In justice to tlie majority of our sub. 
scribers, who have been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are s«I. 
dom repeated, as those who desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of the back 
numbers containing wliat is wanted. 
Back numbers of the “American Agrls 
culturist,” containing articles referred to 
in the “Basket” or elsewhere, can al*» 
ways be supplied and sent post-paid for 
15 cts. each, or 81.50 per volume. 
The German Edition.—All the principal artl. 
cles and engravings that appear in the American Agricul. 
turist are reproduced in the German Edition. Besides 
these, there is a special department, edited by an eminent 
German cultivator. Our friends can do us a 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, and those who employ Germans will 
find this Journal a most useful and acceptable present. 
Bound Copies of volume 38, and of every pre. 
vious volume back to Vol. XVI. (1857), neatly bound, with 
gilt backs, Index, etc., are supplied at $2 each (or $2.36 
if to be sent by mail). See Publishers’ Notes,2d cover page. 
Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by the original members 5 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thus: One having sent 6 subscribers and $7, may after¬ 
wards send 4 names more and $3, making 10 subscribers 
for $ 10 . 00 : and so for the various other club rates, 
Terms to New South Wales, New Zeas 
land, Australia, Africa, etc.— To several in= 
quirers. Under the latest revision of the Postal Union 
Regulations the price of the American Agriculturist 
(eitlier 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, TI 10 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in London, to the order of Orange Judd Coin, 
puny. These can be readily cashed in N. Y. City at ft 
slight discount, which the publishers will cheerfully pay, 
For Club rates, (postage included), see our second cover 
page, and reckon 22 cents to the shilling sterling, 
Some Fish Hooks. —It is reported that a siuglo 
factory at New Haven, Conn., made 23,000,000 fish hooks 
during last year. If these averaged IX inch each, and 
were laid down end to end, they would extend 544 miles, 
or about from Washington to Boston. If only an inch 
long, they would extend 363 miles, or just the length of 
the Erie Canal from Albany to Buffalo. 
The Western National Fair Association, 
—The first show bill announcement for a fair for thg 
coming autumn, is from the enterprising State of Kansas.. 
It is of a new organization with the title of “ The Westc 
ern National Fair Association,” and is to hold its first 
exhibition at Bismark Grove, near Lawrence, Sept. 13-18, 
Over $30,000 in premiums are offered, and the largest 
agricultural and industrial display ever made beyond the 
Mississippi is anticipated. 
Old Fruit Cans. —If we should bring together 
and present in one article, all the various devices for 
utilizing old fruit cans, that we have published in the 
last 20 years, it would be a curious array. Every now and 
then a new method is added to make these cast off affiiirg 
of service. The latest comes from Baltimore. A friend, 
there draws upon them for a supply of tin. By beating 
sufficiently to melt the solder, the tops and bottoms com® 
off, the joint at the side opens, and the pieces that formed 
the body of the can are flattened out, and kept in stock. 
Is a patch needed under a shingle, does a knot hole or ft 
rat ditto need to be stopped; does the horse gnaw the 
wood-work of the stable ? A piece of tin is the remedy, 
“ Spring Poor.” —No animal should be permitted 
to fall off in flesh during the winter from lack of food and 
care. Especially important is it that the horses—upon 
which the spring work falls so heavily—should lie ip 
good trim when the spring opens; in good flesh, good 
health, and of course, as a consequence, in good spirits.
