The Eastern Publications. though generally co~duc
ted WI superior ability, and furnishing much ln!oma
ton OF value 10 Farmers every section OF the country
not sufficient adapted TO the wants ofonr Prairie
Farmers, Modes OF tage are here required entirely
different from thos pursued III the old and it is
pre2rab 10 have the results of experiments in prairie
farming made known through organ III our midst
rather than through distant one.
But some one may say, there agricultural papers
now published IN Illinois, why not become connected
with one OF those rather, than by establishing another
take from their support? This the Society had hoped
10 accomplish, but 1t has been found ilnpracticablc-
We should much regret The cassary multiplication
of such papers, thereby detractng from the support ne
cessary to make some few valuable and rendering the
many worthless Two have hoen recently established
IN Illinois, and we are pleased 10 learn hey on a
permanent foundation 10 them we wish perfect such
and trust lhcy will view less rivals than az
co laborers in this important field Of usefulness.
One great object Ot the Soci,ty in publishing the
I'm nAgriCuturst, is to furnish the Stockhold with
Agricultural Information IS cheap possible. Pb!sh
ers OF SIMILAR papers are doubtless acuated laore or
less by phlanthropic motives but they have aso an
eye for their own benefit They publish for profit
But the intention the Society is to furnish this paper
TO subscribers at The actual cost. When from the in
crease of subscriptions becomes profitable as now
publlsh'd 1t will probably be either enlarged and i'm
proved 0f the price reduced. ExertOns viii be made
make extracts that may be servlctabIe 10 Prairie Far
mers. Several original contributors have promshed
their aid and the number of these will be increased
Reports OF Committees appointed by The Society ooX-
anime parllc0lar subjects, will also furnish valuable
matter for publication, and elicit discussion Trough It's
columns. With these means valuable paper should
be published. Drawings and illustrations be exc
cuted in good style by artists IN this ety. and will be
freely used. The type VIII be new and the paper OF
good quality.
The Society has appropriated one hundred dollars 10
commence its publication, and no further appropriation
for it Will be made. is future support will be der ,cd
entirely from Subscriptions To the inhabitants ofthe
counties embraced in the charter, (aSaIe Wi Cook
Name, Mciienry, Lake and Du Page,) that acquai
ted with the plan and objects OF the IT, A. s. strong
appeal necessary induce subscriptions i'm aid OF It's
papar-all such VIII subscribe according their ab
ties, and if unable to take more than paper it will
be this.
Ofothcr friends Of Agriculture we would ask assis
lance JUS IN proportion 1t is deserved, ana IS for
their interest TO give Though published at low rate
we intend for a Western Farmer it shall he inf ri n to
none Oftho value of tgFicultural periodicals il IN
necessary to speak, they have been long tested and
too generally appreciated 10 require high encomiums
The cultivation of the Soil, with its kindred topics
will Of course be the principles obj treated Of but
the Cultivation OF the Mind, particularly by means Of
Common Schools, shall occupy lis appropriate lace.
Ofpolitics il is needless to say, there viii be nothing
