Farming Uncle has been around since 1967, and since 1977 has had an ISSN#  (0272-3417) of which editor/publisher Louis Toro is extremely proud. The bulk of  the publication is ads; ads for pen pals, mail order brides, maple syrup,  peanuts and candy, free gas, a lottery, the Humane Society, acupuncture, a goat  meat production handbook, National Wildlife Federation, the "No Fail 'Power of  9' Program", Electro Bike plans, gardening zines, seed catalogs, newsletters,  stamp collecting, real estate, mail art, aloe vera, a miracle product, and lots  and lots of ads for Farming Uncle. But wait, there's more! There are mini-rants  called Bits & Pieces, some that make sense, some that don't, things clipped from  late 1800s and early 1900s publications including illustrations, quotes and  motivational quips, and extremely short letters (one or two lines) to the  editor. Pervading it all is an absolute obsession with anything pertaining to  Native Americans, especially ads for things pertaining to Native  Americans.

I had a couple of poems published in Farming Uncle -- in the late 1980s I think. Nice to know I'm not the only one who's heard of it!
