1841
PRAIRIE FARMER-Chicago
Illinois' Oldest and Best Farm Paper
PRAIRIE FARMER was the first farm paper published in Illinois and has worked consistently for seventy-five years for the advancement of the welfare and prosperity of Illinois farmers.
PRAIRIE FARMER was the first paper to endorse Dr. Hopkins' wonderful system of maintaining soil fertility, which is doing so much to increase the production of Illinois farms.
PRAIRIE FARMER was the first paper to recognize the importance of the county advisor work in Illinois, and has sup- ported and pushed this work from the start.
PRAIRIE FARMER is the only paper which has taken up political questions in Illinois from a non-partisan standpoint. Through the letters from "Bill" it has given farmers a view of the inside working of the state government, and revealed some of the causes of graft and inefficiency.
PRAIRIE FARMER was the first paper to publish com- plete articles and authentic photographs on the first outbreak of the Foot and Mouth Disease. It also conducted a poll of the members of the Illinois Legislature that convinced farmers that their slaughtered stock would be paid for, thus removing the principal cause of opposition to the work of the State and Federal authorities.
PRAIRIE FARMER stands for the Illinois farmer first and all the time, treating all questions fairly and honestly.
PRAIRIE FARMER doesn't try to tell the farmer how he should farm. He knows his own farm better than we do. But we do try to give him the experience that other successful farmers and experiment station men have, so that he can learn their ideas and adopt any that may look good to him. The PRAIRIE FARMER is newsy, cheerful and always working for the farmers' best interests.
These are a few of the reasons why PRAIRIE FARMER is subscribed for and read by more farmers in Illinois than any other farm paper published.

T HE Parrett Tractor enjoys a very
good reputation-everywhere you hear the Parrett Tractor spoken of by everybody in unusually praiseworthy terms. This fact is clearly and definitely the result of uninterrupted service in the fields of over one-hundred neighbor Illinois farmers.
This is significant, because, as a result of the successful performance referred to, our increase in business for the year just closing is 500 percent.
Your Tractor investment is important. It repre- sents so much ability to accomplish work. In this respect the Parrett offers more per dollar invested than other Tractors.
