PROSPECTUS. 



Fessendcn's Practical Farmer and Silk Manual, devoted 

 to Jlgriculture, Rural Economy and the Culture of 

 Silk. Published monthly at fifty cents per annum. 



This is the title, and these the conditions of a 

 work intended to embrace the subjects of Agri- 

 cuLTnRE and Silk Cdlture. It will contain, 

 chiefl}', articles on Practical Farming and Rural 

 Economy, selected from the Weekly New Eng- 

 land Farmer, and therefore intended for those 

 who are not subscribers for that work. 



We hope and believe that the culture of Silk, 

 in some, if not in all its branches will, eventually 

 become the employment of a portion of the family 

 of every farmer ; and not only be made a source 

 of considerable profit to the individuals engaged 

 in this fine art but a great natwnal henefit ; not 

 only save millions to the United States now sent 

 out of the cointry for the importation of this 

 useful as well as elegant article, but become a 

 source of national income by its exportations. 

 There is a certainty of a sale for this article, as 

 the wants and the wishes of the wearers and 

 consumers will increase with the copiousness and 

 facilities of the supplies. The amount now con- 

 sumed in the country may be in some degree 

 estimated by reference to the value of the raw 

 Silk now imported, which as it appears by official 

 documents, exceeds ten millions of dollars, 

 annually. 



In connexion with subjectsrelating to Agriculture 

 the Practical Farmer will contain the experiments 

 and opinions of cultivators engaged in the grow- 

 ing of Mulberry trees, as well as the manufacture 

 of Silk; avoiding such theories an<l speculations 

 as might probably mislead, or be misunderstood 

 by those who are practically concerned in Silk 

 manufacture. And we would respectfully solicit 

 communications from those who are or may be 

 engaged in silk culture, to enricli the pages of our 

 Silk Manual. 



Postmasters and others who may be disposed 

 to assist us in obtaining subscribers, will please to 

 retain 10 per cent of the money which they may 

 receive for subscriptions ; and the aid of all who 

 are friendly to the objects of our periodical is 

 respectfully solicited.

ViVLUABLE AVORK. ON AGRICULTURE. 



This Day published by Gfo. C. Barrett, THE COM- 

 PLETE FARMER AND RURAL ECONOMIST. By T. 

 G. FesSenden. Second edition, revised and improved by tlie 

 Author, with considerable additions. 



The first ed'tion v\ as published last season, and the sale was 

 rapid beyond precedent for a work of this kind. The present 

 improved and stereotyped impression has still higher recom- 

 mendations to public patronage, and cannot fail to prove still 

 more useful lo the community of cultivators. 



This work has met with decided and universal approbation 

 from- the most compptent judges. Among the written and 

 printed recommendatory notices are those of the Hon. Johm 

 Lowell and Rev. Henry Colman. The Editors of Ihe 

 New York Farmer, the New England Magazine, the iVIainC 

 Farmer, Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, ^*c. have given favor- 

 able critiques of the Complete Farmer. We shall subjoin Mr 

 Lowell's notice, and propose in some future number to pubhsh 

 those of the other gentlemen who have honored the work with 

 their approbation. 



"Roxbury, April 6, 1835. 



" Having perused with attention the Complete Farmer and 

 Rural Economist, by Thomas G. Fesseuden, Esq. in its first 

 edition, and ha\ing recently revised it at his request, prepara- 

 tory to a second edition, I am of opinion that it is a valuable 

 compendium and useful work. Those who know that the sci- 

 ei.ce of Agriculture is so extensive as to fill twelve quarto vol- 

 umes in the celebrated French work of the Abbe Rozier, and a 

 space not less in English works, will not expect in such^ff a- 

 bridgement full details in any one branch of that extensive and 

 varied art. But 1 know of no abridged work in the French or 

 English languages which conveys more instruction 1n so Small 

 a compass than this work of Mr Fessenden.
