Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 December 1897 — The Indiana Farmer. [ARTICLE]

The Indiana Farmer.

For fifty-two years the Indiana Farmer has been one of the great institutions of the Central West, the faithful representative of the agricultural classes, the leading advocate of all that is best in farming and stock raising, the foremost friend of the farmer and the farmer’s family. It is of the Solid, substantial, practical sort, presenting to its readers facts and experience rather than visionary theories. The “Experience Department” in itself is each week worth the price of a year’s subscription, and no

farmer of this section can afford to be without the practical and helpful hints and suggestions to be gained by a persual of these brief but business-like statements of the actual experience of farmers who make their living by farming. We notice, too, that the editors are giving a great deal of attention just now to the possibilities of the sugar beet industry, and they promise shortly to publish a special article on the subject, giving a vast amount of detailed informa-

tion, with illustrations, that will prove of immense value to all who are interested in this new departure. The Christmas edition of the Farmer is gotten up in handsome style, with a two-color full page illustration for the title page. Every subscriber will want a copy, and as long as they last they will be sent free to all who subscribe for 1898. Subscription price SI.OO per year. Address Indiana Farmer Co., Indianapolis Ind.
