REMEMBER 
-THE- 
MICROSCOPE. 
The great delight with which the 
Americiiai Ag'riciiltiirist itlicfo- 
scope has been received and used by those 
who have secured it, as shown by many letters 
which have come to us, assures us that it is a favor 
to our readers to call their attention to it, and to 
the ease with which it can be secured. 
Every member of the household, young and old, 
finds enjoyment and instruction in this valuable 
little instrument. The fields, the trees, the streams 
—almost everything around us affords objects 
which may be examined with interest. 
The American Agriculturist for March, contains 
a full description of this new and beautiful Mi¬ 
croscope. 
If you have not this number of the paper, and 
would like to see the description, write to us, and 
we will forward it to you. This Microscope is sent, 
delivered free, by us, to any part of the United 
States and Territories for S3—and delivered free to 
any actual subscriber of the American Agriculturist 
for 1884, for S1.25. Furthermore, we will present 
one, delivered free, and send the American Agricul¬ 
turist to any new subscriber, post-paid, for S3. Still 
further, we will present this Microscope to any 
present subscriber, delivered free to him, if he 
sends us two new subscribers to the American Agri¬ 
culturist for one year, at $1 50 each. 
Friends of Agriculture. 
Mr. Iiawson Valentine.— We infer from pleas¬ 
ant letters received from Mr. I^wson Valentine, dur¬ 
ing his European journeys, that he is collecting a 
large amount of valuable information, which, on hie 
return to the United States, will he utilized at Houghton 
Farm and elsewhere, for the benefit of American Agri¬ 
culture. His latest letter, received as we go to press, 
speaks of his going to Switzerland with his family. 
Mr. D. D. X. Moore.— The friends of D. D. T. 
Moore will be jjleased to learn that he contemplates 
starting a new journal. Mr. Moore failed at the hight 
of his prosperity, because he had distributed his means 
in too many other channels. He preferred to fail honor¬ 
ably, rather than get money by bogus statements of his 
:tual condition — from relatives, employees, poor 
inisters, hard-working printers, and the public general- 
—and then decamp to other parts. He is still here in 
ew York, and we shall publish an interesting article| 
om him nest month. ^ 
Mr. J. S. Woodward. —We welcome Mr. J.^ 
rWoodward to New York journalism. Mr. Wood^^^ 
has the enviable reputation of being a high-tor 
orable gentleman.
