PROSPECTUS
FOR. PUBLISHING A MONTHLY PAPER
If* BALTIMORE, TO B. E CALLED
THE CULTU HIST.
On si'.bjcctR connected with A grir.ulturc, to include
nn Emigrants’ Department,' containing such in
formation ns may be useful to persons making a
settlement in the West, or seeking new field* of
agricultural enterprise.
TltlE SUBSCRIBER proposes to issue a
monthly sheet, in quarto form, of sixteen pa
ges, on husbandry, pastoral affairs, and kindred
subjects:—a portion of the paper to be occupied
with notices geograpbic.il,* tallstical and historical
of *uch portions of the Wi;*t ns will be of most in
terest to Western settlers,: nid also of portion* of
the South.
Agriculture is the moat ancient occupation of
nmn. It is also the most uricful, the most indepen
dent, the happiest, the inos t healthy, the most pro
fitable and the most honorable.
Hut this is not all. Agr iculture comprehends in
itself more science, than any other occupation in
the whole circle of huma n pursuits and industry.
Ge ology, chemistry, vegetable physiology, all make
•'* part of the thorough ktiowle.dgeof this most ex
tensive and useful art. They arc indeed but the
beginnings of the vast field of knowledge contain
ed within it. So that if a man can be a thorough
ag ricult'.irist. he will be « n il,„ Urm> ,7...
wo r<l a learned man.
1.farmers however have been, to a great extent,
op- rao*ed to what they call cd science, or book-farm
ini f, from a mistaken idea that whatever was in
pri nt was merely specula live, and matter of theorv.
If it were so indeed, they would he. right in con
demning it. It is however a mistaken idea. Sri
en re is the result of experience and practice. It is
th e ripe harvest of fat ts. reaped not by one man in
on e field, but gathered by all the laborers through
oo t all the. harvest fields of the earth in year after
yt ar from the beginning-.
K very intelligent farmer likes to talk to his neigh
0 r, and draw udvants-ge from his experience.—
T his experience is no less valuable for being de
li /errd to lum in print, by types, than if it should
b< J given to him by his neighbor, by word of mouth.
It is the same thing.
Skill in the manual of hoeing and ploughing cr in
r ever makes farmer. It make? only an apprentice
1 n the art. .Since the multiplication of ngricult li
ra! paper* and societies in this country, there t.as
1 »eeti a great improvement in the state of agric til
t .urc.
It is designed to give in this paper all useful g rn
rral intelligence relating to rural affairs and ec <>n
omy, whether of implements, stocks, seeds, modes
of culture, articles of c ulti vation, soils, or fertiliz ers;
and such discoveries of science as may assist, li gbt
<n and make more profitable the hardy and non
of able foil of the farm,or.
A secondary object will be to give information to
persons making settl rment in the West : from per
sonal knowledge montly—so that they w ill be able
j} to make, judicious selections, and proceed in the es
; tabli shing of their new homes to best advantage,
f ••’"d >vime deseriptir.fi of the lands of Marylan i and
Virrinia, with the modes of re.novating them.

T1!,*: patent galvanic rings, a
-I- MAGNETIC FLUID.—This remarkable dis
covery has received the universal approbation bf
the Medieal Profession of Great Britain, and has
been sufficiently long before the American public
to give a Inir trial of its power and efficacy. The
PATENT GALVANIC KINGS have been found to
answer all the purposes for which ordinaiy 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 sai'k
and certain in accomplishing the desired object.
I be Galvanic Bines have been used with perfect
success in ail eases ot Rheumatism, acute or chroti
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, Stiffness of Joints, Lumbago. Neuralgia,
General Debility, Deficiency of Nervous Energy,
ami all Nervous Disorders. In cases of confirmed
Dy-pepsia they have been successful. Their extra
ordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be believed; and as a certain preventive for
the above complaints they are equally tube recom
mended. The Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless, and arc sold at prices to be
within the reach of all. Oristik’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 poi tions which are
affected.
For numerous certificates of the highest charac
ter regarding the efficacy of the Galvanic Rin"*
and Magnetic Fluid, reference is made to firmer
advertisements, or they may he seen at the office
