| On the 26th of December will be is
sued the first number of a new Rural
and family paper with the above title
by Messrs S. NJ. Pettengill, Bates Il Co
of 81, Park Row, New York. We have
on several occasions in the past, as our
readers we'll know, spoken in the high
est terms Of the above gentlemen, and
our long business connection with
them, enable us to assure our people
that the new publication, which they
are about to ISSUE will be all, and more
than what they promise.
| twill be published weekly on six
teen large handsome pages, printed
from new type on clear, white book pa
per, abundantly illustrated by the best
artists.
1t will be largely devoted to Agricul-
ture.
Will not 60 to the farmer with any
airs of superior knowledge, for its con-
ductors are well aware that every man
knows many things in his own special
calling better than they; but it will aid
the farmer in his peculiar difficulties,
| and to help him where he needs help.
To this end,a large number of Scientif
ic men and men of practical experience
will tell in it's columns from week to
week what they know about Soils, Till
age, Drainage, Irrigation, Special crops
Manners, ,Stock-Breeding, Poultry Rails
ing; the arrangement of fields, and
Buildings, all new Impliments, Seeds
and plants ofvalue.
1t will carfully report to him all pub
lie discussions at home and abroad Of
matters pertaining to his calling, and
no pains will be spared to induce the
best farmers and planters all over the
country to state in its pages the meth
DDS by which they reached the best re-
suits. What its writers have to say will
smell of the soil and not of the dictiona-
ry, and their object will be to protect
the farmer from humbugs, help him
out of wrong ways into right ways,
and to make the least work produce
the most profit.
The Fruit Grower will find in this
Journal all new fruits of value figured
and described, and improved methods
of treatment of established sorts, sub
ject to the observations and criticisms
of professional and accomplished culti-
vators. This paper will not be party
in the wars of the pomologists: no out
side pressure shall cause it to speak
well of inferior fruit, or badly of good
fruit.
The Florist will find due space given
in this Journal to flower culture, wheth
er in summer or in winter. The con-
servatory of the rich and the flower
of the day laborer will be both subject
of consideration and of such sugges-
tions as experienced flower-growers or
inventive amatuers can supply. This
Department of the Journal will be un
der the supervision ola practical G ,rd-
ener and accomplished botanists.
Ornamental Gardening, whether re-
lating to parterres of flowers, or to lay
out ali estate, will be subject to special
attention, and every number of the
Journal will have some one or more il
lustrations to further and to inform taste
in this direction.
Rural Architecture VIII be represent
ed by design each week, and in the
course of the year we shall hope to give
tasteful examples of every style of Ru-
raj Building, from rustic arbor to a
) village Church.
Plans ofCountry Homes which are
; noted for their attractiveness will be
given from time to time, as also of Gem
etries. Parks, Village Greens. and such
directions with respect to details
whether of planting or road making
as shall make them worthy of study.
