To whom all money for subscriptions, and subscribers' names may be addressed free of 

 postage, through the Post blaster of any town, by a regulation of the Post Master General. 



TERMS. — To single subscribers, Fiftij Cents. Ten per cent, ivill be allowed to the person 

 who shall send more than one subscriber. Twelve copies icill be sent /or the advance payment 

 of Five Dollars ; twentij-jive copies for Ten Dollars ; sixty copies Jor Tioenty Dollars. The 

 payment in every case to be made in advance. 



The continued favor with which the Visitor has been received, as well within as beyond 

 the limits of the State, emboldens us to ask the aid of all friends of Agriculture to furnish 

 the means which shall enable us to continue it. The price at which it is offered leaves little 

 or nothing beyond the actual expense of printing as compensation to the editor. Yet in the 

 favorite employment of a practical farmer which he hopes to be able to continue widiout per- 

 sonal sacrifice, it will give him pleasure to add that of monthly gatherer and caterer of such 

 new information as cannot fail to be advantageous to the judicious and discriminating farmer. 



Every successful example of improved agriculture — every case of accumulated capital in 

 the sure way of making greater crops upon any given quantity of land with less expense 

 and labor — has its effect in that neighborhood where it comes within observation : such an 

 example spreads so far as it attracts notice and attention. One of the principal advantages 

 of an agricultural newspaper is the bringing home to the business and bosoms of every reader 

 all such successful examples, and in this way at the moment arousing the man ambitious to 

 make the most of his means to " go and do likewise." The effect of example alone in 

 Great Britain — of one such successful farmer-operator as the late Mr. Coke who multiplied 

 the price of thousands of acres of land apparently without much value as it was without pro- 

 duction, to ten times its first estimate — has been the doubling the production of that kingdom 

 in the last twenty years. There is greater room for improvement in the United States than in 

 the old countries of Europe. If men are not in a situation to improve land themselves, they 

 cannot do better than to encourage the circulation of so cheap an agricultural paper as our 

 Farmer's Monthly Visitor. 



Oy Every Post Master who receives this paper is especially requested to aid the publishers 

 by this Agency ; and if any P. M. shall be too much occupied otherwise to attend to this, 

 will he plate the paper in the hand of some trusty friend of Agriculture who will do it for the 

 good of the cause — and remit to us the names of subscribers, Sic. which he may procure .''
