FARMERS' REGISTER. 



DISCONTINUANCES OF SUCSCniPTIONS WITH- 

 OUT OKDliRS FKOM SITBSCKIBERS. 



Besides all the discontinuances of subscriptions 

 to tlie Farmers' Register made by the choice and 

 under the proper orders of subsciibers, (which, 

 however sorry we may be to receive, are always 

 promptly obeyed,) there are two large classes of 

 names which will be erased from the list for fu- 

 ture issues, without the order of the individuals, 

 and no doubt in many cases contrary to their 

 wishes. In all such cases, we have to excuse the 

 reluctant act by reference lo the circumstances — 

 and to profess our great willingness to restore the 

 names of such erased subscribers, as soon as, by 

 payment of arrears, or by orders for renewed sub- ] 

 scription (according as either of the respective' 

 cases may exist,) they will remove the cause of 

 the suspension of our present connexion. 



The first class will embrace (as heretofore, and 

 as required by the rules of the Editorial Conven- 

 tion,) subscribers who are indebted for two years 

 or more. We know that this class comprehends 

 very many honorable and correct gentlemen, who, 

 merely from inattention to sucli small matters, 

 have permitted themselves to be confounded with 

 the never-paying subscribers and patrons who ruin 

 the publishers of periodicals. But we know not 

 how to discriminate, and ought not to discriminate, 

 even if knowing. Every good subscriber so im- 

 properly classed will owe it to his own neglect ; 

 the effect of which he can at once remedy, and 

 always prevent in future. 



Another class of discontinuances without order 

 may much more require apology, inasmuch as it 



will embrace subscribers who have fully paid 

 their dues, and in advance, and who may general- 

 ly desire lo continue on the list. These are the 

 new subscribers to the current volume (8lh) 

 brought in by other persons, and under the recent 

 rule of joint subscri|)iions. Though not in any way 

 required by our conditions, we shall suspend most 

 ol' such names, and await future orders from them 

 for renewal under the new published conditions (for 

 vol. ix.) By this step we may lose many, who, 

 if their names had been suffered to n^main, would 

 have continued good and punc'ual subscribers. 

 But all such may easily, by renewal, repair our er- 

 ror; and even if ihe.y neglect to do so, and iheirlii- 

 ture support to this work should be lost, we prefer 

 lo sustain the loss of a hundred good subscriptions, 

 rather than retain fen persons who may (however 

 wrong(ully) suppose that they were entrapped in- 

 to a continuance, and under conditions which ihey 

 did not understand, simply because they would not 

 read or attend to them,
