Before | conclude, let me recon-

rays of light on Husbandry, which are
emanated from every quarter of the
globe--I have requested Mr. Skinner to
give an annual index, which will make

From Doctor Calvin Jones, of Raleigh, North
Carolina, gentleman of high repute for hrs
devotion to the interest of Agriculture, and

For the Raleigh Register.
Mr.. Gales-I request of you the favor
to inform those respectable friends who
have interested themselves in the sue
cess of the Farmers Magazine" that
the patronage proffered is not such as
will Justify its publication. The best
service can now render them is, to re-
commend to their notice the "American
Farmer" an Agricultural paper, pub
lished weekly by John S. Skinner of
Baltimore. An acquaintance with this
work will prevent any regret being ex-
peflenced at the non appearance OF mine.
