lHE FARMER until the whole amount
necessary for the purpose has been
realized. The FARMER will contain
sixteen pages ~ IL by 10 inches.
Though local in name, it is by no
means designed that it shall be local
in its sphre Of usefulness. On the
contrary, it is intended for any and
every part of the State. One dollar
will be the subscription price of The
FARl1ER for one year. Names of sub
scribers can be forwarded through
the mail to the undersigned, or left
with Capt. Hamilton at his store.
Single hints or receipts in an agricul-
tural journal not unfrequcntly prove
of much greater value to subscriber
than the cost of the paper.
We once saw in the Southern CuNi-
Vator communication from a Gcor-
gia farmer, detailing his plan of cur
ing meat. Impressed with it as
being good one, we adopted it, and
are satisfied it. has saved us many
times over the subscription price of
the Cultivator. Had this plan been
generally known and practiced
at the con- mencemcct of the last
butchcring season, The demand for
Western bacon would not be quite so
great as it is.
Arrangements have already been
perfected with the well-known cstab-
lishmcnt Of Walker, Evans e. Cogs-
we'll, printers, Of Charleston, for the
getting up Of THE FARMER. The
name of these gentlemen is suli-
cient guarantee that theig part of the
contrast will be carried out to the let
ter.
Our aim has been to get up paper
at as small cost as possible, in ordc:
that We could afford TO furnish it to
our subscribers at a colrcspondirgg!y

realize nscl. :' :@, above ,!:c ..:c expenses
Ct publication, &c., will hardly
amount to moro than a reasonable
compensation for our services. With
this however, we will be content !; and
will labor as faithfully and as earn
estly in the discharge of our duty to
our patrons, as if it amounted to
small fortune. All we ask Of our
brother farmers is their liberal patron
age. With this promptly extended,
the plan for establishing TIE FARMER
on permanent basis, will certainly
prove, as it is designed safeguard
against failure of the en- .erprise,
and consequent loss to subscribers.
Give us trial, and if at the end
Of twelve months we can find sub
scriber who can hold up his right
hand and say that he had not receiy-
cd the full value Of the amount in
vested, we will not only return him
his money, but will make him a pre-

county can afford.
We want three thousand subscrib-
ers, and as many more as we can get.
Our friends throughout the country,
(and we hope their name is legion,}
are earnestly solicited, not only to
send in their own names, but to en-
deavor to obtain and forward at the
same time scores of others.
We want canvassing agents to op-
crate from the mountains to the sea
board. If our enterprise is success
full, and they will certainly have it in
their power TO make it sminently so,
they will be we'll paid for their SER
vices. Besides, as their labors will
be amongst people renowned for
their hospitality, they will be at little

difficulty in acting in the capacity ol
an agent. An extensive tour through
