The publisher of The Vermont TRAN
SCRIPT havingannounced his determine
ton to issue lire paper at whatever eX-
pense, and having been frequently re-
minded that III a community Of far
mcrs possessing wealth, intelligence,
and culture, paper habitually ignoring
their occupation as such, is no longer
considered Il Give paper" has deter
mined to devote such portion Of the
TRANSCRIPT to the discussion of agri-
cultural and kindred topics as shall
meet the requirements of the people of
Vermont.
That The farmers of Vermont should
have, and will appreciate and support
an organ of their own, upon their own
soil, and conducted in their own inter-
est, can hardly be doubted. That the
publisher of the TRANSCRIPT has facili-
ties and q desire to make one of the best
papers, daily and weekly, in the State,
is not doubted by those who have long
est and best known him, nor that the
TRANSCRIPT is permanently established
upon a sound basis.
SO far, then, as the publisher is con-
cerned there is no reason why he may
not confidently appeal to farmers and
Others for an earnest cooperation and
support OF this newly established enter
prise devoted to their interests.
1t may seem not inappropriate for us
slpon whom devolves the more imme-
diate responsibility OF conducting this
department OF the paper to indicate
somewhat in detail the plan which we
propose to follow. Ever mindful of the
well grounded prejudice existing in the
public mind against all mere theory not
well authenticated by actual practice, ii
will be our constant cndeaVor to guard
our columns against the intrusion OF
speculative schemes, but on the other
hand to hold them ever open and free fOl
the discussion of all practical subjects
of general interest; hence we invite
correspondence from practical farmers
in all parts of the State. Believing that
'high culture alone is truly remu
nerative, we shall advocate that, and
especially solicit detailed accounts O
any experiments that tend to the estab
fishing of principles.
Believing that the mass OF farmers are
quite too indifferent upon the subjec
of raising fine bred stock, we propose to
make that subject speciality, and t.
help elevate the standard and familiar
ize the public ear with the best speci
mems. We shall, from time to time
publish well executed cuts drawn from
life, OF model animals of the severa
breeds.
In the hope to promote healthie
sentiment on the much ridiculed sub
ject of book farming, we shall, from
, time to time, publish extended review
of truly practical books on subjects o
interest to the farming community
Agricultural education, agricultural SO
cieties, farmers clubs, State, county
and town fairs; agriculture, horticul
ture, pisciculture, new implements, tn
improvement and VentiliZation of farm
and dairy houses, market reports, and il
short, every topic of general interes
will be afforded space in our columns.
Called with but one weeks notice t
: the discharge Of these duties, while il
> the midst Of other engagements tina
must be performed by stated time
> much work that we would like to d
must be deferred till later day; NEAR
+, time we ask the indulgence of our read
= ers for one month, when we hope to b
: free from other interfering duties.
