| Dates | 1890-1899 |
| 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. The first article, written by Arthur Nelson, concerns the cultivation of Albany strawberries. The other two articles were both written by Elmer Nelson. One reminds farmers of the many benefits that come from taking good care of a farm and its crops; the other is on the virtues of the pearl bean, a novelty variety with a very high yield. The issue is presented in a two-column format. |
