In commencing the fourth volume of the Ohio
farmer, tho Proprietor announces to his Patrons
and the public, that he has made arrangements
which he trusts will more fully insure its success,
|by placing its editorial department in the hands
|ot A. 5. Chew, Esq whose leisure and opportu-
mites, it is confidently believed, qualify him for
tn e task.
The 9TH volume of the Farmer will therefore
be commenced on the lst Of January, 1888 and
the proprietor appeals to the friends Of the enter
prise to assist him with their correspondence, and
to aid him in its circulation. He hopes to make
his paper useful to all classes of individuals as
we'll the merchant, the mechanic, and profession
al man, those engaged in agricultural and hor-
tCultural pursults-it will be his aim not only 10
improve the soil, but to cultivate the minds Of his
readers, by endeavoring to inculcate sound prin-
Iciples of morality, ofindustry, and of virtue. He
even believes that his paper may be made in
structive and amusing to ,he politician, by with
drawing his mind for a few moments from the
discordant clashing ,fparty warfare, to the calm
and dignlficd pursuits Of husbandry.
The paper will be devoted to agricultural pur-
suits, under which general head is comprseu-

valuable and interesting to the residents of all
portions of the great Mississippi valley. 1t is

into its columns articles which may prove to be
useful TO all. He will not specify any particular

vocate. exceptone which iscommoa to most parts
OF the district the cattle busness.-He invites the

branch OF husbandry - will assist in developing
the resources Of the Great West, or viii aid the
proPretors OF the soil, and the emigrapt, in ex-
tending civilization and good husbandry.

culties attending the publication of an asricultu

patton more honorable than the cultivation of the
soil - and no science, in the development Of it's
details, more pleasing and ennobling to the mind
than agriculture He is therefore determined to

that the enlightened farmers of this country will
