The American Agriculturist is now in the seventh year of its public 

 From its commencement it took a high stand ; and has ever since been const 

 by the press and all unbiased judges, as the LEADING PERIODICAL of its 

 in America. It has a large and rapidly increasing circulation throughou 

 United States, the Canadas, and other British possessions, the West Indies 

 South America ; and we may fearlessly assert, that it has given more reliab 

 formation on rural subjects, and been perused with greater general satisfa 

 than any paper of the kind yet published. 



The American Agriculturist treats of every description of domestic an 

 and poultry ; their characteristics, breeds, the best and the worst ; their ad? 

 ges and disadvantages ; their mode of breeding, feeding, rearing, and treatr 

 their uses, profits, management, &c. It also treats of all cultivated crops, i 

 ding fruits, shrubbery, &c. ; the best seeds, mode of planting, cultivating, gs 

 ing, and preparing for markets ; the general principles of vegetation and the 

 of vegetable life. It describes the principles of mechanics as applied to mac 

 ry used by farmers and planters ; the best machinery and implements for 

 culture, their uses and the particular superiority of some over others, and 

 adaptedness for particular purposes, &c.

It also gives the latest improvements in those implements which may have 

 made, and suggests others ; tells where they are to be found, and the benefit; 

 will follow from their use. It also specifies new objects of cultivation, and 

 they may be better prepared for a profitable market and more general use. ' 

 are a part only of the objects of this paper ; yet they, with the other su 

 treated, are of universal interest and general application. Nineteen-twentieths 

 that is to be found in it is of the same use to one part as to any other p 

 America. Yet we find people constantly objecting that it is not printed in 

 particular section of country, and that it is not suited to their wants. D 

 make any difference where a boy acquires his education, provided it be a 

 wie and he be correctly taught ? Where he studies his profession of dfr 

 toedicine, or even law? Cannot he take the principles he has acquired, and 

 them equally well in any part of America? Are not the blessed sunli) 

 heaven, the rain, the dew, the heat, and the frost, though sometimes differi 

 degree, of equal relative effect wherever they are felt, whether within the t 

 or the polar circles, the eastern or western hemisphere ? 



If the question were as to a choice between a good paper printed here or 

 it were another matter. But throughout extensive regions this is not the 

 and it is either a good paper or none '-ti all ; and even if there were one for 

 particular section of country, we nrgnt still urge a general circulation ft 

 awx ; for no one will embrace all tha is important to be known.
