by placing its editorial department in the hands
of A. S. Chew, ksq. whose leisure and opportu-
mites, it is confidently believed, qualify him for
the task.
The 4,h volume Of the Farmer will therefore
be commenced on the lst Of January, 1873 and
the proprietor appeals to the friends Of the enters
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,
we'll the merchant, the mechanic, and profession
al man, as those engaged in agricultural and hor-
tcultural Dursuits-it will be his aim not only 10
improve the soil, but to cultivate the minds of his
readers, by entleavollng to inculcate sound prii-
ciples Of morality, ofindustry, and Of virtue: He
even believes that his paper may he made in~
structive and amusing to the politician, by with
drawing his mind for few moments from the
discordant Clashing ofparty warfare, to the calm
and dignified pursuits Of husbandry.
The paper will be devoted to agricultural pur-
suits, under which general head is compriscd-
the proper culture of the soil - improving live
stock-dseases of fanimals-mprovtmen in the
culture Of garden and field vegetables, and agri-
cultural and garden implemcnts-lomestic eco
nomy-botany -geology-natural history, Chems-
try, and improvemenlsin in the mechanic arts-,he
culture and manufacture Of silk, and of sugar
from the beet, and in general all subjects tending
to devclope the resources of rural industry. 10
these it is also intended t. 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

he found to justify the increased expense and as
already necessarily involve heavy expense, a
corresponding patronage is solicited and expected

portions of the great Mississippi valley. 1t is
therefore the aim of the proprietor to int, oduce
into its columns articles which NAV prove to be

vocate, excepfone which is common to most parts
of the district, the cattle business-He invites the
correspondence OF any persons engaged in this
business, who have any thing to communicate

the resources Of the Great West, or will aid the
proprletors of the SOIL and the emgrant, in cx-
tending civillzaticn and good husband,y.
Inc proprietor IS willing to encounter the Cliff
cultles attending the publication Of All apriculu-
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 ennobling to the mind
than agriculture. He is therefore determined to
/ persevere in despite ofdiscouragemeuts, of trusting
that the enlightened farmers of this country will
appreciate his zeal and reward his labor
