ITO Improve the Soil and Mind"

--
TNHE 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 OR 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 contributions
from a number of practical Farmers and Hor-
ticulturists, in Nebraska, and will continue TO
secure others 10 Snch an extent as warrants
us in saying 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.
