70 THE CULTIVATOR. Feb. 
for corn. Fifty bushels of seed per acre on rich land 
with high cultivation, is considered an average yield. 
We cannot state the market value of the seed per bush¬ 
el. The method of making the oil is the same as that 
of linseed oil; but the seed should be hulled, which is 
readily done by machinery, else the yield of oil will be 
one half less. When well managed, a gallon of oil may 
be obtained per bushel. The oil is excellent for lamps 
—has no smoke or offensive smell—and is preferred by 
many for table use to olive oil. The oil is also used in 
the preparation of fine soaps. The seed is excellent for 
fowls. 
TO OUR AGENTS. 
We should be ungrateful indeed, did we fail to return 
our acknowledgments to those kind friends who have 
enabled us, in almost all cases without any compensa¬ 
tion other than that derived from the gratification of 
benefitting the public, to acknowledge the receipt of 
over Nine Thousand subscribers the last month, being 
more than 1,000 over the number received in the same 
month last year. We should be glad, did circumstan¬ 
ces permit, to render our personal thanks to each indi¬ 
vidual who has so kindly lent his services to aid us in 
promoting the circulation of u The Cultivator,” and 
thus, as we trust, to awaken an increased attention, on 
the part of our farmers, to the lights which science and 
experience are shedding upon the pursuits of Agricul¬ 
ture. Annexed is a list of the post-offices, from which 
orders have already been received for 20 or more copies

| out the plan, and we trust the Journal ” will commend itself to 
a large class of readers 
A greatly increased subscription, (over that which the First Se¬ 
ries of 50 volumes could number, is required to sustain the expense

efficiently as agents in procuring new subscribers.

fiftieth volume, to consist of a General Index of the entire series,
