TO the AGRIcULTURAL PUBLIC.
The proprietors and publishers of the
New England Farmer trust that the arr
rangement which makes Mr.. Pu:nam edi-
tor, will contribute much to the usefulness
OF their paper. During the last two or
three years, while there has been no one
whose time has been mainly devoted 10
the preparation Of matter for these napes.
il could not be otherwise than that The,
work should fall below the rank il mioht
take when conducted by one who made its
care his chief occupation. The work is
now 10 be supplied with that important
appendage head. Mr.. p. previously
a stranger 10 as, made himself fayofably
known by an address before the Essex
Agricultural Society in 1889. and by Ae
| part he took IN the agricultural meetings
at the State House last winter. The
lcharacter Of his performances Oh these oc-
casions bespoke his fitness for the place
j.. were anxious 10 fill as soon as the
proper man could be found. Without any
knowledge Of his circumstances or wishes,
We made application to him, and. though
for a time his engagements prevented his
/ giving US any aid. we are happy now in
securing his services. The opinions ex-
pressed TO Us since we announced the ar
Irangsment, confirm the expectation thai he
Il will meet our wants and the wants of our
readers. We know not where else the
man car be found who with MI. P.'s edu-
I cation. talents and character, has made
t himself SO practically acquainted with
/ icommon farming labors and operations
) who for month after month and year alter
: year, has used the axe, the dung fork, the
: plough and The scythe, for The purpose of
regaining the health which had been lost
!, ia the discharge OF professional duties. A
j mind. disciplined as his had been, by pre-
: vious study, would naturally familiarize
! itseffswith the principles of the business
a about which his hands were employed
!, and in which he took pleasure. His pre-
!. rious professional labors have given him
' that practice with ihepe which fits him
!. well to communicate the information he
has been acquiring. We believe. too,
: that he possesses a large share Of commpn
, seRse. an important qualification in one
. who is TO write for common men We
s give up the paper entirely 10 his direction !;
s aud we ask ouI friends to aid him geher-
j ousfy by contributions and Subscriptions
70 It is very desirable that our 1ist Of snbscri-
Z, z bers should be enlarged. and we sincerely
q hope that our friends wili aid us ia this
50 matter. Every. addition 10 the list con-
% tributes largely to Mr. p 3 enolpment
~ and increases both his means and bis obi;
20 cations 10 render the paper more valuable.
70 With this introduction We leave him to
II speak fer himself. JB.
