Abstract
The Nelson brothers intended this realistic periodical to serve as an inexpensive publication for the sharing of information among farmers so that all farms might be more productive and the lives of all farmers made easier. Using one of their fictitious publishing firms, Nelson Bros. & Co. of Goshen, New Hampshire, the Nelson brothers offer the publication for fifty cents a year. In this edition the Nelson brothers provide farm notes, new product reviews, crop recommendations, prize money for the best name for a new variety of tree and condensed farm news arranged by town. Arthur Nelson provides an assessment of the ignatum tomato and Elmer Nelson assesses a new ever-bearing cucumber. The issue is presented in a two-column format.
