the Cultivator a high character and standing 

 among agricultural periodicals. Its circulation is 

 extensive. 



The 'Franklin Farmer,' published at Frankfort, 

 Ky., by F. D. Pettit, weekly, quarto, at 82 00 per 

 annum, is one ot" the most spirited and ably con- 

 ducted journals west of the Allegany mountains. 

 In every thing relating to the improvement of cat- 

 tle and swine, it is without a rival, and on the gene- 

 ral topics of agriculture it has done much to in- 

 troduce a more scientific and rational system into 

 that state. It is now in its second volume. 



The 'Farn)er's Cabinet,' is published monthly at 

 Philadelphia, by J. Libby, m numbers of 32 pages 

 octavo, at $1 00 per annum. It is an excellent 

 work, has an able corps of contributors, and a good 

 circulation. A part of Pennsylvania furnishes 

 6ome of the best specimens of farming in the 

 United States; and the diti'usion of such works 

 as the Cabinet among an industrious population 

 will have a tendency to greatly increase the num- 

 ber ol" such examples. 



The 'Indiana Farmer,' is published weekly at 

 Indianapolis, at $2 50 per annum, quarto, by Os- 

 born & Wiliets; and though not exclusively de- 

 voted to agriculture, has exerted a favorable influ- 

 ence on the farming community of that flourishing 

 state. 



The 'Tennessee Farmer,' Jonesbaro,' 16 pages 

 octavo, monthly, at .§1 per annum, J. F. Deader- 

 ick, editor. This is the first agricultural paper 

 issued in Tennessee, and is now in its third vo- 

 lume. 



The 'Rural Repository,' is a monthly reprint of 

 agricultural works of standard merit, ("entire, 

 compiled, abridged and original.") It is publish- 

 ed at New York, 40 large octavo pages monthly, 

 by S. Fleet, former editor of the 'New York 

 Farmer.' The talents of the editor, and the ample 

 field before him lor selection, gives the promise of 

 an excellent work ; and the numbers already be- 

 fore the public, (the second volume is entered 

 upon) show that any reasonable expectations will 

 not be disappointed. 



The 'Silk Culturist,' the first and a very valua- 

 ble publication on that subject, — was published at 

 Hartford, (Conn.) for three years — and we believe 

 it is still continued at Wetherfield, though we 

 have not seen it for the last year. 



The 'Practical Farmer,' Mechanirsburg, Pa., a 

 monthly quarto of 8 pages, at .^l a year. 



'American Turf Register and Sporting Maga- 

 zine.' This magazine has entered on its tenth 

 volume, and has been transferred from Baltimore 

 to New York, and is now under the supervision 

 of T. O. Porter, Esq. of the 'Spirit of the Times ;' 

 monthly octavo, .^5 a year. 



None of the following publications have com- 

 pleted their first volume and many of them have 

 but just appeared. To express a "definite opinon 

 respecting such, would in most cases be a prema- 

 ture act ; but some of them come forward under 

 Kuch auspices as to lead to high expectations 

 from their circulation among the agricultural com- 

 munity. 



The 'Miami Farmer,' quarto, semi-monthly, 

 ?^l 00 per annum, published by VV, Appleton, 

 Xenia, Ohio, No. 2, vol. I. 



'Southern Cultivator,' Columbia, Tennessee, 

 large quarto, semi-monthly, g2 00 per annum, 

 David Clayton publisher. ' A respectable paper 



we think, and devoted to agriculture and the kin- 

 dred sciences. Vol. 1. No. 7. 



'Western Farmer,' Franklin, Tennessee, month- 

 ly, quarto, (4 pages) F. Moore, editor, ^1 00 per 

 annum. Vol. 1. No. 7. 



The 'Cumberland Farmer,' Gallatin, Tenn., 

 monthly at $1 a year. Vol. I, No. 6. J. A. 

 Browning & Co. publishers, 



'Farmers' Monthly Visitor,' Concord, New 

 Hampshire, Hon. Isaac Hill, editor, quarto. 16 

 pages, well got up, and published at 75 cents per 

 annum. This monthly paper we are led to believe 

 is destined to take a high rank among agricultural 

 periodicals; and we think it speaks well lor the 

 cause of the larmer, when men who have attained, 

 to some of the highest offices in the gift of the 

 people, are willing to devote their talents and the 

 information they must have acquired, to the dif- 

 fusion of agricultural knowledge. Gov. Hill's 

 ' Monthly Visitor.' we predict, will be a welcome 

 guest with thousands of our farmers. 



'Wisconsm Culturist,' Milwaukee, Wisconsin 

 territory, semi-monthly, quarto, ^1 00 per annum. 

 W, P.'Proudfit, editor,' 



The 'National Silk Worm,' quarto, (4 pages) 

 Philadelphia, price ^1 00, Thomas C, Clark, 

 editor, 



'Cheshire Farmer,' Keene, New Hampshire, 

 quarto, monthly, 50 cents annually, B. Cooke, edi- 

 tor. A good little paper and worthy of patronage. 



'Michigan Agriculturist,' Detroit, H. H. Snell- 

 ing, editor, quarto, weekly, price S'2 00 per an- 

 num. It is a valuable paper, and should receive 

 an ample support from the farmers of that young 

 but flourishing state. 



The 'Maine Cultivator,' 4 pages quarto. Hallo- 

 well, W. A. Drew, editor, $] a year. It is edited 

 with much ability, and the only drawback with 

 which we had its appearance, arises from the cir- 

 cumstance that Maine already possesses two ex- 

 cellent agricultural papers, and we fear that there 

 is not room for a third. 



The 'Farmer's Advocate,' Jamestown, North 

 Carolina, octavo, 16 pages, semi-monthly, ^1 25 

 per annum, John Sherwood, editor, Mr. Sher- 

 wood deserves credit lor getting up an agricultural 

 paper in that section of the United States, and the 

 information his work diffuses will not be without 

 its effect on the agriculture of the state. 



'Boston Cultivator,' Boston; vol. 1, No. 15; 

 weekly, folio, ^2 00 per annum, Wm. Buckmin- 

 ster, editor. This we doubt not will be a valuable 

 paper, though we are unable to perceive the par- 

 ticular necessity for another agricultural paper in 

 that eity, where the ground has been so long and 

 ably occupied by the 'New England Farmer.' 

 The numbers already issued evince agricultural 

 skill, and a proper spirit of enterprise. There is 

 a little leaning, however, to the belligerent, which 

 should, we think, be eschewed, as out of place in 

 such a journal. 



The 'American Silk Grower,' octavo, (16 pages) 

 Burlington, N. J., Cheney & Brothers, editors, 

 monihTy, $1 00. This is one of the best publica- 

 tions devoted to the silk culture in the United 

 States ; embracing a great variety of practical ar- 

 ticles, the result of experience in this country. It 

 is got up also in very good style, and must be use- 

 ful to all who are entering upon the culture of silk. 



'Journal of the American Silk Society,' Balti- 

 more, monthly, 40 pages octavo, $2 00 per an-
