Mr.. Gales--I request of you the favor to
inform those respectable friends who have
interested themselves in the success of the
{" Farmers Magazine" that the patronage
proffered is not such as will justify its pub
LEGATION. The best service can now render
them is. torecommend to their notice the
< American Farmer" an Agricultural paper,

| Baltimore. An Acquaintance with this work
will prevent any regret being experienced
at the non appearance OF mine:

ownexpense, through the public papers of
that state, by the board OF managers of the
Agricultural Society.
! TO THE PLANTERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The "American Farmer" which is, as ap-
pears from its title, devoted principally 10
subjects relating to agriculture, contains
great variety ofmatter, the result OF actual
and well digested experiments, embracing
the whole range OF domestic and rural eco
nomy, such as cannot fail, if duly observed,
| 10 be highly beneficial to your interests
The great object of this society is, to pro-
mote agriculture, and thereby advance the
prosperity not Of themselves individually,
but of their fellow citizens generally. They
believe they cannot more eftectually, IN this
early stage Of their organization, promote
their object, than by recommending this pa
per to your perusal. They therefore take
| the liberty 10 recommend the American ar
mer as highly worthy Of your attention. BY
order of the Board of Managers.
