to sleep you cannot tickle his nose; and
when he is awake, he cannot run his
nose against a post. Let him drink what

In order to disseminate extensively
the many advantages which must flow
from the developement of new resources
and valuable improvements in the Agri
cultu-al World, it is reasonable to pre
sume, that a proper medium for the accu
mulation anil distribution of practical
knowledge, must prove of the first impor
tance. A periodical publication, devoted
to these purposes, if conducted with spir
it and industry, cannot prove otherwise
than eminently useful.
Under these impressions, the publishers
have determined on offering to the Agri
cultural community, the
FARMERS MAGAZI.YE,
as a repository of useful information;
satisfied that they cannot render to their
country a more valuable service, or better
contribute to its permanent prosperity,
than in subserving, as they hope to do, its
agricultural interests.
The leading feature of this publication
will be sustained by our own ample resour
ces, united to the promised contributions
of several Agricultural Societies, and
the assistance of distinguished agricultu
rists in this and other States.
The Literary and Scientific Depart
ment will be conducted by a gentleman,
heretofore editor of a popular literary
journal.
In furtherance of their views, the pub
lishers solicit original contributions on
Agriculture, Horticulture, Rural and
Domestic Economy, &c. and the co-oper
ation of agriculturists and the friends of
| agriculture throughout the country, to
! whom *9 respectfully submitted the fol
