AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
1873 .] 
IMPORTANT FACTS TO ADVERTISERS, 
IT PAYS LARGER RETURNS 
TO ADVERTISE IN 
THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
Than in any other Paper 
This is the testimony of those who have tried it* 
Its circulation is many thousands larger than any other paper or number of 
papers in which advertisements would cost the same amount. (See Table below.) 
It is adapted to, and read by, the intelligent, thrifty, buying and paying 
classes among all callings, trades, and professions. 
It is the most exclusive as to the character of its advertisements. No patent 
medicines, lotteries, gift enterprises, or parties not believed to be reliable, are 
allowed to solicit the patronage of its readers. This gives confidence to the 
readers to order from those who are admitted. 
The following Table shows the wide circulation of the American Agricul¬ 
turist. It is taken from our mail books, and includes only Post-offices from which 
our bonct fide subscribers are receiving their papers. Many thousands in addition 
are supplied through the News Companies,

These figures, which do not lie , show that the American Agriculturist is taken 
©7 1 
regularly at nearly Two-thirds of the Post-offices in the United States. It is 
also sent regularly to more than 800 Offices in Canada and other foreign places. 
To send a single circular, of the cheapest kind, to each of the above Post-offices, 
would cost more than a half page advertisement in the American Agriculturist, 
To send one to each reader of this paper, would cost more than ten times as much.

INVENTORS 
FARM IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINERY. 
The principles of their construction and use ; with sim¬ 
ple and . practical explanations of the laws of motion and 
force as applied on the farm. By John ,T. Thomas. 
With 2S7 illustrations. Price $1.50. 
The basis of this admirable work was an essay published 
in 1850, in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Agricultural 
Society, which was enlarged, and in 1854 published by the 
Harpers. It has been, and remains, the only work in which 
tlie principles of Natural Philosophy, namely, the mechani¬ 
cal powers, and the powers of water, wind, and heat, arc 
systematically discussed as applied to the operations of the 
farm. This work ltas now been most carefully revised by 
the author. It is much enlarged, and a great part has been 
re-written, while the illustrations, before abundant, now 
number two hundred and eighty-seven. There is not an agri¬ 
cultural writer that could he named more respected than 
John J. Thomas, or one whose judgment and freedom from 
personal bias in discussing new implements could be more 
implicitly relied upon.
