The Ohio Cultivator will aim to impaTt such Emowl-
edge of the principles and practice Of improved agIicul-
tuTe, as will enable farmers to increase the value and
productions of their lands, and obtain greater returns
for their capital and labor. 1t will give descriptions oil
the different breeds of domestic animals, with remarks
on their comparative value, their management, diseases,
&c. also, of improved agricultural implements, labor
saving inventions and machinery, farm buildings, fences,
&c. Frequently illustrated with engraVings) 1t will
also encourage the formation of Agricultural societies
throughout the state, notice their proceedings and Will
afford n medium Of communication through which the
friends of improvement in Ohio may become known to
each other, and publish the results oftheir experiments,
discoveries and plans Of operation.
Particular pains will be taken to give the most COR
rect reports of the markets and the crops, both OF this
country and England. And as the English provision
trade is becoming one Of great importance to the farm
ers ofOhio, arrangements have been made, through per-
sonal friends of the editor in England, for receiving by
the steamships, the latest intelligence on the subject, for
each number Of the Cultiyator. BY these means farm
ers may learn how to obtain better prices for their pro-
ductions, as well as to increase the quantity, and I'M
prove the quality thereof.
As another means of promoting the interests and hap
piness of the rural population OF Ohio, the Cuiuyator
will aim to diiuse more general taste for the pursuit anG
productions of dorticuiture-bctter knowledge Of the
value ola supply of fine fruits and vegetables for a fam
lily, and the means of procuring them and of the lasting
happiness that may ~resultto parents and children, by
an increased attention to neatness and taste around our
dwellings--a little expense and labor deVotedto making
our homes attractive, and surrounding them with more
of natures own commentaries, and shrubs and aow-
erS.
Nature has evidently designed, that Ohio should be
the first and and greatest agricultural State in the Uni
on; and its farming population. already numbering two
millions, may be the most independents, prosperous, and
happy, if they only awake to their own interests. The
march of improvement, which has of late caused sur
prise and rejoicing to millions in Europe, has common
ced with rapid strides in portions Of this country, where
light and intelligence is difused by agricultural publ
cations.-Wil the Farmers of Ohio, who ought to oc-
Cupy the first rank, consent to remain behind the~agt,
and not make one effort to elevate their noble prOies,
sion! Friends Of Improvement! men Of education and
Influence! will you not lend your aid to this cause!
Though you mayn not have a farm, nor even a garden to
cultivate, your interests are concerned in the promotion
ofagriculture. Tai the Ohio Cuitiyator, then, and
show it to your farming n~eighbors, persuade hem to read
and to think, as well us to labor, and you Will soon
have the satisfaction Of seeing them become better far
mpgs and better %neighbors.
he Editor deems it unnecessary to speak Of his own
qualifications for this enterprise. Having been for five
years past, engaged in conducting n similar publication
which has numbered nearly twenty thousand subscGi-
bers, and over three thousand of them in Ohio, and hay
ing on several occasions travelled through the State in
various directions, to observe its agriculture, he trusts
he is not stranger to the farmers ofOhio, or unqualified
to be of service to them. But it is not so much upon
his own judgement or abilities that he depends, as upon
the contributions of more experienced and practical wri'
tiers, which las will be seen by the first ~number,) have
been freely promised for the columns of the Ohio Cul-
tivator, and cannot fail to giveit interest and value.
NJ The Cultivator will be issued on the lst and 18th
of each month, commencing with January 1915, i'll large
quarto form, e pagosD making a large volume, with

bic in collecting and all subscriptions to commence
