ITO Improve the Soil and Mind"


THE object of the Farmer is proclaimed
l. in its motto faithful to this end, it will
aim to take rank with the Agricultural peri
odicals of the day, and pursue such a course
as will render it a welcome visitor to every
Farmer in Nebraska. The Publisher deems
it unnecessary to enter into an argument to
convince the farming community in this Ter
ritory of the Importance of such a work. The
natural adaptation Of our soil and climate to
Agricultural pursuits, known, TO all who have
examined, is thought to be a sufficient apology
for entering upon this enterprise. We have
made arrangements for regular contribution
from a number Of practical Farmers and Hor-
ticulturists, in Nebraska, and will continue to
secure others to such an extent as warrants
MS in saving that the Farmer will prove a
depository of a mass of important facts in re-
lation to agriculture, rarely to be met with,
and at a cost which places it within the reach
of all.
Horticultur Especial attention will be
given to the writing and selection of matter
appeTtaining to the culture of all kinds Of
Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables, adapted to
this soil and climate, accompanied by numer-
Gus EngTavings with full descriptions.
