THE GREAT ILLUSTRATED 
Rural and Family Weekly, 
FOR TOWN AND COUNTRY. 
The Rural, now in its 21st year, is not only the Largest, 
Best, and Cheapest, but by far the Largest Circu¬ 
lating Journal of its Class in the World! Na¬ 
tional in Character, Ably Edited, Superbly Illustrated and 
Printed, it is the 
Best American Weekly! 
It 1» the Standard Authority on all branches of 
Agriculture. Horticulture, etc. As a Literary and 
Family Paper, it is a favorite in many of the best fam¬ 
ilies all over the Union, Canada, etc. Indeed, Moore’s 
Rural has no Rival in its Sphere, and is the Largest Il¬ 
lustrated Journal on the Continent—each number con¬ 
taining Sixteen Five-Column Pages (double the size 
of most papers of its class). It is the paper for the East 
and West, North and South. 
THE BEST TALENT 
is employed upon the Rural. For example, its department 
of Sheep-Husbandry is edited by the Hon. Henry S 
Randall. Author of “The Practical Shepherd,” and othei 
standard works; while that of Dairy-Husbandry is con 
ducted by X. A. Willard, A.M., the best authority there 
upon. Amoug the recent accessions to its previously supe¬ 
rior Editorial Staff, are A. S. Fuller (late of Hearth and

The value of advertising in a journal depends somewhat on the number of its readers, but still more on their average, 
character. Some journals circulate mainly among those whom business men would find little profit in addressing. Thb 
Tribune is not merely bought and read by more persons than almost any other American journal—it circulates in every 
State, and in nearly every township throughout the Union, and its patrons are educators, merchants, professional men, 
master-workers, and leaders in almost every arena of inspiring and hopeful human endeavor. If it were proper to publish 
a list of them, it would appear that no other Journal does or ever did command the patronage of so large a proportion of 
the foremost thinkers and workers of its time. For this reason, it affords men in business a means of reaching those whose- 
attention they would gladly attract, such as is not found elsewhere; while its wide columns, clearly and fairly printed', 
invite the regard of intelligent readers.

PEACH CULTURE, 
Illustrated. By James Alexander Fulton. Price, $1.50, 
Among tlie fruits, the Peach, if not tlie most, is one of the' 
most important of all. It is so easily raised, comes into 
bearing so soon, and is so delicious, as well as beautiful, it 
is impossible that it should not he a favorite. Living in tlie 
very center of the peach-growing district; sharing tlie comj 
m'on interest felt in the subject; deeply impressed with its 
importance to the individual planters themselves, and also 
to the community at large; and believing that alasting hene^ 
fit could he done to both, tlie author has been induced to 
prepare tills work on peach culture. 
CRANBERRY CULTURE. 
Illustrated. By Joseph J. White. Price, $1.25. 
Tlie author of this work has aimed to embody, in a plain 
and concise manner, all the useful and practical facts which 
study and experience have yielded to the inquiring cran¬ 
berry grower of tlie present time. The business has in¬ 
creased enormously within the last ten years, and knowledge 
and experience have kept pace with that increase. 
Tlie endeavor lias .been to make this work as comprehen¬ 
sive as possible; and it is believed that it will prove an ef¬ 
ficient guide to all who may have cause to consult its pages; >

ly familiar with tlie whole subject. Tlie points of the various 
English and American breeds arc thoroughly discussed, and 
tlie great advantage of using thorough-bred males clearly ■ 
shown. The work is equally valuable to the farmer who 
Many years ago Mr. Moore justly earned tlie title of “The 
Napoleon of the Agricultural Press,” and Ids indomitable 
perseverance, tact, and ability in managing the details of his 
large business, fully justify the appellation.— Rochester 
Evening Express. 
The Rural Nkw-Yorkkr, which lias long been recog¬ 
nized as tlie very first among tlie best Agricultural papers, 
improves with each issue.—A. Y. Daily Times. 
It would not lie too much to say that Mr. Moore is with¬ 
out a rival in enterprise in making an Agricultural paper.— 
Vermont Farmer and Record. 
The Rural New-Yorker is rich in contents, beautifully 
illustrated, and complete in all respects.—A. O. Picayune. 
Tlie best Weekly Agricultural and Family Newspaper we
