 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, 1S62. 



Each number wiU 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 pi-emiums offered and awards made hy the State 

 Society will appear in its columns. 



All pertons, and especially Secretfiries and other 

 o£5eers 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 of publication, payable 

 invariably in advance.
