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 a very high cha.
racter, and we might have slIrunk from the task
of sustaining the reputation it had gained, OF
from the efforts necessary TO still farther elevate
its standing. had not the assurance of aid from
the ablest writers and the most experienced far.
mers ofthe country,-aid which our columns
will show has been and will be most promutIv
and fully rendered: encouraged US 10 the under
taking. How far we have succeeded must be
left for the readers Of the Cultivator to defer
mine; but ifan increase ofsubscription beyond
any precedent in the history of agricultural
journals Of this countryi if the almost upam
nous voice ofthe public press in our favor If
the multitude OF private yet fattering tcstim0-
mails we have received, added 10 circulation
probably treble that Of any other journal dero-
ted to the agricultural interest, may be admitted
as evidence. then we have certainly most abun.
dant reason 10 be gratifed with our success.
II our efforts to render the Cultivator worthy.
of the patronage il has received, no e1penseof OF
labor has been or will be spared. As it is eve

the science of Husbandy; ofthe introduction of
new and important varieties of seeds and
plants; of the respective values and adoption
of the several improved breeds of Horses; Cat
