On subjects connccte d with Agriculture, to include
an Emigrants’ Department, containing such in
formation as may be useful to persons makin-r a
settlement in the West, or seeking new fields of
agricultural enterprise.
rP,,E ^ V RSC-111 It UR proposes to issue a
X monthly sheet, in quarto form, of sixteen pa
ges, on husbandry,, pastoral affairs, and kindred
subjects: a portio n of the paper to be occupied
with notices geogra pbical, statistical and historical
of such portions of the West as will be of most in

Agriculture is t’nc most ancient occupation of
man. It is a^o the most useful, the m-st indepen
dent, the happiest, the in-wt healthy, the most pro
fitable and the most honorable. K
. Hut this is not all. Agriculture comprehends in
itself more scenee than any other occupation in
the whole circle of human pursuit* and industry
Geology,chemistry, vegetable physiology, all make
a part of the thorough knowledge of this most cx
ensive and useful art. They arc indeed but thc
beginning* of thc vast field of knowledge contain
ed within it. So that if a man can be a there,u~h
agriculturist, he ivill be in thc large sense of the
word a learned man.
farmers however have been, to a great extent
opposed to what tney called science, or book-farm’
tng, 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. Sri
ence is the result of experience and practice It is
She ripe harvest of fa< ts reaped not by one man in

out all the harvest fields of the earth in year after

or, and draw advantage from his experience _
This experience is no less valuable for being de
livered to him in print, by types, than if it should
be given to him by hi* neighbor, by word of mouth,
i It is the same thing.
Skill in the manual of hoeing and ploughing ran
never make a farmer. It make* only an apprentice
in the art. Since the multiplication of agrieoltu
ral papers and aocielics in this country, there has
been a great improvement in the state of agricul
turc.
It, is designed to give in this paper all useful gen
Oral intelligence relating to rural affairs nod cron
fmy. whether of implements, stocks, seeds, mode
of culture, articles of cultivation, soils, or fertilisers;
and such discoveries of science ns 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_80 that they will be able
o make judietous selection,, „nd proceed in the. es
