We heard recently of two farmers who cach came to the village with a load Of grain. Oue accepted the flrst offer of six cents a bushei over his previous sale. The othrr haring read In his local paper of an advance of 15 to 20 cents per bushei, held off until he obtained 18) cents advance, or $4 more than the other, on 33 bushels of the same qnality of grain. The paper cost liim f2 for a whole year. The above In stance was only one of several such gains during the year, in sales and purchases Did the paper pay t His family know what i-i ii-ii- mi ai honii' and abroad, and are g ,'owlng intelligent. Ouly last mouth a man hcre received one of forty or llfty "private coofldeutlal circulara," sent by mail to different partles, offering great returns for $10.

It is full of good, reliable iuformatlon about all inatters pertaining to soil culture, upou animáis, labor-saving implements, etc., for the farm, garden, aod household. It has a capital deparlineiit for the young people and little folks, and the four to flve hun dred buauliful and instructive engravingt giveu every year, are alone worth many times its cost, which is only f 1.50 a year: or four copies for $5 ; ten copies f 12 ; aud twen ty or more copies at $1.00 each It is a marvel of cheapuess, combined with beauty and real valué.
