PROSPECTUS
FOR PUBLISHING A MONTHLY PAPER
JN BALTIMORE, TO BE AI.LED
THE CULT UR 1ST.
On subjects connected with Agriculture, to include
an Emigrants’ Department, containing such in
formation as may be useful to persons making a
settlement in the West, or seeking new fields of
agiiralturnl entemrije.
SUHSCKIBCU proposes to issue a
-I monthly sheet, in quarto form, of sixteen pa
ges, oti husbandry, pastoral affairs, and kindred
subjects :—a portion of the. paper to be occupied
with notices geogrupfiicnl, statistical and historic al
of such portions of tin- West ns will hoof most in
terest to Western settlers, and also of portions of
the South.
Agriculture is the most ancient occupation of
man. It is also the most useful, the most indepen
dent, the happiest, the most healthy, the most pro
fitable and the most honorable.
Knt this is not all. Agriculture comprehends in
itself more scicnec, than any other occupation in
the whole circle of human pursuits and industry.
Geology, chemistry, vegetable physiology, all make
a part of the thorough know ledge of this most ex
tensive and useful art. They are indeed but the
beginnings of the vast field of knowledge contain
ed within it. So th <t if a man can he a thorough
agriculturist, ho will be in the large sense of the
word a luarued man.
Farmers however have l>ecn, to a great extent,
opposed to what they called science, or book-farm
ing, from a mist ikon idea that whatever was in
print was merely speculative, and matter of theory.
If it were so indeed, they would he right in con
demning it. It is however a mistaken idea. Sci
cnc< is the result of experience and practice. It is
the ripe harvest of fat ts, reaped not by one irnu in
one field, but gathered by all the laborer* through
outall the harvest fields of the earth in year after
year from the beginning.
Every intelligent Uriner likes to talk to his neigh- I
..r, and draw advantage from his experience.
This rxp<ricn< e in no kgs valuable for bring de
livered to him in print, by types, than if it Should
be given to him by hi* neighbor, by word of mouth.
It is the same thing.
Skill in the manual of hoeing anti ploughing can
n« ver make a firmer, it makes only an app entice
in the art. Rinrr the multiplication of ngricultu
ral papers and *t*-ietks in this country, there has
been a great improvement in the stale of agricul
ture.
It i* designed t-> give in tills paper all useful gen
eral 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 science as may assist, light
en and make more profitable the hardy anti hon
orable toil of the farmer.
A secondary object will be m p.;*,. information to
persons making settlement in th<- West ; from per
sonal knowledge mostly—so that they will he able
to make judicious selections, and proceed in fhr es
tablishing of their new Icmcs to best advantage
and some description of the lands of Maryland and’
Virginia, with the modes of renovating them.
Th< price will bo one dollar, invariably in ad
vance.
Agricultural and Emigration Mocieties, nnd oth
ers who subscribe for one hundred copies or more, '
will be supplied ar ft?f> ger hArndrkt
postmasters and country collectors are reqitesfed
to act a* agents. All such will be allowed 20 per
cent; and any person sending five dollars will have

rriIK PATENT GALVANIC RINGS. &
A M.\(iM,nc FLUID.—This remarkable dis
covery has received the universal approbation of
the Medical Profession of Great Britain, and has
been sufficiently long before the American public
to given fnii trial of its power and ellieacv. The
I A I EN I GALVANIC KINGS have been found to
answer all the purposes for which ordinary Galvan
ic Battery or Electric and Magnetic Machines are
used, but arc without any of trie injurious shocks
which accompany the applications t>y those in-dru
iRcnts, and in many other respects are more safe
and certain in accomplishing the desired object.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with perfect
success in all cases of Rheumatism, acute or chron
ic, applying to the head, face or limbs ; Gout, Tic
Dolorcux. Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo. Nervous
or Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralysis, Palsy,
Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitation ot the Heart)
Apoplexy, Stiffness of Joints, Lumbago. Neural-da,
General Debility, Deficiency of Nervous Energy)
and all Nervous Disorders. In eases of confirmed
Dyspepsia they have been successful. Their extra
ordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be believed; and as n certain preventive for
the above complaints they are equally to be recom
mended. The Galvanic Rings arc in every way
perfectly harmless, and are sold at nriees to be
within the reach of all. Cristie’s Magnetic Fluid
is used in connection with the Rings, to render
their efficient action certain, and to direct the Gal
\ariit influence to the particular pot lions which ar c
affected.
For numerous certificates of the highest charac
u r regarding the efficacy of the Galvanic Rings
and Magnetic Fluid, reference is made to former
advertisements, or they mav be seen at the office
