The Rural New=Yorker for 1894 
Will present a complete and authentic record of the practice and progress of the World’s Agriculture. Never before 
have we been so well equipped for securing the most reliable information on matters of interest to those who 
till the soil. To old readers it is enough to say that all the favorite old-time features of the paper will be retained— 
changed only as maturer stu$y and experience may strengthen them. To newer readers we desire to call attention 
to several distinct and unique features of The R. N.-Y., which were originated by us, and only parts of which other 
papers have imitated. 
An Experiment Farm. 
Mr. Carman really started the work of experimenting, which has 
resulted in the establishment of 44 experiment stations, maintained 
by the government at an expense of nearly fl,000 000! Thh R. N.-Y. 
Grounds will continue to be conducted lor the benefit of our 
readers. 
Farmers’ Club. 
In this department of answering questions we have the help of the 
ablest mindB In the country, and any mistake or cloudy answer Is 
always corrected by the keen observers who take pait In our “ Dis¬ 
cussions.” 
The Prospect 
Is a department in which leading public questions are discussed In 
their benrlng upon agriculture. Here we have a careiul and candid 
review of Important public events tree liom partisan bias. 
Symposiums. 
Tub R. N.-Y. has this field practically to Itself. We have contilb- 
utois everywhere. When we submit a question to a dozen or more 
of them, we are sure to receive answers that lay bare all the lacts 
A consensus of opinion Is far more valuable than any sinyle opinion’ 
The Fertilizer Question 
Is fully discussed In The R. N.-Y. No other paper begins to treat 
this great question as we do. The great problen s ot maintaining 
fertility and .feeding the plant will receive special consideration in 1 894 
Our Illustrations 
For 1894 will bo better and more forcible than ever before. This Is 
a feature in which The R. N.-Y. stands virtually alone. 
A Few Good Things on the Way. 
One very attractive feature of The R. N.-Y. is its descriptions of prosperous and profitable farms in various parts 
of the country. We send a skilled reporter to farms where the methods of farming are such that some useful lessou 
may be drawn from them. We thus present to our readers, free of cost, the “ trade secrets” of men who have 
mastered some branch of agriculture. During the past year we gave over 40 of these descriptions. We have many 
more in view for 1894—a few only can be named here : 
Building- a Guernsey Herd. 
Last August the famous Ellerslle barn and herd were destroyed by 
fire. We shall tell how, within a year the great barn was rebuilt 
and anoiher great herd collected. 
Among the Tobacco Growers. 
We expect to give a detailed and Interesting account of the methods 
pursued by tobacco growers In the famous Connecticut Valley district. 
A Famous Jersey Herd. 
This will be an Interview with a well-known breeder who has made 
money selling butter from thoroughbred cattle. It will show the 
practical value of high priced cows. 
Sweet Corn Growing in Maine. 
A trip amorg the growers in a region famous for its sweet corn. 
Squab Farming. 
A carefully written account of the business of producing squabs or 
young pigeons. Never before written up. 
A Great Onion Farm. 
Talks with the onion growers of Southern Connecticut 
These and 50 other schemes are in mind, and will be worked out during 1894 Our readers may rest assured that 
no department of legitimate farming will be neglected. The •' policy” of The R. N.-Y. is to give its readers what 
they want and call for. Naturally, therefore, the paper is like a great weekly question box, and the greater part of 
our work lies in hunting for reliable answers. The Rural’s family for 1894 will become an organization for asking 
and receiving information in which the cooperation of every reader is desired, 
EDITORS RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
The Arlington Market Gardeners. 
The famous Arlington Gardens are known everywhere. Our reporter 
has spent several days collecting much valuable Information about 
gardening. 
Profitable Sheep Farming. 
Mr. J. S. Woodward Is to give us a series of articles describing his 
methods of growing mutton and lambs. There Is no higher authority 
in America. 
A Crop of Hops. 
A stucy of modem hop growing with special reference to the use of 
fertilizers on the crop. 
Wholesale Potato Growing-. 
Illustrated articles, describing the business done at Greeley, Col.— 
In fact we shall give more attention than ever to potato growing 
for 181.4. 
The “ One-Horse Jersey Farm.” 
One or more visits will bo made to this famous l'ttle place and special 
studies will be made of the poultry and of the Irrigating system.
