PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME VIII FOR
lSA1.
In Offering to the agricultural public of the
United States, the prospectus of the Eighth vol
ume of The Cnltivator, (lhe second ofihe New
Series, we desire The privilege of taking our
patrons and correspondents famliarly and cor
daily by the hand, and thanking them most
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 ol
the farmer; to show him the dignity and impor
tance Of his profession; to store his mind with
useful knowledge, and convince him that while
| all clagses are aud must be more or less depen.
| dent on each other, he alone Of the whole can
make any near approach TO independence. II
| there is one thing more than another which in
this country gives man superiority over his
| fellow men, il is knowledge ; and this knowl-
etlge,-knowledg which is as essential to tile
success of the farmer as of other men, it is the
design ofthc Cultvator to aid in imparting.
In taking charge Of The Cultiyator, The Edi-
tors were aware Of tile arduous nature of the
undertaking. Under its former conductor, this
journal had nlrcndy attained very high cha
ractcr, and we might have slIrunk from the task
of sustaining the reputation it had gained, or
from the efforts necessary 10 still farther elevate
its standing. had not the assurance OF aid from
the ablest writers and tile most experienced far
mers of the country,-aid which our columns
vii! show has been and will be most promptly
and fully rendered; encouraged US to the under
taking. How fur we have succeeded must be
left for The readers OF the Cultivator TO deter
mine; but if an increase ofsubscription beyond
any precedent in tile 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 flattcring tcstnlo-
mails we have received, added 10 Gil culation
probably treble that Of any other journal devo-
ted to the agricultural interest. may be admitted
as evidence then we have certainly most alum
dunt reason to be gratified with our success.
If our efforts to render the Cultivator worthy
OF the patronage il hus received, no expense or
labor has been or will be spared. As it is eve
ry where received asthe exponent of the con-
diton aud prospects Of Agriculture in the Uni
ted Stutes, we intend that every subject con-
nectcd with the great interest in any part Of our
country shall receive its due share Of notice,
and its proper place i'll our c0lums. Tie Gull
livator will be a record Of all improvements in
the science of Husbandry; oflhe 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 10
uiale il work which shall interest, instruct
and be acceptable to all.
in the number variety, and excellence Of the
Illustrations, the Cullvator is without rival,
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, Agri-
cultural and Mechanical; and by engrarings of
such objects rs will be better understood, when
given with such chillustra,ion5. The engravings
and illustrations OF the 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
great expense tllev necessarily occasion us.
The sales OF the Cultivator have been so
great during the past year, and the demand for
the back volumes US well as the current one so
constant, that we have sterotyped each mum.
