The proprietors of the Farmers' Cabinet are making 

 arrangements for the publication of an Agricullural

 what diflerent from the Almanacs of the day,— and ev- 

 ery effort will be used to render it not only interesting, 

 but also valuable. As the edition will be very heavy, 

 and the circulation probably very extensive, it will be 

 accompanied by an advertising sheet. Persons who 

 wish to avail themselves of this means of extending 

 a knowledge of their business, will please communicate 

 with the publishers of the Cabinet.
