which is already producing highly beneficial re-
suits. Our Giant State, with he oouhoiess na'u'

may Justly be regarded as the commencement OF
a new era in the progress of Agriculture In Ohio.

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 at
ANOTHER AND BETTER STATE FAIR,
Which will undoubtedly take place another year.
Should the in, Tease OF subscribers be sufficient
to warrant the expense, it is the intention OF the
Editor to spend month or two In England the
coming summer, to witness the great event OF the
age THE WORLDS INDUSTRIAL FAIR,
and write extended notes tor the benefit OF his
readers at home; also 10 take survey Of the pres

A large portion Of our columns will continue
to be devoted to Agriculture and Horticulture, in
