TO THE CONDUCTOR O? THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE* 



On the Culture of Potatoes and the Cauje of Curl. 



Nihil humani a me alienum puto. 



Sir, 



1 have been a regular and conflant reader of your Maga- 

 zine from its commencement ; and I efteem it fo highly, and 

 think its tendency fo beneficial, that I confider it as the duty of 



- every vvellwilher to the profperity of the country to give it all 

 the fwpport and encouragement thtry can. You will give m^ 

 leave to lay, that I look upon its txcellence as confifting, not 



'' fo much in the information which it exhibits upon fubied^s of 



^agriculture (though that is certainly confiderable) as in its gene- 

 ral tendency to excite and encourage a fpirit of inquiry, of emu- 



">dation and cnterprife, and to elicit and combine every fpark of 

 genius, and every obfervation of experience, from the mats of 



?the community ; that the mind may be thereby roufcd to reilec«- 

 tion and attentive obfervation, from which only we may fondly 

 hope will refult a fyftem of agriculture founded on the Iblid ba- 



j iis of judgment and experience.
