TERN HORTICULTURIST.
Published at Columbus, Ohio, by S. Medary.
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 moro fully insure its success.
by placing its editorial department in the hands
OF a. 5. Chew, Esq. whose leisure and opportu-
mites, 1t is confidently believed, qualify him for
the task.
The 4th 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
well the merchant, the mechanic, and profession
al man, as 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-
ciples of morality, ofindustry, and of virtue. He
even believes that his paper may be made in
structive and amusing to the politician, by with
drawing bis mind for few moments from the
dscordant clashiDg ofparty warfare, to the calm
and diSnltled pursuits of husbandry.
nc paper will be devoted to agricultural pur-
suits, under which general head is comprised
the proper culture of the soil - improving live
stock-diseases of neutrality-suspicious. in the
culture OF garden and field vegetables, and agri-
cultural and garden mplements-domestic eco
nomy-ootany- any-geology-natural history, chemis-
culture and manufacture of silk, and of sugar
fromthe beet, and in general all subjects tending
10 oeVelope the resources of rural industry. TO
these 1t is also intended to add occasional essays
on common school education, under the belief
that the best way of increasing the agricultural
wealth OF our people will be to improve their
minds.
In addition, the proprietor intends to enliven his
paper, and to illustrate the subjects embraced in
n oy cuts, whenever the subscriptions to it may
be found to justify the increased expense and as
the establishment and continuance of the paper
already necessarily involve a heavy expense, a
corresponding patronage is solicited and expected
1t is believed that this paper may be made
valuable and interesting to the residents of all
portions OF the great Mississippi valley. Itis
into its columns articles which may prove to be
useful TO all. He will not specify any particular
INTEREST," in agriculture, which he will sDecialv adj
vocate, excepfone which is common to most parts
OF the district, the cattle invites the
correspondence Of any persons engaged in this
business, who have any thing to Communicate
which they judge will be valuable to the public,
and he also invites the correspondence of all those
whose communications will aid in improving anv
branch OF husbandry - will assist in developing
the resources Of the Great West, or will aid the
proprietors of the soil, and the emigrant, in ex-
tending civilization and good husbandry.
ne proprietor is willing to encounter the diff
cultles attending the publication of an agricultu-
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 its
details, more pleasing and ennoblng to the mind
than agriculture. He is therefore determined to
perseyere in despite of ofdiscouragemeuts, trusting
that the enlightened farmers of this country viii
appreciate his zeal and reward his labor.
