The AMERICAN FARMER was undertaken by

aud without correspondents; with view to
occupy agreeahly his leisure hours, and in
tie hope of elevating 10 its proper rank and
dignity in the public esteem, the employment
OF the HusbanlInan, which had been hitherto
regarded as having little or no connexion
with intellectual Improvement. Five vol
uneS have heen completed, under the in
ereaslng appreciation and patronage ot the
emmnnty, for whose benefit il WAS projected, !
udhe now leaves it TO SPEAK for usey'; deem
ns ii unnecessary, II MOI unheconIng, to ot-'I
III particular testimonials of the yalue of a
work, which has been SO long before the pub
LEX. This value is now derived almost eA
elusrely from the number, experience, ur
hthity, and various intelligence OF CORES
pondents residing in all parts OF the union;
who generally appear under their proper
names, use the Farmer as central and com
non medium tor the interchange OF their
OPINIONS and experience; and are known to
Tie country for their success rs Practical
Hqsbandmen, as we'll as tor their science anu
general attainments.
