"OUROWN OHIO"

heartily do we rejoice to know that our abors thus
far in her behalf have been instrumental IN ava
kening spirit of Improvement among her farmers,
which is already producing highly beneficial re-
suits. Our Giant State, with her boundless natu-
raj resources, and over two millions OF inhabit-
ats, is beginning to awake to the sense Of her
high destiny. As evidence of this. we refer 10
the rapid progress of Railroads and other public
improv emen's-to the Fifty Agricultural! Socie-
ties OF ganzed within the past FIVE years. and espe-
cially to the magnificent STATE FAIR, which
may justly he regarded as the commencement OF
new era in the progress of Agriculture in Ohio.

of improvement in Ohio, to HELP ON THE
WORK-by inducing as many as possible of your
friends and neighbors to join with you in subscrib-

sure to increase the number aud usefulness of the
County Agricultural Societies, and also awaken
more interest in behalf Of

Should the increase of subscribers be sufficient
to warrant the expense, il is the intention OF the
Editor to spend month or two in England the

readers at home; also to take survey of the pro-

not be able to go himself the readers may rely on
finding in the pages Of the Cultivator, extensive
notes on the Worlds Fair, from the pen of del.
