PROSPECTUS OF THE 
American Agriculturist- 
TO BE 
PRINTED IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE. 
Beginning July 1st, 1858. 
We take pleasure in Announcing to the large class of 
German people interested in Farming, Gardening, Fruit 
Growing, Stock raising, Implements, &c., as well as those 
who have, perchance, but a small village orcity plot under 
culture, that in order to meet the wants of those w ho as 
yet read only the German Language, we have completed 
arrangements, by which hereafter, the American Agricul¬ 
turist will be printed simualtaneously in both the English 
and German Languages. 
There are in the United States alone, several millions 
of German people, among whom are found a large num¬ 
ber of our most industrious and pains-taking cultivators of 
the Soil. In Germany more investigations are being made 
in Scientific and practical Agriculture, than in almost any 
other Country ; and besides a large number of Agricultur¬ 
al Schools and Colleges, there are several periodicals de¬ 
voted especially to practical Agiiculture and Horticulture. 
But in this country next to nothing has been done in this 
department. 
We, therefore, in response to oft repeated calls from 
the German people, very cheerfully enter the open 
field, and will endeavor to supply what seems to be a 
great desideratum, viz.: a Journal in the German Lan¬ 
guage, devoted exclusively to subjects connected with 
SOIL CULTURE, or to the out-door and In-door labors 
of Rural Life. 
Since practical operations are founded upon the same 
principles, and the modes of tillage are the same, whether 
pursued by those speaking English or German, we believe 
that a Journal carried on in both Languages may be bet¬ 
ter in each, than if published in either Language only, 
since a wider class of practical experience will thus be 
drawn from. 
Again, the use of the same engravings and editorials, as 
well as publishing force, in both editions, will economize 
expense, so that a much cheaper Journal, or a better one 
can be supplied for the same cost, than If two separate 
enterprizes were carried on. 
The American Agriculturist was originated in 1842, and 
it has now attained a circulation greater than any other 
like journal in the world, while it is on all hands acknow¬ 
ledged to be a standard work, unequalled for Ihe large 
amount of practical information it supplies at a very small 
cost. Time, patience and long experience have been re¬ 
quired to bring it to its present standard. The subscribers 
to the German edition will at once reap the benefit of all 
these advantages. 
The teachings of the Agriculturist are confined to no 
State or Territory, but are adapted to the wants of all sec¬ 
tions of the country—it is, as its name indicates, truly 
American in its character. 
The German edition will be of the same size and price 
as the English, and contain all of its reading matter, and 
its numerous illustrative engravings. 
TERMS—INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. 
One copy one year.$1 00 
Six copies one year.5 00

be taken from July to December inclusive, at half the 
above yearly rates.) 
The paper is considered paid for whenever it is sent, 
and will be promptly discontinued when the time for which 
it is ordered expires. 
All business and other communications should be ad¬ 
dressed to the Editor and Proprietor, 
ORANGE JUDD, 
No 189 Water st , New-York. 
*»* It is desirable that subscriptions to the German 
edition be forwarded as early as possible, that the names
