TIME first number of the AMERICAN
Il FARMER, was issued on the Cd of April,
1919. 1t may now be announced as ali es-
tahlshed National work, adapted to all the
varieties OF our climate. since many OF the
most eminent citizens in all the states, con-
tribute by their patronage and their pens, to
its circulation andits usefulness
To make known all discoveries in the SCI
ence, and all improvements in the practice
of Agriculture and Domestic Economy--and
to deyelope the means and designate plans
Of internal Improvements generally, constr
tute the chief objects to which the american
Former is devoted. Ii takes no concern or
interest in party politics, nor inthe transient
occurrences Of the day.
The Farmer is published weekly, on
sheet the size OF large newspaper, and
folded . as to make eight pages--and to ad-
nit OF being conveniently bound up and
preserved in volumes. Each volume will
consist of fifty two numbers, title page and
an index and numerous EngraVngs 10 re-

articles brought for sale in the Baltimore

Terms ofusubscription dollars per an
mum, to be paid in advance. But for the
sum of five dollars, the actual reCeiptof eve
ry number is guaranteed. That, is, when
numbers fail to come to hand, duplicates
shall be sent until every number shall. have
been received.
As the Editor takes the risk and cost of
the mail-should subscription money mis-,
carry, he holds himself, nevertheless, bound
to furnish the paper
To those who may think the price of sub
scription too high, it may be remarked, that
on a comparison OF their actual contents, one
volume of the American Farmer, will be
found to contain as much as four volumes OF
the S Memoirs of the Agricultural Society of
Pbiladel phia; )" and the four volumes Of that
patriotic, and exceedingly valuable work,
sell for 12 dollars.

conducted in manner to answer the great
national purpose for which it was establish
ed, and that il is not undeserving the encou-
ragement of the Agricdturists OF the United
| States, the following testimonials are respect
| fully ubmitted--others equally conclusive,
might be offered.
