fered, the latter having indeed enough to do in putting 

 it before the public with enterprise and vigor. It was 

 issued simultaneously in Albany, Boston, New York 

 and Philadelphia, with 22 special agencies at other points, 

 including what was then the distant western town of 

 CleveLand, Ohio, as well as Hamilton and Cobourg in 

 "Canada West." Luther Tucker also founded, at Roeli- 

 ester, N. Y., October 27, 1826, the first daily paper j.ub- 

 lished west of New York, "The Advertiser," which is 

 still, under a slightly extended name, an iiilluential 

 journal; also at Rochester, January 1, 1831, "The (leiie- 

 see Parmer," a weekly, the first agricultural periodical in 

 the world written directly from the standpoint of prae- 

 tical experience. It has undergone some eliaiiKes in

 adopted resolutions (afterwards reenacted at the time 

 of his death) to the effect that the great success of the 

 early fairs, paving the way for those that followed, was
