In thanking its many friends for the generous support they havo giveu to the arduous attempt at establishing a Grst class agricultural paper in this state, we do not propose to enlargo much upon tho occa sion. One year ago, at the closo of thf first volume, wo said : " We are still in tho thick of thu Li.itiij, and stand, looking forward to tho year that is before us, not with all tho doubts and fears of a year ago, but still with a knowledge that our task has not reached a point iu its progreis that will allow any remission of effort, any rebxion of nerve, any wavering of hear, but on the contrary demanding renewed fervor of purpose, energy of mind, courage and faith. Tho Vermont Farmer is not yet a full suc cess, but thanks to its friends and support ers, it is farther still from being a failure. That being tho case wo may, joining with all the people at this Thanksgiving time, thank God and tako courage." And uow that the Thanksgiving season is again with us, and another year's labor is accomplished, wo ask our readers, " havo wo not fulfilled our promises, and given you all, and more than all you could ask, lor your year's subscription 7" If you say we have, then trust us again, that in tlio year that is to come, God prospering us, you shall havo our best exertions to make this paper worth to the fullest extent tho prico you aro asked to pay for it. A yuar ago we did not feel safe to say that tho Farmer was an assured success ; now wo can say so. With a sub' scriptiou list three times larger than thou, a better location, an enlarged sheet, a duo ad vertising patronago and a goodly number of oorrespoudents amonc tho best aud most practical farmers of tho ntate, wo can again, ' joining with all tho people at this Thanks giving timo, thank God and tako courage." Wo went into this work two years ago with far more hope of doing good than of making money. Wo havo continued it iu the same spirit, but money his como to us from all parts of tho state, aud tetter than money, the " God speed you " of many whom wo do not kuow personally and never nriy, but whom wo must ever rank among thoso beet of friends, tlio " friends in need." We have, so far as expending it for their benefit is concerned, regarded tin ir contribution as a trust fund to build up what they evidently wanted to sco established, a good farmer's paper in Vermont. Wo havo set this end before profit, and we shall continuo to do so. Whether it pays a dollar or not, for tho coming year tho Farmer shall not disappoint its friends and supporters. Ono word more. Wo can continuo tho Farmer on its present basis, and give you a good paper. So much U ensured. Hut with a larger Kubscription wo can mako it very much bettor than it is. 1'crhaps you, reader, think that tho one or two friends whom you might induce to send in their names with yours for tho next yctr, would bn but little help. It is not 60. Kvcry now subscriber not only adds to the resources upon which wo must depend for all contemplated improve ments, but coming iu a they may and wo trust will, from every side, they give us that heart and courago which nerves us to do better and better for patrons who so nobly apprc ciato our efforts to servo and plcaso them. Kind friends, givo us then your help. You will not regret it. OUR GREATEST NEED, When a thoughtful Vermont farmer re flects upon thocotiditii.il of agriculture in tho state, ho cannot but loci that something, or soma things, aro needed to givo it a moro decided start on the path of improvement. Wo hear oil every sido, and if wo glanco around us wo sco, that this is au era of gen eral advancement in every branch of human industry ; aud tho thoughtful man who is a farmer knows that thin advance is much slow, cr, moro halting and ineffective, in tho agri cultural world than elsewhere. To thoso whoso opportunities allow them to look abroad, it is manifest that in agriculture it self, tho chief advancement is now being made clsowhcro than in America, This last is a startling fact, becauso Amer ica leads the van in most other branches of productive industry. Why nhould sho bo a laggard in tho chief industry of all, tlio pro. duction of food ? In trying to find an answer to this vital quory, tho thinkiug man who is familiar with tlio situation is strongly im pressed with tho fact ttiat, in thoso countries that aro now making tho most rapid progress Iu agriculturo, raising tho largest aud most jproGtablo crops, breeding tho best stock and effecting tliojjgrcatent improvements,!!) farm work, tho jjandholderanf o tho best' cducat- cd.

The lard in this couutry, unlike tlico Kuropcan nations v.hcro progressive agriculture ius begun, is in the hands of tho people, and popular education and agricul tural progress must go together with us.
