THE CULTIVATOR 
Dec. 
$\t Cumttrjr dftttlmatt. 
A Journal for tlie Farm, the Garden, and Fireside. 
The publisher of u The Cultivator,” having, since the death of 
Mr. Downing, disposed of “ The Horticulturist,” has determined to 
carry into effect a project he has had for some years in contemplation, 
of establishing a AVeely Journal, in connection with “ The Culti¬ 
vator,” to be devoted to the cause of Agriculture and the Rural Arts 
generally. In pursuance of this plan, he has issued a specimen 
number. The regular publication of the Country Gentleman will 
be commenced on the first Thursday of January, 1853, and its scope 
will embrace: 
I. The Farm— Including— 1. The Principles of Cultivation, the 
Preparation of the Soil, and the most approved melliods of Cul¬ 
ture, of all the Crops grown in this country.—2. The Manufac¬ 
ture, Preservation, and Application of Manures.—3. The Descrip¬ 
tion 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 differ¬ 
ent breeds. 
II. The Garden and the Orchard —1. Descriptions will be 
given of all the Fruits, of the different varieties, suited to the vari¬ 
ous sections of the country, together with the best modes of Propaga¬ 
tion and Cultivation —2. Select Lists and Descriptions of Flowers, 
Shrubs and Trees, suitable for large and small places, with direc¬ 
tions for their Culture.—3 Special attention will be given to the pro¬ 
ducts 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 instructive and entertaining 
subjects, such as Historical, Geographical, and Biographical Notes, 
Literature, Natural Science, Tales, Poetry, Ac., consisting of origi¬ 
nal articles and selections of a high order. 
IV. Record of the Times.— Under this head will be given a con¬ 
cise and systematic abstract of the News of the Week, embracing 
briefly every thing of general interest to country residents. 
V. Produce Market. —Great efforts will be made to render this 
department full and complete, and particularly valuable to the Farmer 
and Produce Dealer. A careful synopsis of the prices of Produce, 
Wool, Live Stock, Ac., at the leading markets, will be given, as 
well as the condition of the crops in the different sections of the coun¬ 
try, Ac. 
It will be the aim of the publisher to make the paper attractive and 
elegant in its typography and illustrations, 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 beau¬ 
tify—and by devoting its columns to Improvement in Agriculture, 
Elevation in Character, and Refinement in Taste, to render 
the Country Gentleman the standard in its sphere. 
TERMS,—The Country Gentleman will be printed in quarto form, 
each number consisting of sixteen pages, and forming an annual voi- 
ume suitable for binding, of 832 pages, at Two Dollars per year 
when paid in advance, or s$2.50 if not paid in advance.

THE CULTIVATOR: 
A MONTHLY JOURNAL OF 
Agriculture, Horticulture, and Domestic Economy. 
THE PRRICE REDUCED TO FIFTY CENTS A YEAR. 
As the proprietor will next year issue “ The Cultivator ” in con¬ 
nection with the weekly Journal announced above, he will be ena¬ 
bled 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 Yvhich 
appear in the weekly paper during the month. There will be no 
change m 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 here¬ 
tofore so kindly extended to it their aid, shall act with their accus¬ 
tomed energy in procuring subscriptions for 1853. 
In calling upon our friends to renew their efforts in behalf of the 
next year’s Cultivator, we beg to assure them, that, while it§ price is 
so greatly reduced, we intend to make it equal in value to'any vol¬ 
ume that has preceded it; and we solicit for it, not only the good will 
of its friends, but their energetic efforts to greatly extend its circula¬ 
tion. The price hereafter will be as follows : 
Single copies, Fifty Cents—Eight copies S3—any larger number 
at the same rate. 
Will our Agents, to whom we are already under so many obliga¬ 
tions, take hold of the work in earnest? Many 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. LUTHER TUCKER.

Superphosphate of Lime. 
T HE only chemically pure Superphosphate of Lime, is manufac¬ 
tured by 1 be subscriber, who has proofs of its being the best, from 
the fact of its having been tried by the farmer, by the side of the im¬ 
proved, as so termed, and likewise by analysis. The subscriber’s 
long experience in Europe, in the peculiar manufacture, leads him to 
flatter himself, that he stands unequaled as a maker, and would sug¬ 
gest to the agriculturist the propriety of trying the effect of the No. 1 
Superphosphate of Lime, before giving credence to the puffing 
of the writer of a journal who apparently takes much pains to inti¬ 
midate the farmer from purchasing any but the improved, as others 
in the market for sale arc spurious. Had not his advertisement been 
so glaringly misstated, and so completely groundless, and certainly 
calculated, to a certain extent, to prejudice materially the minds of 
those not conversant with the facts, and the true merits of the case, 
it would not have been deemed important to have replied, having up 
to the present lime strictly avoided advertising, preferring to give it 
time to establish its own reputation. As a manure, I am induced now 
to say something, in fact, more so from the express wishes of some of 
the gentlemen who have tried the effects, and feel highly pleased with 
the results; and my statements herein contained can be corroborated. 
The principal object in now giving publicity, is to inform the farmers 
in general, that this is the best article offered as a fertilizer, the effect 
of which can only be proved by a trial. Branded as follows, in bags 
of 150 lbs. each :—“ C. B. DE BURG, No. 1 Superphosphate of Lime. 
Keep dry.” Dec. 1.
