PROSPECTUS
FOK PUBLISHING A MONTHLY PAPER
IN BALTIMORK, TO U F. i AI.LEO
TIIE CULTURIST.
On subjects connected with Agriculture, to include
an Emigrants’ Department, containing such in
formation as may bo useful to persons making a
settlement in the West, or seeking new fields of
agricultural enterprise.
rrill' SUBSCRIBER proposes to issue a
J- monthly sheet, in quarto form, of sixteen pa
ges, on husbandry, pastoral affairs, and kindred
subjects:— a portion of the paper to he occupied
with notices geographical, statistical and historical
of such portions of the West as will be of most in
terest to Wester u settlers, and also of portions of
the South.
Agriculture is the most ancient occupation of
man. It is also the most useful, the most indepon
dent, the happiest, the most healthy, tire most pro
fitable and the most honorable.
But this is not all. Agriculture comprehends in
itself more science, than nnv other occupation in
the whole circle of human pursuits and industry
Geology, chemistry, vegetable physiology, all make
a part of the thorough knowh- jge of this most ex
ton-ive and uselul art. They arc indeed but the
beginnings of the vast field of knowledge contain
Pf' within it. So th*»t if n man can be a thorough
agriculturist, be will be in the large sense of the
word a learned man.
Farmers however have been, to a great extent
opposed to what they called science, or book-farin'
mg, from a mistaken idea that whatever was in
print was merely speculative, and matter of theory.
If it were so indeed, they would be right in con
demning it. It is however a mistaken idea. Sci
ence is the result of experience and practice. It is
the ripe harvest of fa< ts, reaped not by one man in
one field, but gathered bv all the laborers through
out all the harvest fields of the earth in year after
year from the beginning.
E very intelligent I armor likes to talk to his ncigh
or, and draw advantage from his experience—
fins experience is no less valuable for heine- do
livrred to him in print, by types, than if it should
be given to Imn by bis neighbor, by word of mouth.
II thi* Fame thing\
Skill in the manual of hoeing and ploughingran
never make a farmer. It makes only an apprentice
in the art. Since the multiplication of agricultu
ral papers and societies ir, this country, there has
been a great improvement in the state of agricuin
lure. *
It is designed to giv- in this paper all useful gen
era I intelligence relating to rural affairs and econ
omy, whether of implements, stocks, seeds, modes
of culture, articles of cultivation, soils, or fertilizers;
and such discoveries of acicnoe as may assist, light
en and make more profitable the hardy and hon
orable toil of the farmer.
A secondary object will be to give information to
persons making settlement in the West: from per
sonal knowledge mostly -so that they will be able
to make judicious selections, and proceed in the es
tablishing of their new homes to best advantage,
and some description of th- lands of Maryland and
Virginia, with the modes of renovatincr them.

T,IE PATENT galvanic kings, &
1 MAGNETIC FLUID.—This remarkable dis
covery lias re. cived the universal approbation of
tbo Medical Profession of Great Britain, and lias
been sufficiently long1 before tile American public
to give a fail trial of its power and efficacy. The
PA I KN I (iAIA ANIC BINGS have been tound to
answer all the purposes lor which ordinar y Galvan
ic Battery or Electric and Magnetic Machines are
used, but are without any of the injurious shocks
which accompany the applications by those instru
ments, and in many other respects are more safe
and certain in accomplishing the desired object.
The Galvanic Kings have been used with perfect
success in all cases ot Rheumatism, acute or chron
ic, applying to the head, face or limbs; Gout, Tic
Doloreux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous,
or Sick Headache, Indigestion. Paralysis, Palsy,
Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart!
Apoplexy, Stiffncssof Joints, Lumbago. Neuralgia,
General Debility. Deficiency of Nervous Energy,’
and all Nervous Disorders. In cases of confirmed
Dyspepsia they have been sun es fol. Their extra
ordinary I fleets upon the system must be witnessed
to he believed; and as a certain preventive for
the above complaints they are equally to be recoin- •
mended. The Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless, and are sold at prices to be
within the reach of all. Cristik’s Magnetic Fluid
is used in connection with the Rings, to render
their efficient action certain, and to direct the Gal
vanic influence to the particular portions whichaie
affected.
For numerous certificates of the highest charac
ter regarding the efficacy of the Galvanic Kin os
and Magnetic Fluid, reference is made to former
advertisements, or they may bn seen at the office.
