TURF, FIELD AND FARM.
u ELTEviNG THAT THE INTERESTS Of
ID the American people demand frst-clas5
weekly Journal, devoted exclusively TO the sports
of the turf AMI field, and TO agricultural and lite
rarY pursuits, we have made arrangements to
publish such paper. With the return Of peace
TO our land, war and lis exciting issues will no
longer engross Tie attention, and form the chief
topic Of discussion. The people will return with
new vigor to the sports Of the field and turf, 10
the breeding Of fine stock, and the development
Of the resources Of the country. The want Of a
journal devoted 10 the best interests Of the whole
country was never so severely felt as now. To
supply this want we propose 10 establish the
Turf, Field and Farm.
We embark IN an enterprise requiring much la
Dor and expense but we b5eve the people viii
sustain us IN it. Our facilities for publishing a
frst-class sporting and literary journal are not
exceiled in the United States. Our long connec-
ton with the turf and stock associations Of the
country, warrant us IN thus boldly stating this
fact. 1t shall be our earnest endearor 10 publish
/ a paper that will interest the general reader
| Politics will be excluded from is columns, as We
have desire to indu &c in bitter aspersions and
| to engage in heated discussions The turf will
receive especial attention, and it will form one
Of the leading features Of the paper. We have
made arrangements 10 secure correspondents from
every State which take pride in encouraging this
noble sport. The breeding and raising Of fine
stock will also receive especial attention. The
The horse, the nOblest OF animal creation. for
years has been our study, and we are prepared
10 treat the matter in manner that VIII cha-
| .enCe the criticism of the public.
To promote The interests of the farm will be
another Of cur chief endeavor7. The subject OF
agriculture is of vital interest TO the American
people, recovering as they are from The effects OF
a long and desolatng war. Neglected fields and
abandoned plantations must again be made : }
teen with life and bloom with the fruits of the
soil. None of US are SO wise bat that we may
require instructions, and by unceasirg effort we
hope to make this department valuable and inter
cstins.
No paper 70 The general reader would be con-
plete without literary department. and it is not
our intention 10 overlook tais important feature.
Selections from the ablest writer's in die country
and contributions from some Of the most ready
and scholarly pens Of the day, will serve to ell
rich our columns.
Believing that tie perpetuation Of the priuci-
pies upon which our Government is founded Ce-
ponds upon the general diffusion Of knowledge. we
shall labor for the advancement Of The cause OF
education.
