JCf- We are prepared to bind books to order. 



but we fear they are too frequently pas?cd over by 

 their readers, with scarcely an acknowledsrinent of 

 their truth. They are stubborn facts neverth.liss, and 

 should go far to convince every patriotic man that it 

 is his duty to lend his support to a good Agricultural 

 paper, even though he may neither get his living at 

 the plough-lail, nor be directly interested in the man- 

 affement of a single acre. 



From a late number of the J\rew England Farmer, 

 we perceive that our highly valued friend, J. S. Skin- 

 ner, of Washington, is about to take charge of the 

 Agricultural and Horticultural department of the 

 ' JVew York Mbion. This is a paper of great respecta- 

 bility and wide circulation, both in this country and 

 in England, and we have particular satisfaction in 

 learning that the individual referred to, will thus have 

 an opportunity, under the responsibilities of this con- 

 nection, to throw before the public the results of his 

 long experience and practice, and doubt not that the 

 portion of his own enthusiasm, which he wiU be able 

 to infuse into the public mind in relation to his favour- 

 ite pursuit, will have a wholesome influence. When 

 five and twenty years ago, he established the Ameri- 

 can Farmer in Baltimore, mainly for the public good, 

 and as a medium for the outpourings of his own mind 

 on agricultural matters, how meagre were the re- 

 sources of the I'armer, to which he could refer for in- 

 formation in any department of his business in which 

 lie felt that he needed instruction. What a change 

 has been eft'ected in the Press of the country — and 

 what a still greater change has lliere been in the cha- 

 racter of our agriculture. The steam engine has hard- 

 ly infused more life into our workshops, or more won- 

 derfully multiplied the conveniences which have been 

 thrown within reach of every department of society, 

 than the general ditlusion of agricultural knowledge 

 by our agricultural papers, has improved our modes of 

 farming— increased the productiveness of our lands, and 

 consequently added to the comforts of those who occu 

 py thorn. These are facts which we are aware are oc 

 casionally brought forward by our agricultural papers 



To many of our subscribers who are in arrears, we 

 this month send their bills. Attention is particularly 

 invited to them ; and they may be reminded that Post- 

 masters are at lilvrty by law, to frank remittances to 

 publishers in payment of subscriptions, as well as to 

 receive nev/ subscribers and remit payment. Our 

 friends are invited to avail themselves of this mode 

 of settling otir numerous little demands. Our expenses 

 are necessarily heavy, and continual. It is only asked 

 of each of our subscribers, promptly to bear his small 

 part in their payment, and to do all he can in adding 

 to the number on our subscription list. It gives the 

 editor much pleasure to avail himself of this opportu- 

 nity to acknowledge his strong obligations to the kind- 

 ness and courtesy of the Post-masters of the country, 

 from Canada to Florida, and f om New Jersey to the 

 Cherokee Nation. He respectfully solicits a continu- 

 ance of this kindness. 



COLEMAN'S AGRICULTURAL TOUR IN 

 EUROPE. 



It will not be forgotten that subscriptions to this- 

 work, are received at the office of the Farmers' Cabi- 

 net; where every farmer in the country will be hear- 

 tily welcome as a subscriber to both, or either of these 

 publications. Single Numbers will be sold. 



The first number of a new volume, in neat quarto 

 form, of the American Rail Road Journal and Gene- 

 ral Advertiser for Rail Roads, Canals. Steamboats, Ma- 

 chinery and Mines, published in New York by D. K. 

 Minor, editor and proprietor, has been received. It 

 will henceforth appear weekly, at three dollars a year. 

 We have long been in the habit of looking over the 

 numbers of this work as they have regularly appeared, 

 for a record of all that is valuable in relation to the 

 matters on which it professes to treat. The industry 

 and biisiness talent of its editor, aided as he is, by sci- 

 entific and practical men, will enable him to make his 

 Journal every way important to those who are con- 

 nected with the great internal improvements of our 

 country. 



A NEW series of the J^'ew York Farmer and Mechanic, 

 in newspaper form, to be published w'eekly.in New 

 York, has been commenced with the year. In addition 

 to much agricultural and miscellaneous matter, it will 

 be made the channel of communication for those inte- 

 rested in the silk cause.
