THE GREAT NATIONAL ^ILLUSTRATES 
RORAL, literary and family weekly. 
Tins Famous Journal entered upon its Twenty-Fifth Year Jan. .3, 
1874, and proposes to celebrate its Quarter-Centennial by furnishing a 
better paper tiian ever before. Its Founder and Conductor and It is 
Associates have resolved that it shall more than maintain its rank as the 
BEST WEEKLY OF ITS CLASS! 
Moore’s Rural has long been recognized as the Standard Authority 
on Agricultural, Horticultural and Domestic Aifairs, 
and as a Choice and High-Toned Literary and Family Paper, 
having ardent admirers in every State, Territory and Province on the Con¬ 
tinent. Indeed, it is the Best Paper for 
THE FARMER, 
THE HORTICULTURIST, 
THE STOCK GROWER, 
THE DAIRYMAN, 
THE HOUSEWIFE, &c., 
as it includes, among others, the following distinct Departments:— Apia¬ 
rian, Arboriculture, Dairy Husbandry, Domestic Economy, Entomology, 
Farm Economy, Farm Implements, Field Crops, Floriculture, Gardener, 
Herdsman, Horseman, Hygienic Information, Land Department, Natu¬ 
ralist, Pisciculture, Pomology, Poultry, Rural Architecture, Scientific 
aud Useful, Sheep Husbandry, Sportsman, Swine-Herd, Vineyard,— thus 
rendering it the most complete Paper for Practical Ruralists now published. 
AS A LITERARY AND FAMILY PAPER 
The Rural New-Yorker lias attained an enviable reputation, as its numer¬ 
ous readers can attest. The Literary and Miscellaneous Departments will 
receive increased care and attention, while no Department will be neglected 
— our aim being to excel in every and all features, and to furnish the 
best combined Rural, Literary and Family Newspaper obtainable. 
THE RURAL’S ILLUSTRATIONS 
Are Numerous, Varied .and Beautiful. Indeed, our object is to render 
the whole paper exceptionally Valuable and Acceptable. Its Reports of 
Markets, Crops, Etc., are alone worth double the price of the paper. 
TERMS, In Advance i—Only $2.50 per Year—less to Clubs, and great Inducements to 
Club Agents. Premium Lists, Specimens, &c., sent to all disposed to act in behalf of the 
Rural and its Objects. Address

We have been a constant reader of the Rural 
New-Yorker for many years, and have there¬ 
fore no hesitation in saying that neither any¬ 
thing contained in the prospectus, or the most 
flattering notice we can give, Is in excess of the 
real merits of the paper. We now repeat what 
we have oftentimes said bafore, that it is the 
best Rural Newspaper in the World.—Sioite 
Gity Times.

Consumers Importing Tea Co.,) 
No. 8 Church Street, 
P. <>. Box 5,509. New York City. ) 
This is a combination of capitalists to Bupply the 
consumers of Teas throughout tlio United States on 
the mutual principle. 
Wo have experienced agents In all the best dis¬ 
tricts ul' China and Japan to select Teas especially 
for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas to render us all 
the assistance they can In currying out our enter¬ 
prise, as we make a specialty of SUPPLYING CON¬ 
SUMERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make 
any prolit on our Importations), which will enable 
us to Bupply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ever been known, and of those fine qualities 
thf-t seldom reach the interior, being sold only to 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will take an Interest In our 
enterprise, and send at once for a circular with full 
explanations of how to proceed to obtain our goods, 
we remain. 
Most respectfully yours,
