Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1820-09-12

Extract of letter from Governor Lloyd, who
is acknowledged to be one of the most
wealthy, well informed, and best managing
farmers in the United States.
THE Farmer, so far, is the best Agri-
cultural compilation, in my humble
opinion, that have ever seen, and de-
serves the patronage of the public"
From the President of the Agricultural Socie-
ty, Eastern Shore of Maryland.
/" I am anxious to preserve the whole
of the work, and wish it was in the hands
of every farmer in the United States.
1t is by the diffusion of knowledge only,
that we can expect our country to i'm
prove in Agriculture, which thy paper
is admirably calculated to impart to all
who will take pains 10 be improved by
reading. Respectfully thy friend,
ROB. MOORE"
From an address delivered by Thomas Law,
Esq. President of the Agricultural Society
OF Prince Georges County.
Before l conclude, let me recon-
mend to you the American Farmer, a
paper which collects into focus all the
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
it equal to library for farmer.'
From Doctor Calvin Jones, of Raleigh, North
Carolina, gentleman of high repute for his
\ devotion to the interest of Agriculture, and
for his attainments in other sciences.
For the Raleigh Register.
1lr. GaleS--I request of you the favor
to inform those respectable fliends 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-
perienced at the non appearance of mine.
CALVIN JONES.
The following notice was addressed at their
own expense, through the public papers of
that state, by the board of managers of the
Agricultural Society.
TO THE PLANTERS OF S. CAROLINA.
The American Farmer" which is
as appears from its title, devoted princi-
pally TO subjects relating to Agriculture,
contains a great variety of matter, the
result of actual and we'll digested ex-
periments, embracing the whole range
of domestic and rural economy, such as
cannot fail, if duly observed, to be high
ly beneficial to your interests. The
great object ofthis society is, to promote
agriculture, and thereby advance the
prosperity not of themselves individually,
but of their fellow citizens generally.
They believe they canno: more effectual-
ly in this carly stage of their organiza-
ton, promote their object, than by re-
commencing this paper to your perusal.

commend the American Farmer as high
ly worthy Of your attention. By order
