ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1855. 
The question having been frequently asked us of 
late, whether it was our intention to continue The Cul¬ 
tivator at its present low price, we take this early 
occasion to announce to our agents and friends, our ar¬ 
rangements for the next year. 
PRICE OF THE CULTIVATOR. 
I. Publishing, as we do, The Cultivator in con¬ 
nection with our weekly journal, the Country Gen¬ 
tleman, we are enabled to continue the issue of our 
monthly at the low rate of fifty cents, notwithstanding 
the increased expense occasioned by the rise in the 
price of paper and other materials, labor, &c. We 
shall, however, fix the price at one uniform rate— Fif¬ 
ty Cents —whether to individuals or to clubs; but 
we offer the following 
PREMIUMS TO CLUB SUBSCRIBERS. 
II. As an inducement to the formation of clubs, 
we shall send to clubs of twenty or more, a copy of the 
Illustrated Annual Register of Rural Affairs for 
1855—(for notice of which see last page of this num? 
her)—consisting of 144 duodecimo pages, illustrated by 
more than ONE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS, and 
got up in our usual neat style. Thus in a club of 
twenty, each subscriber will get a copy of The Cul¬ 
tivator one year, and a twenty-five cent book, for 
Fifty Cents. 
PREMIUMS TO AGENTS. 
III. As an inducement to Agents to exert themselves 
to form clubs, aside from the consciousness of the be¬ 
nefit they will confer upon their neighbors by placing 
such a work in their hands, we offer the following 
list of Premiums to those who send U3 the largest 
amount of cash subscriptions to our journals for the 
year 1855, previous to the 10th of April next: 
1. For the largest amount,. FIFTY DOLLARS.

7. For the next largest,.... TWENTY DOLLARS. 
8 For the next largest, .... FIFTEEN DOLLARS. 
9. For the next largest,_TEN DOLLARS. 
10. For the next largest,_FIVE DOLLARS. 
Agents who compete for the above prizes, must, in 
all cases, remit with their orders, at the rate of Fifty 
Cents for each copy of The Cultivator, and one 
Dollar and Fifty Cents—(the lowest club price, where 
ten or more copies are taken) —for each subscriber to 
the Country Gentleman.

year, will be continued as usual. Its terms are as fol¬ 
lows :

Fifty Cent3 a year will in all cases be added where

TO OUR AGENTS AND FRIENDS. 
Above you have our terms and arrangements for the 
next year, to which we solicit your kind attention, as 
well as your active co-operation in enabl ng us to car¬ 
ry them into successful effect. We have no new 
“ platform ” to offer. Our publications have been too 
long and too extensively known to require it. For 
Twenty Four Years we have watched the farming 
population of this country, not with the eye of an un¬ 
interested passer-by, but of one mingling in their pur¬ 
suits, listening to their thoughts, carefully observing 
their advancement, and laboring both with mind and 
body to work out mental and “ material profit for 
them, individually and as a body. When we began 
our labors in the old Genesee Farmer, our farmers had 
but little ambition to improve—but little desire, though 
their lands were deteriorating at a rapid pace, to seek 
a new and better way ; and the years which have since 
passed, and witnessed so much advancement in other 
respects, would have seen little progress in the farmer, 
had he not been induced to read in and write for his 
paper —to emulate his neighbor's successful culture or
