public, it behoves us to say but little, 

 lest what we observe should look like 

 egotism if we speak well of our own 

 etforts, and of affected humility if we 

 acknowledge our defects. We shall 

 merely suggest, that although Ave have 

 been so fortunate as to receive written 

 as well as verbal testimonials frodfour 

 most able agriculturists, very much in 

 favor of the manner in which the paper 

 is conducted, and are assured that it is 



"■ sreat good to the 



agricultural 



interests of the country ;" yet, unless 

 we have an addition of three or four 

 hundred subscribers for our next vol- 

 ume, we shall suffer considerable pecu- 

 niary loss by undertaking to print this 

 paper, and the loss will fall upon per- 

 sons who are not well able to sustain it.
