None of the following publications have
completed their first volume, and many OF

definite opinion respecting such, would in
most cases be premature act; but some OF

at IS cents per annum. This monthly pa.
Der we are led to believe is destined to take
a high rank among agricultural periodicals ;
and we think it speaks we'll for the cause OF
the farmer, when men who have attained 10
some of the highest offices in the git OF Inc
people, are willing to devote their talents

not room for third.

effect on the agriculture Of the Slate.

Buckminsier, editor. This, we doubt not
will be valuable paper. though we are una
! bic to perceive the particular necessity for
another agricultural paper in that city, where
the round has been so !ong and ably oc-
cupied by the New. England Farmer. The
numbers already issued evince agricultural
skill, and proper spirit Of enterprise. There
is little leaning, however, TO tho thsGEs5 sjss

work of authority, published under the d.
rection!and patronage of the America Silk
Society. and we'll edited, if the three mum.
bers ISSUED may serve as a specimen.
There can BE- no doubt that the silk culture

than individual enterprise. remains to be
seen. Such publications cannot, however
be otherwise than useful, as directing labor
into proper channels, and thus preventing
mistakes and disappointment in the outset.
We have thus briefly noticed our agri.
cultural periodicals. and if we have omitted
any, will endeavor to give them place an.
other time. The list amounts to thirty two,
and nearly one half Of the whole are still
in their first year. There are probably
