farmer, tho Proprietor announces to his Patrons

of A. S. Chew, Esq. whose leisure and opportu-
mites, it is confidently believed, qualify him for
the task.
The proprietor is willing to encounter the diff
cultes attending the publication of an agrcultu-
raj paper, because he believes there is no occu-
patton more honorable than the cultivation of the
soil - and no science, in the development of it's
details, more pleasing and ennoblng to the mind
than agriculture. He is therefore determined to
persevere in despite ofdisCouragemeuts, trusting
THAT the enlightened farmers of this country will
appreciate his zeal and reward his labor.
The 4th volume of the Farmer will therefore
be commenced on the 1st 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
well the merchant, the mechanic, and profession
al man, as those engaged in agricultural and hor-
ticutural pursuits-t will be his aim not only 10
improve the soil, but to cultivate the minds of his
lreaders by endeavoring to inculcate sound prn-
IciPles of morality, ofndustry, and of virtue He
even believes that his paper may be made in
lstructlve and amusing to the politician, by with
drawing his mind for a few moments from the
dlscordant clashing ofparty warfare, to the calm
and dgnifcd pursuits of husbandry

suits, under which general head is comprised-
