RURAL PUBLICATIONS 
THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, published weekly, at $2.00 a year. 
THE CULTIVATOR, published on the first of each month, at 50 cents. 
As witnessing that the purposes of our Publications are successfully carried out, both to our rea¬ 
ders who have already the evidence of their Contents, and to strangers who may on introduction 
like to look over our credentials before they take us to their homes as a Family Friend and 
Counsellor, we subjoin below a few extracts from the Letters of our Correspondents and the Notices 
of the Press. It is however proper to mention that notices or opinions of one will have equal 
application to both, as nothing appears in the Cultivator that has not been already published in the 
Country Gentleman, and we aim to make their mechanical execution equally good. Both are amply 
illustrated and neatly printed on fine and durable paper. 
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS. 
From a gentleman in Massachusetts distinguished for his 
scientific attainments and his practical skill as an agricultur¬ 
ist— 11 1 cannot close without expressing the gratification I 
feel in reading the Country Gentleman i'rom week to week. 
If the hearty approbation of a single reader is of any worth 
to you, you hav» mine most heartily. I assure you.”

the Country Gentleman the best paper for farmers I have yet 
seen.” 
NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 
Wayne County Whig. —“We are acquainted with no pa¬ 
per which better justifies the use of an elegant and appropriate 
title than the Country Gentleman. It is not only a model 
of typographical taste, but it is filled with well written and 
valuable articles, on every topic of interest to the practical 
agricultor, whether of acres or of rods. It is a paper of 
which Mr. Tucker, the veteran and pioneer of agricultural 
publications in New York, may be justly proud. We com¬ 
mend it with the greatest cordiality, to the attention of our 
readers.” 
Journal , Syracuse, N. Y. —“ We however, can not do it 
more justice than by quoting what an old and intelligent far¬ 
mer said of The Country Gentleman , in our sanctum the 
other day: ‘ It contains,’ said he, ‘ every thing that a farmer 
wants to know, told in the best possible manner, and I mean 
to study it next to my Bible.’ ” 
Jacksonian, Pontiac, Mich. —“It has never fallen to our 
lot to meet with a more interesting and readable paper of the 
the kind than The Country Gentleman; and we defy any 
man to rise from a careful perusal of it without feeling him¬ 
self a wiser and a better man. The price is $2 per annum, 
and taking into consideration the great amount of reading 
matter in its columns, and the fact of its issuing weekly, it is 
the cheapest paper devoted to the same subject in the world, 
and we wish it God speed with a hearty good will.” 
The Northwestern Democrat, (St. Anthony, Min.,) “ would 
heartily recommend The Country Gentleman to the enterpri- 
zing farmers who are cultivating, or preparing to cultivate, 
the broad prairies, beautiful openings, nob e forests, or other

first order, its Moral tone is pure, tne style of all its articles is 
chaste, it will prove itself a Gentleman in the most, polished 
circles of society, and is worthy of a place on the best center 
table in the land.”

tiful and every way excellent paper, and we cannot doubt its 
success ”

gag'ed. 
A subscriber writes from the neighborhood of Cincinnati :

number without wishing to continue ins acquaintance with 
such a familiar friend;—many of them worth, in themselves, 
m'tuiy times over, the subscription price for a whole year.”
