PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME VIII FOR
lSAg.
In offering to the agricultural public of the
United States, the prospectus ol, the Eighth vol
ume of the Cultvator, (lhe second ufihe New
Series,) we desire the privilege of taking our
patrons and correspondents famlinrly and cor
daily bv the hand, and thanking them most
heartily for the very liberal aid end supper, they
have rendered us, both by their communications
aud their subscriptions.
The Cultipator was established TO improve
and elevate the Agriculture Of the country TO
give proper tone to the morals and mind of
the farmer; to show him The dignity and impor-
,ancc of his profession; to store his mind with
useful knowledge, and convince him that while
oil classes are and must be more or less depcn-
dent on each other, he alone Of the whole can
make any near approach to independence. If
there is one thing more than another, which in
this country gives u man superiority over his
fellow men, il is knowledge and this knowl-
edge,-knowledge which is as essential TO the
success of the farmer as Of other men, it is the
design the Cultivator 10 aid i'll imparting.
In taking charge oil the Cntivutor, the Edl-
tors were aware of the ardnous nature OF the
undertaking. Under its former conductor, this
journal had already attained a very high cha
racier, and we might have siirnnk from the task
of sustaining the reputation 1t had gained, or
from the efforts necessary to still lalther elevate
its standing. had not the assurance OF aid from
the ablest writer's and the most experienced far
mers Of the countrv,-aid which our columns
will show has been and will be most promptly
and fully rendered.; encouraged us 10 the under
taking. How far we have succeeded must be
90 c. a., oE thn N fp
mine; but if AN increase ofsnbscriptiun beyond
any precedent in the history of agricultural
Journals of this country; if the almost unan-
nous voice ofthe public press in our favor; if
the multitude OF private yet fattcrins tcsimo-
mails we have received, added to circulation
probably treble that Of any other journal devu-
led to the agricultural interest. may be admitted
rs evidence, then we have certainly most abun-
dant reason to be gratiicd with our success.
IF our efforts to render the Cuiirator worthy
of the patronage it has received, no expense or
labor has been or will be spared. AS il is eve
rywhere received asthe exponent of the con-
diton and prosnects of Agriculture in the Uni
ted States, we intend that every subject con-
nectcd with the great interest in any part of our
country shall receive its due share Of nolice,
nnd its proper place in orr colums. The Cnl-
tvator will be record of all improvements in
the science Of Husbaudry; ofthc introduction of
new and important varieties of seeds and
plants; of the respective values and adoption
of the several improved breeds Of Horses; Cat
tie, Sheep and Swine, to different sections of
the United States; in short, it is intended to
make il work which shall interest, instruct
and be acceptable 10 all.
In the number, variety, and excellence Of the
Illustrations, the Cullvator is without rival,
either at home or abroad. This department
will be fully sustained, and increased interest
and attraction given by greater number OF
figures of American Animals, selected from our
best specimens Of all kinds, native and import
ed; by the drawing Of new Implements, Agr.
cultural and Mechanical; and by cnsravinss OF
such objects aswill be better understood, when
given with such Illustrations. The cngravlngs
and illustrations ortI,e present volume will be
nearly equal TO one hundred in number; and the
satisfaction they have given our patrons will
secure their continuance notwithstanding the
oreat expense they necessarily occasion us.
The sales of the Culivator have been so
great during the past year, aud the demand for
the hack volumes as we'll as the current one so
constant, that we have stcrotypcd each NUN.
bcr; and shall be able, now and hereafter, to
furnish subscribers with whole sets, or any sin
Gle volumes they may desire.

griculture, to those Gentlemed who have acted
as our Agents, to PoStmastcts generally through.
oil, our country,-in short to all those who have
50 generously interested themselves in our be-
half, in bringing knowledge Of our work to
the notice Of their friends, and in Obtaining sub
scribcrs; our most heartfelt and cordial thanks
are due. While we have endeavored TO make
uur terms such as to offer All adequate induce
ment and reward 10 those who are disposed
from pecuniaiy motives to interest themselves
in our favor, who shall still be indebted TO all
who will in any way aid us i'll our efforts to
make the Cul,ivator moro generally useful, ci-
ther by increasing its circulation or employing
their pens for lis columns.
Our gratitude is espccially due TO those gen.
tlemen whose numerous able and varied COM
nunicalions have given such an interest and
value to our paper; and we arc confident from
their well known regard TO the vital interests of
American Husbandry, that our appeal TO them
for their further aid, will not be in vain. We
