The Country Gentleman has successfully comple¬ 
ted the first six months of its history, and is no longer 
an experiment. We are assured that it has made many 
friends, and have received many kind words of encou¬ 
ragement from subscribers in all parts of the Union. As 
the entire numbers for a year make a volume too bulky 
for convenient reference, we have concluded to issue it 
in two volumes a year. The first volume was completed 
with the last week in June, and was accompanied with 
a Title Page and Index. 
The Second Volume commences with the first week 
in July, and we solicit for it the earnest efforts of our 
friends. Subscriptions will be received for six months, 
and those commencing with July will have a perfect 
volume, with title page and index, at the close of the 
year. We ask particular attention to the following•

THE COUNTRYGENTLEMAN. 
A Journal for the Farm, the Garden, and Fireside. 
T HE Country Gentleman has a four-fold purpose —1. 
To promote the interests of the Farmer, by furnishing 
him the most approved method of cultivating all his crops 
and of keeping his farm in a continually improving condition, 
together with the best mode of breeding and rearing all 
the Domestic Animals. The Farm Department is intended 
to he a reliable record of the present state of Agriculture in 
all parts of the world', and to contain suggestions for 
Farm management and economy.—2. To be a complete 
manual for the Gardener and Fruit Grower, and to give 
safe and specific directions for the culture of Garden 
Vegetables, and also information with regard to the 
Flowers, Shrubs, and Ornamental Plants, suited to the 
various sections of ihe country. — 3. To supply the Fireside 
with a variety of instructive and entertaining reading of a 
high order, and yet suited to the capacity of every reader, 
to awaken a desire for knowledge and to cultivate a taste 
for Home Improvement and a love for Home Virtues. — 
4. To present a careful, concise and impartial Record of 
the T^mes, containing all the important events of the day 
and signs of the times, and thus to lay before, country resi¬ 
dents a brief and connected history of all the leading move¬ 
ments in the Social, Educational and Political World. In 
connection with this department, a weekly synopsis of the 
Produce Market, compiled expressly for the paper by a 
gentleman thoroughly versed in the business, will be given, 
which will be invaluable to every Farmer who has produce 
to sell. 
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 everyone who has-a rod of 
ground cultivate, or a home to beautify—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.

of sixteen pages, and forming two annual volumes suitable
