"OUR OWN OHIO"
Will ever be entitled TO our first regard; and most
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-
ants, is beginning to awake 10 the sense of her
high destiny. AS evidence of this, we refer 10
the rapid progress OF Railroads and other public
improvemens-to the Fifty Agricultural! Socie-
ties organized within the past five years, and espe.
ciay 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 as many as possible of your
friends and neighbcrs to Join with you in subscrib.
ing for the OHIO CULTlVATOR 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 intrease OF subscribers be sufficient
to warrant the expense, it is the intention of the
Editor to spend month or two in England the
