THE CULTIVATOR. 
Nov. 
OUR ARRANGEMENTS EOR 1853. 
Having, since tRe death of Mr. Downing, the lamented Editor of “ The Horticulturist,” 
disposed of that work, the Publisher of “ The Cultivator” has determined to carry into effect a 
design he has for some years had in contemplation, of establishing a Weekly Journal, in connec¬ 
tion with “ The Cultivator,” to be devoted to the cause of Agriculture and the Rural Arts generally. 
In pursuance of this plan, he has issued a sample number of a weekly publication, the regular issue 
of which will be commenced with the new year, to be called the 
A WEEKLY JOURNAL FOR THE FARM, THE GARDEN, AND THE FIRESIDE. 
The scope of The Country (Gentleman will embrace: 
I. The Farm —Including—1. The Principles of Culti¬ 
vation, the Preparation of the Soil and the most approv¬ 
ed methods of Culture of all the Crops grown in this 
country.—2. The Manufacture, Preservation, and Appli¬ 
cation of Manures—8. The Description and Illustrative 
Drawings of all Implements and Machines requisite for 
the Farmer’s use.—4. The Breeding. Rearing and Man¬ 
agement of all the Domestic Animals, with Engravings 
of the different breeds. 
II. The Garden and the Orchard. —1. Descrip¬ 
tions will he given of all the Fruits, of the different va¬ 
rieties, suited to the various sections of the country, to¬ 
gether with the best modes of Propagation and Cultiva¬ 
tion.—2. Selects Lists and Descriptions of Flowers, 
Shrubs and Trees, suitable for large and small places, 
with Directions for their Culture.—3. Special attention 
will be given to the products of the Kitchen Garden, 
a department hitherto too much neglected, as there are 
many plants highly desirable for the table, which have 
not come into general culture. 
III. The Fireside. —This department will be of a 
miscellaneous character, embracing every variety of in¬ 
structive and entertaining subjects, such as Historical, 
Geographical and Biographical Notes, Literature, Natu¬ 
ral Science, Tales, Poetry, &c., consisting of original 
articles and selections of a high order. 
IV. Record of the Times.— -Under this head will be 
given a concise and systematic abstract of the News of 
the Week, embracing briefly every thing of general in¬ 
terest to country residents. 
V. Produce Market. —Great efforts will be made 
to render this department full and complete, and par¬ 
ticularly valuable to the Farmer and Produce Dealer. 
A careful synopsis of the prices of Produce, Wool, Live 
Stock, &c.,at the leading markets, will be given, as well 
as the condition of crops, &c. 
It will be the aim of the publisher to make the paper attractive and elegant in its typography, choice 
and select in its contents—to make it indispensable to the Farmer, and desirable to every one who 
has a rod of ground to cultivate, or a home to beautify—and by devoting its columns to Improve¬ 
ment in Agricultue, to Elevation in Character, and Refinement in Taste, to render 
The Country Gentleman, the standard in its sphere. 
Terms. —It will be printed on good paper, in the best style, and be liberally illustrated by Portraits 
of Domestic Animals, Views of Buildings, Agricultural Implements, &c., &c. Each number will 
contain 12 handsome quarto pages, from which all advertisements will be excluded, none being insert¬ 
ed except on the cover, which will be devoted to the interests of our advertising friends. 
The price of the paper will be $2.00 a year, in advance—if not paid in advance, $2.50.

THE CULTIVATOR FOR 1853. 
THE PRICE REDUCED TO FIFTY CENTS A YEAR, 
As the proprietor will next year issue “ The Culti¬ 
vator” in connection with the weekly Journal announc¬ 
ed above, be will be enabled to reduce its price to Fifty 
Cents a Year, while he will have it in his power to give 
increased interest and value to its pages, from the fact 
that its contents will consist of the choicest articles 
which appear in the weekly paper during the month. 
There will be no change in its character. Its object— 
“ To Improve the Soil and the Mind” —will be the 
same as heretofore. The only alteration will be in the 
price—a change which will procure for it, he has reason 
to believe, a greatly extended circulation, and consequent 
increase of usefulness. Certainly this will be the effect, 
if those who have heretofore so kindly extended to it 
their aid, shall act with their accustomed energy in pro¬ 
curing subscriptions for 1853. 
In calling upon our friends to renew their efforts in be¬ 
half of the next year’s Cultivator, we beg to assure them, 
that, while its price is so greatly reduced, we intend to 
Albany , N. Y. Nov., 1852. 
make it equal in value to any volume that lias preceded 
it; and we solicit for it, not only the goodwill of its 
friends, hut their energetic efforts to greatly extend its 
circulation. The price hereafter, will be as follows: 
Single Copy, Fifty Cents—Eight Copies $8—any lar¬ 
ger number at the same rate. ttZP* All subscriptions 
must commence with the Jan. No., and the payments 
must in all cases accompany the order for the paper. 
Will our Agents, to whom we are already under so 
many obligations, take hold of the work in earnest? 
Man} 7, have already assured us, that with this reduction 
of price, they could more than double their subscriptions 
for next year, and we trust that this will prove true with 
all our Agents. 
Every subscriber to our current volume, as well as 
all Postmasters, and all others interested in the progress 
of Agricultural Improvement, are most respectfully in¬ 
vited to act as agents for The Cultivator. 
LUTHER TUCKER.
