ted to business, politics. or literature; and they look
for tho united support Of all the intelligent farmers
Of this country in their continued effort to furnish

Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The AgytcuhurTst viii not depart from its legiti-
mate sphere to catch popular favor by numbering up
its pages, with the silly fictitious literature, and

great business of Agriculture. The household as
well as tho outdoor work Of the farm win receive
duo share of attention. The humbugs and nostrums
afoat in tho community will be trod by reliable sci
entfc ralcs and their worthlessness exposed. 1t is
the aim Of the publishers to keep this paper under
tho guidance OF those who will make it a standard
work, which shall communicate to its readers only
that which is safe and reliable.
