suits. Our Giant State, with her boundless Bsiu-
raj resources, and over two millions of inhabit-
arts. 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 the Fifty Agricultural! Socie-
ties organzed within the past five years. and espe
calIy to the magnificent STATE FAIR. which
may Justly be regarded as the commence ement of
new era in the progress of Agriculture in Ohio.
We appeal then with confidence to the friend,
of improvement in Ohio, to HELP ON THE
WORK-by inducing as many as possible of your
friends and neighbcrs to Join with you in subscrib.

sure to increase the number and usefulness of the
County Agricultural Societies, and also awaken
more interest in behalf of t.a.
ANOTHER AND. BETTER STATE FAIR,
Which will undoubtedly take place another year.

A large portion of our columns will continue
to be devoted TO Agriculture and Horticulture, in
their PRACTICAL details, and ss much oi science aud
theory relating to these arts as is consistent for
work of this kind. Notice will be taken of new
discoveries and inventions. carefully distinguish

bug, which are becoming a sore pest to farmers.
The '.Ladies Department" Of the paper, will,
as heretofore be especially devoted to the inter-
