 tural Sciences," will be published in our ne.xt. 



To the Patrons of the Farmers' Cabinet, 

 and tlie friends of Agriculture gene- 

 rally. 



The subscriber, from the earliest period of 

 his connexion with the Farmers' Cabinet, has 

 been convinced that the interest of the agri- 

 cultural commimity required an establishment 

 in this city, for the exhibition and sale of tools, 

 implements, and machinery used in the vari- 

 ous departments of agriculture and horticul- 

 ture, especially those of new and improved pat- 

 terns. He therefore takes great pleasure in 

 informing the public that he has formed a 

 business connexion with the Messrs. Prouty, 

 gentlemen who have been for some years 

 successfully engaged in the manufacture and 

 sale of improved implements in a neighbor- 

 ing city, and that they have opened an Agri- 

 cultural Ware-House, at No. 87 North Sec- 

 ond street, a few doors above Arch street, 

 Philadelphia. Their assortment of Tools and 

 Seeds, now on hand, will be increased, and 

 no effort will be wanting to render the estab- 

 lishment deserving a share of public patron- 

 age John Libby.
