Let Every Other 
Farmer Help You 
Have you noticed that you are not especially impressed 
by any changes in farming in your own neighborhood, 
but that when you travel through another state you 
are looking for new ideas and 
studying the methods of these 
sections closely? 
FOR THE MAN ON 
A LITTLE LAND 
The garden is his first love, with the hen a close 
second. Then must come the dairy, the orchard 
and the field crops. The hen is the greatest money¬ 
maker, considering the investment and time re¬ 
quired, hence poultry keeping is universal, and 
in every issue of this weekly you will find much 
space devoted to discussion of poultry topics.

WHAT OTHERS THINK OF 
The COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
From California: "I want 
to congratulate you upon 
these articles. They are 
the most helpful sugges¬ 
tions that I have ever seen 
on the matter of feeding 
poultry, and 1 have read an 
unnumbered lot of poul¬ 
try journals.” \\ \y k 
From New York: “You 
have been a dear, good friend 
of mine for the past thirty- 
five years; 1820 times you 
have come to our center- 
table, and been used as an 
authority by myself aud 
farnilyalongwith the Bible. 
I cannot live without you, 
and I’m not agoin' to try, 
ias you are growing better 
with age.” E.A.C. 
From New York: "It was with some regret and many 
misgivings that 1 learned that your Company had taken 
over The Country Gentleman. It had always seemed to 
me the paper was particularly fitted for the general 
farmer of New York and New England, and I feared 
that the change in management meant that our end of 
American agriculture would be overlooked in the pur¬ 
pose of publishing a national farm journal. I wish to 
confess that I have been very agreeably disappointed.” 
H. V. A. 
FromKansas: “I am a 
farmer's daughter and a 
farmer’s wife and have in 
my time read numerous 
farm journals,but neverone 
that so dignifies the calling 
of agriculture as does The 
Country Gentleman." 
W.A.T. 
From Massachusetts: "In¬ 
closed find $1.50 renewal 
to The Country Gentleman. 
I do not wish to lose a copy. 
I think it is without excep¬ 
tion the best paper pub¬ 
lished treating on general 
farm life.” \y j

N just the same way by reading 
what the farmer of a distant 
state is doing you will get new 
ideas that will be helpful on your 
farm. The big questions in agri¬ 
culture are national and do not 
differ much in different sections; 
but the methods of meeting these 
difficulties may vary greatly. 
The national scope of a publi¬ 
cation enables it to bring together 
the ideas that are worth while 
from distant farms, and these are 
usually the ideas that you do not 
meet in your every-day work. 
The New York farmer has a fair 
idea of what is going on in his 
state, but the farmer in Iowa may 
be the one who can give him sug¬ 
gestions that are worth following. 
The Country Gentleman 
represents national agriculture, 
and brings together a weekly sur¬ 
vey of interesting and helpful 
subjects selected from the whole 
country. It is a magazine about 
everything in the country for all 
country people, whether they live 
on a small piece of ground near 
a city or on a distant farm. No 
J 
aspect of the business of farming 
and marketing, the life of the 
farmer’s family in his home and 
in his community, is of so little 
importance that it is not touched 
upon during the year. 
The personal side of the farmers business is the keynote of 
TFe COUNTRY 
GENTLEMAN 
The personal stories of those who are strug¬ 
gling with every-day problems in farming offer 
the most effective opportunity for explaining 
the principles which may have been over¬ 
looked, or pointing out wherein a little neglect 
has resulted in a big failure. More interesting 
than fiction, as gripping as drama, and more 
forceful than sermons are stories such as these: 
Our Living From Ten Acres. A struggle 
on a little irrigated farm. 
A Missionary of Better Farming. One 
man who is helping 1500 farmers. 
An Immigrant’s Pedigree Grain Farm. 
What two generations have done in seed 
grain breeding. 
White Curtains and Red Geraniums. 
How a farmer’s wife paid for the farm. 
Three Generations on the Same Land. 
An account of one of our oldest estates. 
A German Invasion. Accounts of these 
settlers in a Virginia county. * 
The Homesteader’s Gamble. Personal 
experiences of one of the gamblers. 
Mrs. Consumer Meets Mrs. Farmer. 
An interview with the head of the House¬ 
wives’ League in New York. 
The Town That Found Itself. How 
business methods put a New York village on 
the map. 
Purchase a copy of The Country Gentleman from any 
Saturday Evening Post Boy or Newsdealer, 5c. a copy.
