In offering to the agricultural public Of the
United States, the prospectus ofthe Eighth vol

Series we desire the privilege of taking our

heartily for the very liberal aid end support they
have rendered us, both by their communications
and their subscriptions.
The Cultivator was established 10 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-
tance of his professions; TO store his mind with
useful knowledge, and convince him that while
all classes are andmust be more or less depen-
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 man superiority over his
fellow men, it is knowledge; and this know-
edge,-knowledge which is as essential to the
success of the farmer as Of other men, it is the
design ofthe Cultvator 10 aid in impartng.
In taking charge of the Cultivator, the Edi-
tors were aware of the arduous nature of the
undertaking. Under its former conductor this
journal had already attained very high cha
racter, and we might have slirunk from the task
of sustaining the reputation it had gained, or
from the efforts necessary to still farther elevate
its standing. had not the assurance of aid from
the ablest writers and the most experienced faf-
mers of the country,-aid which our columns
will show has been and will be most promptly
and fully rendered.; encouraged US TO the under
taking. How far we have succeeded must be
left for the readers Of the Culivator TO deter
mine; but fan increase ofsubscription beyond
any precedent in the history of agricultural
journals Of this country; if the almost unan
nous voice the public press in our favor if
the multitude OF private yet flattering tcstimo-
malls we have received, added 10 circulation

ted to the agricultural interest. may be admitted
as evidence. then we have certainly most abun-
dant reason 10 be gratifed with our success.

the United States; in short, it is intended TO
make il a work which shall interest, instruct

In the number, variety, and excellence of the
Illustrations, the Cultivator is without rival,
either at home or abroad. This department
will be fully sustained, ami increased interest
and attraction given by a greater number OF
fgues Of American Animals, selected from our
best specimens Of all kinds, native aud import

cultural and Mechanical; and by engravingS Of
such objects aswiIl be better understood, when

nearly equal to one hundred in number and the
satisfaction they have given our patrons will
secure their continuance Notwithstanding the
great expense they necessarily occasion us.

great during the past year, and the demand for
the hack volumes as well as the current one so
constant, that we have sterotyped each num-
ber; and shall be able, now and hereafter, to
furnish subscribers with whole scts or any SIM
