Joseph Dresser, who has for several years acted as 

 agent for our paper, particularly in Chester, and the 

 adjacent counties in this state, lias not been heard from 

 f.ir a long time. Our friends will please notice, that he 

 is no longer authorized to receive monies on our behalf. 

 We would be glad to see him. 



Such of our friends as have heretofore paid their 

 subscriptions to him, can readily avail themselves of 

 the kindness of post- masters, and communicate directly 

 with this office. Indeed, persons generally, whose sub- 

 scriptions were originally obtained by agents, can, 

 when those agents fail to call upon them, communicate 

 in the same way, directly with us. In such cases, re- 

 ceipts will be forthwith returned. 



A list of premiums, &c, offered by the Philadelphia 

 Agricultural Society, at the exhibition to be held at 

 the Rising Sun, on the Germantown road, on the 12th 

 and 13th of next month, was published in the Cabinet, 

 in the Fifth month last. We again call the attention 

 of those interested, to it. A public sale of stock, con- 

 ducted by Wolbert & Herkness, will be made on the 

 13th, the second day of exhibition. 



P. W.'s communications were received on the 9th.- 

 It was impracticable to insert them in this number.

THE FARMERS' CABINET, 



JS PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY 



JOSIAH TATUM, No. 50 NORTH FOURTH STREET, PHILADELPHIA. 



It is edited by Jamrs Tedder and the Proprietor, and 

 is issued on the fifteenth Of every mouth, in numbers 

 of 32 octavo pages each. The subjects will be illus- 

 trated by engravings, whenever they can be appropri- 

 ately introduced. 



Terms. — One dollar per annum, or five dollars for 

 seven copies — payable in advance. 



All subscriptions must commence at the beginning 

 of a volume. Having lately struck off a new edition 

 of one or two of the former numbers, which had become 

 exhausted, we are now able to supply, to a limited ex- 

 tent, any of the back volumes. They may be had at 

 one dollar each, in numbers, or one doliar twenty- 

 live cents half-bound and lettered. 



For seven dollars paid in advance, a complete set of 



the work will be furnished; including the first six 

 volumes half bound, and the seventh volume in num- 

 bers. Copies returned to the office of publication will 

 be neatly half bound and lettered at twenty-five cents 

 per volume. 



Hy the decision of the Post Master General, the 

 " Cabinet," is subject only to newspaper postage ; thai 

 is, one cent on each number within the state, or 

 within one hundred miles of the place of publication 

 out of the stale, — and one cent and a half to any 

 other part Of the United States— and Post Masters are 

 at liberty to receive subscriptions, and forward them 

 to the Publishers under their frank — thus affording nn 

 opportunity to all who wish it, to order the work, and 

 pay for it without expense of postage. 



From the Steam-Press of the late Proprietors and Publishers.
