PROSPECTUS FOR THE 



JOURNAL OF THE 



Illinois State Agricultural Society. 



The Executive Committee of the Illinois State Ag- 

 ricultural Society believe the time has arrived, when 

 the publication of a Journal of the Society is impera- 

 tively demanded. Pursuant, therefore, to the duty 

 with which they are charged by the 5th section of the 

 Constitution of said Society, revised and adopted by 

 the meeting of delegates from County Agricultural 

 Societies, held on the Fair Grounds, at Jacksonville, 

 Sept., 1860, they have made the necessary arrange- 

 ments for the issue of such Journal, monthly, com- 

 mencing with January, 1862. 



Each number will contain at least 32 pages (octavo) 

 of reading matter, composed principally of such por- 

 tions of the Transactions of the State and County 

 Societies, and communications on the subjects of 

 AGRICULTURE IN ALL ITS BRANCHES, 

 Mechanics and Natural History, as may require early 

 publication. 



All premiums offered and awards made by the State 

 Society will appear in its columns. 



All pertons, and especially Secretfirieg and other 

 oflBcers of County Societies, are respectfully requested 

 to communicate to the editor any matters of general 

 interest to the industrial classes, as may from time to 

 time arise in their respective localities. 



To place the Journal within the reach of all, the 

 subscription price has been fixed at 



FIFTY CENTS A YEAR! 

 Barely sufficient to cover cost 0/ publication, payable 

 invariably in advance. 



Back numbers for the current year will bo furnish- 

 ed until the edition is exhausted. 



All subscriptions and communications may be for- 

 waided to the undersigned, Springfield, Ills.
