PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING

4 n the advancement of agriculture within ths
Afew past years and the discovery and develop
ment OF its claims upon science, the need has ber
come felt, by large number Of those engaged i'm
that nobest of arts, of a periodical of a scientific
character devoted to its interests. Our country
is largely furnished with agricultural papers of a
practical nature and it cannot be denied that they
have exeried an immense influence for good upon
The farming community. With these do not
purpose TO conflict in presenting these proposals
to the public, but rather uphold and strengthen
them by advocating the same cause and sheddng
upon it the light of science. "a .
we have also the works Of foreign writers on
this subject; but we regard American agriculture
as essentially different in many respects from Bril-
tish or European, and yet we scarcely know the
opinions OF men OF our own country. And one
great reason for this is TO be found in the fact.
that hitherto there has been no publication which
could serve as medium through which thew
could become known. This want it is our de,
sign to snpply-to open direc. communicates
between the farmer and the man of science, where
the facts OF the one may meet the theories OF the
other, and thus to aid in establishing system Of
National Agriculture on the basis of reason and
science. D..
But whilst the aim OF this Journal will be 70
become the advocate and ally of American sgri-
culture, it will at the same time embrace all for
eign matters which may be interesting to farmers
and scientific men. 1t will contain original Es-
says, both scientific and practical, on the various
branches of husbandfy-Anmal and Vegetables
Physiology -Botany-Geology, and
all the branches Of science connected with farm
ing-Notlces and Reviews of Agricultural and
Scientific Works-Agrcuiiura News, both for

EXperiments--and their results-and all discove
ries in Science or Art which offer ADVANTAGE tn
