TERN HORI1CULIUR
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. S. Chew, ESQ whose leisure and opportu-
mites, it is confidently believed, qualify him for
the task.
The 4th volume of the Farmer will therefore
be commenced on the lst OF January, 1883 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,
well the merchant, the mechanic, and profession
al man, as those engaged in agricultural and hor-
tcultural pursuits-it will be his aim not only 10
improve the soil, but to cultivate the minds of his
readers, by endeavoring to inculcate sound prill-
ciples OF morality, otindustry, and of virtue. He
even believes that his paper may be made in
structive and amusing to the politician, by with
drawing his mind for few moments from the
dlscordant clashlng ofpaIty warfare, to the calm
and dignitied pursuits of husbandry
| The paper will be devoted to agricultural pur-
suits, under which general head is cofnpriscd-
the proper culture of the soil 49, improving live
stock-diseases of fanimals-improvem in the
culture OF garden and field vegetables, and aeri-
cultural and garden mplements-domestic eco
Inomy-ootany-ge -geOlogy-natural history, chemis-
try, and improvements in the mechanic arts-thc
culture and manufacture of silk, and of sugar
tromthe beet, and'ln general all subjects tending
| to develope 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
oy cuts whenever the subscriptions to it may
ne found to justify the increased expense and as
the establishment and continuance of the DaDer
already necessarily involve heavy expense, a
corresponding patronageis solicited and expected
| it IS DeHefed that this paper may be made
valuable and interesting to the residents OF al
portions OF the great Mississippi valley. 1t is

useful TO all. He will not specify any particular
interest in agriculture, which he will spcciallv ad.

L he proprietor is willing to encounter the diff
Icuites attending the publication Of an aericultn
raj paper, because he believes there is no occu-
patton more honorable than the cultivation of the
sou ana no science, in the development of its
details, more pleasing and ennobline to the mind
than agriculture. He is therefore determined to
persevere in despite ofdiscouragemeuts, trusting
that the enlightened farmers of this country viii
appreciate his zeal and reward his labor.
