iff NEW AGRICULTURAL WARE 



The Subscribers have entered into a partnership under the style of 



For the transaction of a general Agricultural Business. In a few days they will open an Agricultural 

 Ware Room in this city, which they intend to keep supplied with PLOUGHS, STRAW CUTTERS, 

 CORNSHELiUERS, &c. &c. of their own manufacture. They will also keep a general assortment 

 of AXES, HOES, SPADES, SHOVELS, and every other agricultural implement. SEEDS, 

 also, of every variety will be furnished at the very lowest market prices. In short, it is their intention 

 to establish a house for the farmers of Virginia in which their wants can be completely supplied.

 All orders for Implements, &c. also for land agency, will be addressed to Botts & Baldwin ; letters in 

 relation to the Southern Planter, will be addressed, as heretofore, to C. T. Botts. 



OP A 



WEEKLY AGRICULTURAL AND MISCELLANEOUS 



NEWSPAPER. 



It has been urged upon the subscriber that a demand exists in Virginia for a larger agricultural paper 

 than is afforded in the limits of the Southern Planter, as at present organized. He himself has felt the 

 want, as his Subscribers and Contributors have increased, of elbow room ; but he has no idea of running 

 the risk of publishing a paper without a tolerable certainty of receiving a remuneration for his labor. He 

 therefore lays the following scheme before the public, to ascertain whether or not he will be supported in 

 it. He will publish a weekly newspaper in the city of Richmond, 22 by 35 inches, which shall be devoted 

 to Agriculture and Rural Economy, for Three Dollars a year, payable sixty days after the issue of the 

 first number. It shall be printed on excellent paper, with new type. It will be handsomely illustrated 

 with Cuts, and willaltogether present the most respectable appearance. 



The larger portion of the paper will be devoted to the subject of Agriculture, whilst the Literary 7 , 

 Commercial and Political News of the day will not be neglected. The last shall be given without fear, 

 favor, affection or comment. It is believed that by proper selections and a due. degree of labor, all that is 

 needed for general purposes in these departments may be condensed in a page of a weekly paper. In 

 short, it will be the object of the Editor to make the paper as interesting and instructive to the Farmer's 

 family as to the Farmer himself. For the Farmer, he will endeavor to procure the results of well tried 

 experiments ; he will seek to obtain and report the practices of the most successful cultivators, consider- 

 ing those the most learned who make the best crops ; he will keep his readers constantly advised of all 

 the improvements in agricultural machines and implements, illustrating the same with cuts, wherever the 

 nature of the subject demands it. For the Farmer's wife, he relies upon the promised assistance of the 

 best housewife he knows for collecting good household recipes, and for original directions for the manage- 

 ment of a house, kitchen, garden, poultry yard, &c. For the Farmer's daughter, he will seek a better col- 

 lection of humor, wit, and literary matter, than can be found in the Lady's Book or Graham's Magazine. 



If this project succeeds, the subscriber will be enabled to devote his whole time to the Agricultural 

 Interest of the State, and will have an opportunity to lay before his readers a great deal of valuable mat- 

 ter that is excluded from his present limits. 



But that he conceives the object of a Prospectus to be rather to explain the scope and design of the 

 work than to trumpet forth the merits of the Editor, he would say, that he has the vanity to believe that 

 if he is properly encouraged in this design, he can furnish an Agricultural and Literary newspaper that 

 would be welcome to <every hearth in Virginia. 



Under no circumstances will the Monthly Planter be discontinued. If the weekly paper goes into 

 operation the monthly periodical, in its present form, will be made up of the most valuable agricultural 

 matter in it. 



To carry this plan into execution, a thousand subscribers will be required to begin with, at least to 

 enable him to issue such a paper as the subscriber wishes to present to the public, and as he thinks the 

 Agricultural Interest of Virginia is entitled to demand. 



His friends who may receive this Prospectus will please, if they can, fill the blanks with names, and 

 return it to him within a reasonable period.
