DAILY, $10 A YEAR; WEEKLY, $2; SEMI-WEEKLY, $3. 
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, 
THE BEST AND THE CHEAPEST PAPER FOR 
FARMERS AND FAMILIES, 
Devotes a large share of its columns to Agriculture, employing the ablest and most successful cultivators to set fortli wliat 
they know of farming in brief, clear essays, elucidating and commending Agriculture as the first and most important of 
progressive arts based on natural Science. 
No other periodical has done more to imbue our farmers with the truth that the best instructed cultivator of the earth 
is far superior in efficiency to the strongest or even the most diligent. 
“Home Interests” arc discussed each week by a lady specially qualified to instruct and charm her own sex and the 
younger portion of the other. No column is more eagerly sought or perused with greater average profit than hers. The 
News of the Day is condensed, while given sufficiently in detail to satisfy the wants of the average reader. 
In short. The AVkekly Tribune commends itself to Millions by ministering to their intellectual wants more fully than 
they are met by any other journal, while its regular reports of the Cattle, Country Produce, and other Markets, will of 
themselves save the farmer who regularly notes them far more than his journal’s price. 
For the family circle of the educated farmer or artisan. The Weekly Tribune has no superior, as is proved by the 
hundreds of thousands who, having read it from childhood, still cherish and enjoy it in the down-hill of life.
