"OUR OWN OHIO"
Will ever be entitled to our first regard and most
heartily do we rejoice to know that our Iabors thus
far in her behalf have been instrumental in ava
kening a spirit of improvement among her farmers,
which il already producing highly beneficial re-
suits. Our Giant State, with her boundless natu-
raj resources, and over two millions of inhabit-
ants, 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
improvemen's-to the Fifty Agriculture! Socie-
ties organized within the past five years. and espe.
ciaIly TO the magnificent STATE FAIR, which
may justly be 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 as many as possible OF your
friends and neghbcrs to Join with you in subscrib-
ing for the OHIO CUL1IvATOR This will be
sure to increase the number aud 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 year.
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
IN xvifn tba taf, III
age THE WORLDS INDUSTRIAL FAIR,
ard write extended notes Tor the benefit of his
readers at home; also TO take survey Of the pro-
gress OF agricultural Improvements in that coun. |
try since his visit there ten years ago. Should he
not be able to go himself. the readers may rely OF.
finding in the pages of the Cultivator extensive
notes on the Worlds Fair, from the pen Of del
egate from Ohio, and from other reliable sources
large portion Of our columns will continue
to be devoted TO Agriculture and Horticulture, in
their practical details, and as much ot 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.
ing between those of established utility, and those
of doubtful character, and especially avoiding or
exposing the numerous species Of the genus hum
bug. which are becoming sore pest to farmers. |
The 'Ladies Department" of the paper, will, |
as heretofore, be especially devoted Ia the inter.
ests OF female readers; and with the aid of the |
new Ediiress. and several talented contributors,
there can be no doubt that it will be found interest
ing and useful. tffsl'iN
The state Of the Markets will be carefully no.
iced in each number, and such information given
as may be thought most useful to farmers in 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 year.)
