The Eastern Publications though generally corduc
ted with superior ability, and furnishing much miorma
ton of valueio Farmers in every section of the country
are not sufficient adapted TO the wants of our aire
Farmers Modes OF llllage are here required entirely
different from thOs pursued III the old States and it's
preferable to have the results ofCxporiments in prairie
farming made known through an organ IN our midst
rather than through distant
But some one may say there are agricultural papers
now published in Illinois, why not become connected
with OF those rather than by establishing another
take from their support? This the Society hal hoped
to accomplish but It has been found impraclcabc-

OF such papers, thereby deractng from the support ne
coSsary TO make some few valuable and rendering the
many worthless. Two have hcen recently established

permanent foundation To them we wish perfect UGH

One great object Of the Society in publishing the
Uni AgUr uur!st, i TO furnish the Stockholders with
Agricultural information as cheap possible. Publshh
ers OF similar papers are doubtless acuated more or
less by phllanthropic motives, but they have also an
eye for their own benefit They publish for profit
But the intention OF the Society TO furnish this paper
