"At a meeting of the Worcester County Agricultural Society, held at 

 Worcester, it was voted unanimously, as the sense of the Board, that the New 

 ENGLi^ND Farmer, an agricultural paper published in Boston, and edited by 

 Thomas G. Fessenden, Esq., has been conducted with spirit, intelligence and 

 p"ood judgment 5 that its columns are replete with useftil instruction in the 

 Dusiness of husbandry, and that its general circulation would tend most bene- 

 ficially to the knowledge and practical improvement of the Agricultural inter- 

 ests of the country. It is, therefore, recommended to the notice and patronag^e 

 of the public, and to the particular encouragement of the members of this 

 Society, and of farmers generally, by their subscription for the paper, and by 

 communications for publication. LEVI LINCOLN, President. ^ 



Attest, Wm. D. Wheeler, Rec, Sec^ryP 



Similar votes have been passed by the Massachusetts Agricultural Society,

 several others in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and New Brunswick. 



The following is from the North American Review, 

 " The New England Farmer is a weekly paper, printed in a royai 

 quarto form, and devoted to agriculture. Nearly three volumes have been 

 published. In its pui^poses and general character it resembles the Americas 

 Farmer. The New England Farmer, of course, is chiefly confined to the ag- 

 riculture of the Eastern States 3 although it contains communications of general 

 utility sent from different parts of the Union, and such occasional selections from 

 the best agricultural works, as are important in conveying useful knowledge to 

 the farmer. Well conducted journals of this sort must nave a most beneficial 

 effect on the community. To instruct the farmer in his art, and teach him 

 easier methods of tilling his soil, and drawing from it a more abundant product, 

 is to diminish the expense of cultivation, and save the same proportion of labour 

 to be employed in an additional production. 



" The Editor of the New England Farmer is well known to the public as an 

 able writer, and, if we mistake not, this Journal will prove, that his ability has 

 been emploj^ed with judgment and success in the walks of agriculture. Amonff 

 his contributors are some of our most distinguished citizens and experienced 

 agriculturists 5 and his work may undoubtedly be recommended to the farmers 

 of New England in particular, as containing a mass of knowledge highly useful 

 to them, which could not be obtained from any other single source. Farmers 

 in every part of the United States will also find it valuable, as a repository of 

 facts on the principles and practices of agriculture in general."
