Of Interest to Farmers.

There is not a mechanical trade in America but is represented by a journal in ite class. What trade is there that is of more importance, that requires more genius, and more careful attention to detail, than fanning? The worker in iron, if he wishes to prosper, knows that he must choose the representative journal of his trade, study the market reports of iron, and otherwise keep himself thoroughly posted. He relies implicitly upon the statements contained in his favorite champion of the industry, and is enabled to buy and sell with a firm knowledge, which surprises his negligent competitors. By careful perusal of the well-timed editorial comments, and the closely gleaned notes of interest to the trade, he gathers ideas which are to him invaluable. The farming community of the West are beginning to comprehend the fact that there are for them newspapers which give such clear-cut and well-defined ideas on the science of farming, that their trade, the king of industries, taken its place at the head of the long list as the art universal. One of the most prominent of this class of publications is The Western Rural and American Stockman, of Chicago. How proper it is that agriculture should be represented by such a worthy champion of its interests. The Rural and Stockman has long been recognized as one of the best journals of its kind in the world, the editor and publisher having been for years a successful farmer. There is no question, however scientific, relating to farming, but is answered in its columns in a free and comprehensive manner. Farmers will recognize that there is but one way to sustain a journal of this class, and that is to join hands in its support.
