Vol. 11. 



To the Readers of the Cabinet. 



With the present number we commence the second volume of the Farmers' Cabinet, 

 The experience of the last year, and an increasing- correspondence with gentlemen who 

 have devoted themselves to the science of agriculture, has not only convinced us more than 

 ever, of the great importance of an agricultural newspaper in this section, but has deter- 

 mined us to persevere in our enterprize as long as we have a fair prospect of being sus- 

 tained. In the prosecution of our work, we ask the aid of the friends of an enlightened 

 system of agriculture — they can aid us essentially, by their communications, and also by 

 introducing the Cabmet among their friends. From the nature of our publication, and the 

 wide extent of country over which it is designed to circulate, we must, in a great measure, 

 depend upon individual aid. Now, would it not be an easy matter for any farmer, who feels 

 an interest in the prosperity of our work, to obtain among his own personal friends, in his 

 own neighborhood, six subscribers for the Cabinet ? In carrying on our work successfully, 

 we need — 1. Communications on all subjects of interest to the agricultural community : these 

 communications should be written in a plain, easy, fiirmer style. 2. We require a large 

 list of subscribers — as a paper of this description has no revenue from advertising, it re- 

 quires a much larger subscription to sustain it than an ordinary newspaper. The expenses 

 are heavy, and so far, by adhering to our terms, we have been enabled to meet all the de- 

 mands against the establishment, and we therefore commence the second year of our work 

 unembarrassed. We do not wish to obtrude our private affairs upon the public, but we 

 deem this statement necessary in justice to our subscribers who have paid in advance. We 

 have gone upon the cash principle, believing it to be the only system upon which a news- 

 paper widely circulated, can be properly sustained. And our subscribers we are satisfied, 

 will not object to our adherence to a rule so necessary and wholesome. Indeed, but little ob- 

 jection was made to advance payments, even in the commencement of our work. 



A copy of this number is forwarded to all our old subscribers whose term of subscription 

 expired with the twenty-fourth number, or the first volume. But no more will be sent to 

 such persons unless they renew their subscriptions. Post Masters are hereby authorized, 

 and also respectfully requested, to forward the names of such persons, and receive payment, 

 and, after deducting twenty per cent, commission, transmit us the balance of any moneys 

 they may have received. Or, any gentleman may constitute himself a special agent, by 

 remitting us Five Dollars free of postage, for which sum we will send seven copies, ac- 

 cording to his direction. 



Postage, We have hesitated a long time on this subject, but it has increased to such 

 an extent of late, that we are at last compelled to beg our friends not to taj: us unneces- 

 sarily.
