First! —Tlie American Agriculturist lias been enlarged and vastly im-^ 
^proved in all its various departments. It is now printed on super-calendered 
tinted paper with a glaze and finish which give clearness and distinctness to 
the type and illustrations. 
Second :—In addition to the old staff of Editors and life-long contribu-^ 
►tors who have aided in making the Journal what it is to-day, new names^ 
have been added to our Editorial force, whiclwill be still further strengthened 
with fresh acquisitions. 
Third !—Joseph Harris, the founder of the “ Genesee Farmer,” author of-< 
“ Walks and Talks on the Farm,” etc., and whose agricultural writings have-< 
► made him famous on both continents, has become one of the active Editors of^ 
►the American Agriculturist. 
Fourth :—The very note-worthy improvements made in the American Ag-< 
^ricultihrist since June last, embrace a complete transformation in the character'^ 
► of the illustrations. Hew and talented Artists have been employed, until the-< 
► engravings and illustrations in the American Agriculturist have become, dur--< 
►ing the past four months, more numerous and far superior to those appearings 
►in any similar publication. The American Agriculturist has for years beens 
►the recognized authority in all matters pertaining to agriculture ; it has now, s 
►this year, become the first Illustrated Agricultural Journal of the world.
