THE CHEAPEST AGRICULTURAL PAPER IN THE UNITED STATES : 



THE FARMER'S MONTHLY VISITOR 



PUBLISHED AT CONCORD, N. H.

" Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God. whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit fur substantial and genuine virtue."— Jefferson. 



Oa the first of January, The Monthly Visitor will have 

 been published ten years in one hundred and twenty suc- 

 cessive numbers, containing each sixteen pages of the royal 

 quarto size, and being of itself a library of instructive mat- 

 ter, valuable even after its time, to the common farmer. 

 During the term of its existence, in all the old thirteen At- 

 lantic States of the Union, there has been an awakening at- 

 tention to the necessity of agricultural improvement ; and 

 in that time the six New England States, in many of their 

 counties, have made greater agricultural advances than in all 

 the previous half a century of years. The Visitor has had 

 its humble share in arousing the spirit of improvement; in 

 none, or very few instances, has it published those mistaken 

 articles calculated to mislead : it claims the alone merit of 

 holding back in the Morns Mullticaulis speculation — it has 

 recommended no new plan or system of agriculture where 

 its editor felt any uncertainty about its practicability. Our 

 aim has been to adapt all recommended improvements es- 

 pecially to New England and to Northern cultivation. That 

 the Visitor has had its influence in many neighborhoods, is 

 proved to its editor in repeated acknowledgments of its 

 readers and patrons in all the Now England States. 



Our annual subscription list has varied in the last nine 

 years between 2500 and 6000 : the smaller number will 

 scarcely pay the ordinary expenses of publication at the re- 

 duced prices. The labor of the editor all the time has been 

 gratuitous. 



While our paper is the cheapest in the country for the 

 quantity and value of its matter, it is such a publication as 

 interferes with the circulation of none of the other useful 

 publications of the day. It has no controversy with any of 

 the religions or political dogmas of sects or parties — it has 

 presented no matter calculated to provoke the hostility of 

 the mendacious, to awaken obstinate prejudice, or to raise a 

 blush upon the cheek of modesty — it is fitted for the read- 

 ers of both the parlor and the kitchen. 



The Visitor is issued from the Bookstore of JOHN F. 

 BROWN, Concord, N. H., to whom all subscriptions and 

 communications (paid or free of postage if possible] may be • 

 directed as for the business of the new year.
