The Rural improves, I had nearly said, with every number, and it must be considered 
the model agricultural journal. Its influence for good I know is very great. 
Kansas State Ag. Coll. Prof. E. M. Shelton. 
What we like best of all about the Rural is the purity of its contents and its valuable 
information ; but we would like it better if its bright, piquant face would appear daily. The 
Beauty of Hebron is worth the subscription price, so we get the best agricultural paper free. 
Primrose, O. D> H - 
Right worthily is the Rural leading all its contemporaries in enterprise. May it continue 
long to bless our farmers and others with its ennobling advice and instruction. 
Nelson Slater. 
I am much pleased with the Rural. I think with it as a guide, we farmers need not be 
humbugged by worthless fruits and vegetables.
