More than half the first number Of TH,
FARMERs LIRERARv AND MoNrnrY Joupr.a
OF AoRrcULrURE is already stereotyped. and
the remaining will rapidly follow. We bare.
" hope, however, to issue the work promp.
tly onthe lst Of July, as some Of the Illus.
trations require more time than we had 81.
timated, and cannot be hurried. A fne Por.
trait on Steel Of the late Hon. STEPHEN Wv
RENSSELAER, will face the title-pape' Viii.
an original Memoir of that illustrious man
with especial reference 10 his labors IN srJ
services to the cause of American 4 .r;c,,i-
ture and that OF Popular Education, will open
the Journal Of Agriculture. We design tbis
as the commencement of series of po r,r.;,,
and biographical sketches of early and ami.
neht champions of Agricultural Improve mar.
particularly but not exclusively those oc an,
own country. II is high time that N. Car. u
and honors hitherto monopolized BY Warriors
Politicians and Statesmen be bestowed =, :.
least equal measure on those noiseless bene.
factors Of our race whose fearless triumphs
are won in the domain of rugged Nature. and
OF which :" the spoils" are enjoyed by The
whole Human Family.
The farmers Library will omen with Psr..
HoLDT's AGRICULTURAL CHEMrsrRY ,orioinallv
published in London last year, and now 6rst
printed in this country. This work II less
profound and dazzling than the Justly cele,
brated treatise Of Prof LrEBrO on the:sams
subject, but il is far simpler, less abstruse,
and more readily understood by those who
have little or no prior acquaintance with the
science of Chemistry. II will be completed
in two numbers Of the Library Culy and
August,) and may be bound up by itself if
any desire it. 1t will be found complete,
concise, lucid and signal help to every
practical farmer. We have, on mature con-
sideration, decided to open with this rather
than "Stephens's Book of the Farm'-an sx-
celent work, but very voluminous, and requir-
ing extensive and continual alterations to
adapt il TO the wants Of Farmers in this coun-
try. Petzholdt's Chemistry will cover less
than 100 pages Of the Library.
Among the contents Of the Monthly Jour
nal, will be found full and clear account Of
the application Of Electricity 10 Agriculture
in England, its cost and its wonderful results.
Also, Of the application Of Guano--,hs most
approved methods and the effect, sc. Sc.
This will be by far the largest, and we hope
the best Agricultural work ever published in
this country. The Editor, Mr.. ]. 8. SKINNER,
devotes himself unremttingly and joyously
to his duties, and is determined to show that
the protector and conductor Of the first Far
mer's periodical ever printed in this country
has not fallen behind the times.
We do not expect many to pay for such 4
work as the Farmers Library till they have
seen and approved it; we do not expect 10
