ 
ing the order. We have often stated that new and 
especially desirable fruits are not introduced by tree 
peddlers. Those who order fruits upon the representa¬ 
tions of these, repent doing so sooner or later.
