THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. 
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 be 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 info-mation with regard to the 
Flowers, Shrubs, and Ornamental Plants, suited to the 
various seclions of the 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 presen 4 a careful, concise and impartial Record of 
the Times, 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 desirableto 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
