Sir. Greene — Why don't ton ruise j your price«. too T Mr Kuox. — People won't stand it I must keep along With no profit, or even at a loss, hoping for belter times, or else lose my subscribers, end lot the piper go down Why, when J rutted t .e price j from $1.50 to $2 a year, a good many; s opped the paper— among them Mr liruwu himself, though I paid him double for hit wheat. Mr Brown — 1 didn't stop it so much i f.r the price; I went in for paying for j my form by extra economy Mr. Knox — 1'ef, he followed my advice fur people "to economise and pay their debt* now." Il.it let u« ace if .Vfr. Brown began at the right place. 0» | one Saturday I published In my paper | that wheat had advanced 15 cents o ! bushel O/I Monday Mr. Brown Wciiy to market with his wheat,. and sold 60 j bushels at one cent udrsnce orer the i^il | price, and thought he did well. lie came home boasting about it, until he ! ; met neighbor Johnson, who got the 15 | cents advance, because he read my paper, and was wide-awake. Mr Brown's | loss on tlO bushels would payfour whole I years' subscription. | Mr Brown.— Tlan\ say anything more ' ! about that, Mr. Knox, and put me down | a subscriber for life. ; Mr Knox.— I hare beard of several nth. r such losses by those who stopped my paper. Not to be too personal, as ; sotue of tbera are here, I will call them A, B, C, rtc. Mr. A paid 4 percent. ■I more foes on $71 isles, because be did ! not sec the collector's notice in my pa- > | per, and thus lost $2.84, to nave $2 — Mr B paid $3.60 the same wey. Mr. ' C. failed to bring in his claim against ' an estate, because he did out see in ray i paper the legal notice limiting the time. | That, coat him $34. to save $2 subscrip- j ' lion. Mr. D. sold 200 pounds of wool ; at 02 cents, because be did not see an advertisement of Mr. Smith, right here at home, offering 70 cents. That cost him $16 to tare 2 Mr F'x boya went , down to the village every oight or two, to get the news and local gossip, because | hey hid no piper at home, and one ol them frll into bad company, and ia ruin- j «*d. I know twenty cases where people i money for uof learning what ia goi on. I gather up all that is going ) on in business and society, and condense , | il into my columns. It ia important for ! j every man to know all about home mat- j and I doubt if there is a man in : this whole town who would not, in the '■ ' course of a year, get s >me information, > that would pay him bark more than $2 1 year. And then think of a household j J sitting dowu together 365 days iu the j | year, and having nothing to talk about, ; I except their owb .affairs, snd a few item" : or gossip, gathered up by occasional con^ | tact with other people. j I Mr Taylor — Let me help Editor i i Knox's argument. Wifwfead to roe an ' he published about a humbug, : i which he copied from the American i j Agriculturist, of New York City. Next I j one of three same humbugs c»me 1 1 around with his article, and was so plan.": sihle that he almost persuaded her into j i I paying htm 8 dollars, for his swindling ; i recipe ; but the editor's caution kept her . ! Mr Knox — Yes, snd do you know t that the fellow sold more than fifty of i i lie humbog recipes hereabout, at $8 i ! c I t but not to ony one of my sub- \ « st-ribcrs. | f Mr. Putt t. — Put me down as a sub- j t ecribcr, Mr. Knox, here is your iwu dol- : lira. ; ! ■Mr. Shtyr — ,And me too. 1 j ■ Mr. Knox — Thank you gentfomen. j I Uy oud make a better psprtt, than . ever- Every dollar help* ; a new sub- J I ecriber only adds to my expense tbe cost ! t of paper.

e over. Why, I gat two ten-acr# fields [ ' ready'to sow to wheat, and put in one of them That night my Agriculluritt i came, and 1 read a simple rccoiuiuendae'i lion about preparing seed wheat. I l r called John and we put 15 bushels in p i soak for the uexf day. It cost 50 cents t ■ for the materials. Well, that second j I field yielded 5 lin.hels an acre more than - the other — or 50 bushels extrn. and bet- | ter wheat too. Pretiy good pay for j i $l 50 rX|>rnded for a paper. And 1 r have Iota, of other hints almost as profi- ; . isble. You know I get littler profits - on my beef, pork and uiutton, than »ny r other man in tbe place. Now this does . not come from any direct hint, like the , wheat, but from a good ninny suggesr lions I hat I hare picked qp in reading i ] the Agriculluritt . and from the course of y rgflsoiiing tlis'. I have been led inio. by i reading it. it what others do, and ihiuk, i 1 1 a ol say. p : Mr. Smith — Von are another sub- \ p scribrr to the Ayricultumt, Mr. West; • docs it pay ? Mr Witt —PfJ ? Yet. Yon know s what good cabbages and poULje* 1 had r last season. Why, the cabt^.-s were ; worth double any other in town, for mar- • kAwr for home use 1 had 400 heads, i «urub§ cents a piece, extra; and tbey j only cost 20 tenia extra for seed. My I , 250 bushels of potatoes are all engagpd I for seed at $1 50 a bushel, when other i 1 kinds bring only 50 cents Thills s250 i clear gain, for the $14 extra I paid for ►ced, and the $1.50 I paid for the AgriI culturiit It was through tbis paper - j that I learned about both tbe cabbages • and potatoes. Its editors are careful, intelligent men, ou tbe constant look- : out for anything new that is really good, ' while the paper abounds in cautions 1 against the poor and unprofitable. • Mr. Smith. — What say you, Mr. TarI l»r ? Dots it pay to invest 81 50 iu the | Agriculturist t Mr. Taylor — Most certainly. A hint > in the paper lad ma to look after certain i insects at the proper lime, and the rej suit was, I hsd 160 barrels of splendid i apples, which brought nn a clean $5 per barrel, and this yon know was better by j $1, than the average prices here, or 8160. J j Then I have read so much about good and bad Grapes, the method of treating j ihem, etc., thst I can beat the town in | raising grapes profitably. My son, Wil1 liam, got a kink In his head about Tomatoes, froth something the editors said, and seat for some seed. lie made more I money on tbe crop raised in his spare hours, than was cleared by half the farmers in this town. Mr. Smith. — Let us bear from Mr. ; Crane. # Mr Crane.— I only read In (lie paper what was said about hogs— what kind L: P»id best, how to feed them, and the j bat if you will call around and ire : my porkers, and my expense account. | I'il brt a pippin I can show fif y dollars more of pork for ths same money, than ' any other man here. And tbis comes from reading what other men think and ^d->. , But Wife ought to he here to speak. She and the girls read the Agriculturist ■ nrgt to the Bible. They think the house. | hold department ia worth more than all ; the fashion magazines ia the wdrld — , j They «ey il is so foil of good bints ebout ' : all kinds of house work All I can say , i that we da bavo better bread and | cuke ; and Wife says the cake don't cost i | much a* it used to. She has learned > : the paper how a hundred other : j do their work. 1 j Rev. Corey —Lei me say, also, that 1 | Crane and her daughters have 1 / added a good many beaaiifo^ but cheap | j homc'tna In fixtures to tbeir parlor and ( i sitting rooms, which certainly wake their , home more attractive. ' They told me, I I the other day, tbey got Ahese op from • : pictures nod descriptions in the Agricol- 1 • ; turiat. « Mr. Travit— My salary has not al- j ' : lowed ms to take the paper ; though I j : oinsl squeeze out enough to do so this j j My school boys have brought me t j copies to look at, tbe pert year or ' and 1 find the Boya' and Girla' de- 1 partmewt of the Agriculturist the heat C thing I ever saw.

Mr. Smith.- The "G-nesee Fanner" w ss ' j not really stopped. The Publishers of tho ' ; Agriculturist invited Mr. llama to join the i ' | Farmer to lha Agriculturist, and put his I I . whale force into the latter paper. They - | puid him a large price for his office, and i _ j moved it wiih everything connected with . | it to their offiee. So tbe Agriculturist is I I really two papers joined into one, and is • ' | better. I think we better go with Mr. i ' Harris to the Agriculturist,^ tint has been i ' | published for 25 years, nml ha> a hundred i thousand circulation, which, as Mr. Knot i Wins told u«, rupplin the means and fat'ili.
