The New York Weekly Tribune Agriculturally Considered.

JLhe. Weekly. Tribune, now more than thirty years old, lias kept up with the progress of the age in improvement and in enterprise. It devotes a large share of its columns to Agriculture, as the most essential and general of human pursuits. It employs the ablest and -most successful cultivators 1o set forth in brief, clear essays, their practical views of the Farmer’s work. It reports public discussions which elucidate that work; gathers from every source agricultural news, the reports of the latest experiments, the stories of tlie latest successes .and. failures; and wljatevei may tend, at once to better Agrito coinmend it as the first and most important of progressive Arts, based on natural science. Xhyru are hundreds of thousands engaged Iff” diverse pursuits who own or pent a ‘place,” and give some portion of their tiriie ta Hs culture and improvement. The Weekly - Tribune shows them how to make the most of their roods and tbeirhours, both by direction and example. No information equal in quality or quantity can be elsewhere obtained for the price of this journal. The Weekly Tribune appeals also to Teachers, Students, and persons of inquiring minds, by the character of its Literary contents, which include reviews of all the works proceeding from the master minds of the Old or of the New World, with liberal extracts from those of especial interest. Imaginative Literature also claims attention, lull in a subordinate degree. “Home Interests” are discussed weekly, by a lady specially qualified to instruct and interest her own sex, and the younger portion of the other. No column is more eagerly sought or perused with greater average profit than hers. The News of the Day, elucidated by brief comments, is so condensed that no reader can deem if diffuse, while given sufficiently m detail to satisfy the wants of the . average reader. Selections - tire regularly made from the extensive Correspondence of The Pally Tribune from every country, and its editorials' of more permanent value are liere- reproduced. In short, The Weekly Tribune commends itself to Millions by ministering to their intellectual wants more fully than they are met by any other journal, whie its regular reports of the Cattle, Country Produce, and other Markets, will of themselves save the farmer who regularly notes them far more than his journal’s price.
