MORNING. JUNE IL. iss,



More than half the FIRST number OF THE FARMER"
Ius.py AND MONTHLY Journal oY AcRicuI-
TERI is already s,erectypcd. and the remaining
nases will rapidly follow. We barely hope how
ever 10 Issue the work promptly on the is' OF July
~ some Of the Illustrations require more time than
we had estimated, and cannot be hurried hne
Portrait on Steel Of the late Hon. STEPHES Vas
RrsssxLAER will face the tiilepsge, while an orr
xinal Memoir Of tina, illusrious man, with especial
reference 10 his labors in and services To the
csuse of American Agriculture and that OF Popu
lar Education, will open the Journal OF Agricui
tnre. We design this as the commencement
of a seres of portraits and biographical sketches
Of early and eminent champions OF Agricultural
Improvement particularly but not exclusively those
Of our own country. IL is high time that the tame
and honors hitherto monopolized by Warrlor-
Politicians and Statesmen be bestowed in a, least
equal measure on those noiseless benetactors OF our
race whose fearless triumphs are won IN the DOMAIN
OF rugged Nature, and Of which the spoils are ell
joyed by the whole Human Family.
The Farmers Library will open with PErz
HoLDr's AGRIcuLTrRAL CHEMISTRY originally
published in London last year, and now hrs' printed
in this country. This work Is less profound and
dazzling than the Justly celebrated treatise OF Prof
LIrBIo ON the same subject but is far simpler less
abstrusc and readily understood by those VINO
have little or no prior acquaintance with the science
of Chemistry. II will be completed in two numbers
Of the Library July and August and may b.
bound up by itself If any desire it j, will be found
complete concise lucid, and signal help to every
practical farmer. We have on mature considera'
ton, decided 10 open with this rather than ste
phenss Book of the Farm an excellent work, but
very voluminous, and requiring extensive and con
tinual alterations TO adapt it TO the wants oil ar
mers in this country. Petzholdts Chemistry VIII
cover less than 100 pages Of the Library
Among the contents Of the Monthly Journal, VII
be found full and clear account OF the application
of Electricity TO Agriculture in England Its cos ai'
its wonderful results. Also, OF the application OF
Guano-thc most approved methods and the ehece'
&c &C. This will be by far the largest and we nope
the best Agricultural work ever published in this
country The Editor Mr. j. 5. SKINNER, devotes
himself unrcmiitngly and oyously 10 his duties, and
is determined to show that the protector and con.
duc,or of the first Farmers periodical ever printed
in this country has no, fallen behind the times
We do not expect many to pay for such work as
the Farmers Library till they have seen and ap
proved it we do not expect to receive Immediately
any adequate return for heavy outlay in this en-
tsrprsc but we are grateful for every ntimation OF
sympathy with and good will to this publication
