A large number of the farmers of this
county are regular readers of The Iowa
Homestead , and those who are not ought
to be. A good farm paper is now about
as essential to successful farming as are
good tools to farm with. There is no pa
per for the farmers of this section that
equals The Homestead , for itis thorough
ly well edited and thoroughly reliable
and practical in all its departments. Its
Special Farmers' Institute editions.which
are published monthly and are included
in the subscription price of $ r , are alone
worth the dollar many times over. They
discuss four or five timely and practical
questions each month , and all who con
tribute to the discussions are practical ,
working farmers. Now is the time when
farmers make up their lists of papers for
the year , and The Homestead should find
a place in every farm home. Send sub
scriptions , or for free sample copies when
desired , addressing the Homestead Co. ,
Des Moines , Iowa.
