Au Agricultural, Manufacturing and Scien- 

 tific Journal, 

 FOR THE MirriONI 



The undersigned, formerly of the Virginia 

 press, but now a resident of the great Commer- 

 cial Emporium of the Union, has determined to 

 commence tlie publication, at an early day, in 

 New York, of a Weekly Jouiinal under the above 

 euphonious title, which has heretofore been used 

 in a valuable monthly, founded by the late John 

 S.. Skinner, a veteran of the press, and a devotee 

 of the Science of Agriculture and Mechanic 

 Arts, and now published under the name of 

 "The American Farmers' Magazine," by Prof. 

 J. A. Nash. 



The proposed publication will, as its name 

 indicates, be devoted principally to promoting 

 two of the greatest interests of the country, to wit ; 

 Manufactures and Agriculture ; but it is also to 

 be the vehicle of much other valuable informa- 

 tion for the general reader, as well as for the man I 

 of Science, Art and Learning. It will be jjrinted 

 on handsome and distinct type, and in a con- ( 

 venient form for preservation. 



By calling to his aid talents of a high order, 

 .suited to the different branches of his proposed 

 paper, and by the active exercises of an energy 

 and tact which the undersigned pridfes himself 

 upon being able to command in the conduct of 

 such a journal as he proposes to lay before the 

 public, he hopes to present to the readers of 

 "The Plough, Loom, and Anvil,"' a weekly en- 

 tertainment which will make it a "welcome 

 guest" to every household, and aflbrd edification 

 for the time being, at least, if it does not prove 

 permanently instructive for the future. He pro- 

 poses to keep pace with the spirit of the age. by 

 advising his readers of all the new inventions 

 of the day, and by the publication, from time to 

 time, of well executed illustrations of many of 

 the most important improA^ements in Science, 

 Mechanic Arts ;)nd Agriculture, as they may be 

 heralded from the Patent Oifice at Washiiigtou. 



In the first number of tlie proposed Journal, 

 will appear illustrations, accompanied by well- 

 digested statistics of Henry's process of convert- 

 ing Seed .Cotton into yarns on the plantations of 

 the South, which process requires no other labor 

 or force to spin the cotton into yarns than to pre- 

 pare it for shipment in the raw state. The in- 

 formation to be thus furnished to the planter will 

 alone be worth more to him than the cost of a 

 century's subscription, since it will point out to 

 him how easily he can double, if not quadruple, 

 his income. Nor is it of less importance to the 

 country at large; for it will readily be seen that 

 every man, woman and child, throughout the 

 length and breadth of the old and new world, is 

 interested in its success. Its general adoption 

 will be alike advantageous to the North, the 

 South, the East, and the West.. It may, indeed, 

 be regarded as bringing about aYevolution in the 

 wealth and industry of thie eoim try, at lea 



without a parallel ; and the benefits it is to con- 

 Icr upon the Union, by cementing, together the 

 North and the South in one common interest, will 

 entitle the inventor to the gratitude of the nation. 



The combination of the machinery which is 

 to produce such astounding results Ivis been at 

 work already on the plantation of Geo. S. Yer- 

 ger, Esq., an extensive planter of Mississippi, 

 and, no far, its operations have proved satisfac- 

 tory beyond the most sanguine expectations of 

 all parties concerned.
