"OUR OWN OHIO"
Will ever be entitled 10 our first regard; and most
heartily do we rejoice to know that our labors 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 inhabt-
ats. is beginning to awake TO the sense of her
high destiny. AS evidence nf this, we refer 10
the rapid progress OF Railroads and other public
improvemen's-to the Fifty Agricullura! Socle-
ties organized 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
We appeal then with confidence to the friend,
Of improvement in Ohio, to HELP ON THE
WORK-by inducing many possible of your
friends and neghbcrs to join with you in subscrib-
ing for the OHIO CULTIVATION This will be
sure TO increase the number and usefulness of the
County Agricultural Societies, and also awaken
more interest in behalf Of
ANOTHER AND BETTER STATE FAIR,
Which will undoubtedly take place another wear.
Should the in, rease of subscribers be sufficient
to warrant the expense, il is the Intention of the
Editor to spend month or two in England the
..i-
age THE WORLDS INDUSTRIAL FAIR,
aid write extended notes Tor The benefit of his
readers at home; also TO take survey of the pro.
gress OF agricultural Impro vements in that coun.
try since his visit there ten years ago. Should he
not he able to go himself. the readers may rely on
finding in the pages of the Cutivator, extensive.
notes on the Worlds Fair, from the pen of del.
egate f,om Ohio, and from other reliable snrrces
A large portion of our columns will continue
to be devoted to Agriculture and Horticulture, in
their practical details, and much OF science aud
theory relating to these arts is consistent for
work Of this kind. Notice will be taken of new
discoveries and inventions, carefully distinguish.
ing between those of established utility, and those
of doubtful character, and especially avoiding or
exposing the numerous species ti the genus hum.
bug. which are becoming sore pest to farmers.
The "Ladies Department" of the paper, will,
as heretofore, be especially devoted to the inter.
ests OF female readers; and with the aid of the
new Editress. and several talented contributors,
there can be no doubt that il will be found interest.
ing and useful.
The state of the Markets will be carefully no.
ticed in each number, and such information given
as may be thought most useful 10 farmers il help
ing them to decide when and where to dispose Of
their surplus productions, &c. (This information,
alone, has often been found Of more value than
many times the cost Of the paper for a year.)
