have as many pictures rs some of the
Northern monthlics, but it is a strictly South.
crn enterprise, is printed on paper made
within a few miles of its Office, and owned

there must be, to a great extent, familiar
with tho pcculiaritics and wants of Southern
farming. 1t will be found, moreover, by any
one who will take the trouble to examine a
copy of tho Cultivator, (and all are invited
to call at this office and do so,) that the larg.
