THE SOUTHERN FARMER.
A New Farm Magazine to be Pub
lished From Newberry.

We beg to call especial attention to
the prospectus o{ The Southern
Farmer published below This will
be a purely agricultural paper, none
of that kind now being published IN
this state. The reputation OF the con-
tributing editors is a sufficient guar
anty that the paper will prove inter-
esting and profitable, not only to
the farming class of our people but TO
the members of other professions as
we'll. We bespeak for the new paper
cordial reception by our people.
Prospectus.
Recognizing the progress now max
ing in agriculture in the cotton states
and realizing the demand tor up-to-
date literature bearing on all depart
ments of rural industry, 1t seems an
opportune time to enter the 1lelo
which now lies open for the advent
of an agricultural journal devoted to
the interests of those engaged IN the
most helpful, most useful; and most
noble employment of man.
We have, therefore, decided to pub
lish The Southern Farmer as broad
gauge journal in which our rural
friends will find instruction upon eV-
cry subject of interest to the t1ller OF
the soil. Upon its pages we hope to
have 1nirrored the best thought and
practice for the field, the stockyard,
the dairy, the garden, the vineyard
the poultry yard, the flower yard and
the hlome circle. Especial emphasis
will be placed upon whatever will con-
tribute to rendering rural homes at
tractive and life pn the farm more
happy and prosperous.
Public Policy.
While it's columns will be open to
discussions of all questions of agrl-
culture, political economy and such
public measures as affect the inter-
ests Of the agricultural industry, moth
ing political OF partisan will be ad-
nitted. Public measures will be dis
cussed from the standpoint OF THE
general good, but all partisan politics
will be excluded not only from its
editorial columns but from contrlbu-
tions as we'll. While it shall labor
to ,lnold an elevated, social and NOR
al standard, associated with temper
ance and Christianity, nothing partl-
san or sectarian will be admitted.
Ladies' Department.
It shall be our fixed policy to make
this department interesting and useful
TO THE women of our country. 10
carrv out our wishes we cordially lr-
vite contributions from ladies on any
subject in which they are interested
whether it be fashions or culinary
recipes, the latest novel or the domes-
tic manipulation OF milk and butter.
Education.
The Southern Farmer will ever be
found battling in the front rank OF
the friends of education which looks
to the development OF our youth into
useful men and women. No class OF
citizens is more deeply interested in
the Improvement of the public school
system, especially in the rural dis
tricts. than the tillers of the soil.
Higher institutions of learning, by
whatever name known, will lind
friend in The Southern Farmer, and II
any hobby is admitted to its columns,
it will be that Of industrial and tech
nical education, not only in college
but in our public schools; not only
for bows but for girls as we'll.
Discussions.
Dignified, good-humored discus
sions of all legitimate. subjects are
cordially invited but no offensive per-
sonalities will be allowed.
