In our own country, a war upon rascality
and corruption has been inaugurated in ouI
City, whereby the government of our State

of Metals, and thus enhance the gains of In

such is the inspiring task TO which this Natio

Agriculture will continue to be more spe
cially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of the able:
and most successful tillers of the soil wi
steadily contribute. No farmer who sells $50
worth OF produce per annum can afford TO d
without our Market Reports, or others equa
ly lucid and comprehensive. If he should rea
nothing else but what relates to his own cal
