Gi:o. Skaboun, / , ? r. > Editors. .1. J. CilLMAN, j It will be our aim to conduct this publication jn a manner acceptable both to the farmer and planter, and to render it valuable to the tillers of the soil throughout the South. The paper owes its origin to the suggestion of the Pen lleton Farmer's 6'ocetety, the oldest institution of its kind in the S'.'Mc, embracing gentlemen well fcnown as successful planters, and distinguished for inventions and improvemt nts thev hnvn mmln ; * ......III IIIIJIU'merits of husbandry. Wo shall ha c important aid from thi* source, npd promise to make our paper a vehicle to disseminate the results of the experiem q of members Of this Association. We havo secured, as .contributors, from every quarter of this and the neighboring States, planters of skill in the "art and mystery" of farming; and congratulate ourselves that thus we may become an exchange medium of the different modes of husbandry practised in I different parts of the country, and shall i be enabled to place before the agiicullu- ! r;d community the opinions and theories I of (he most scientific men of the South. We sli d) acquaint our renders with the results of an extensive train of experiments conducted under our own superintendence, and shall give agricultural chemistry a prominent place in our col- j umns, so as to enable those who wish it to determino qualities of soil, and their I fitness for any particular crop, I We shall endeavor to bring within the scope of our attention every subject of interest to the husbandman?things small as wen as groat?and to make our paper profitable alike to the large planter and the small farmer. We slv.ll make our pages interesting to the mechanic, from the attention given to tho construction of farming utensils. We aspire to place the Farmer and Planter among the most desirable agi i cultural publications of the day; and to this end we pledge all our energies. If the (South would keep pace with the advancement, in agricultural science and flninv l??f full ~r - cm Km.- in prosperity, information upon the subject of husbandry must be more widely diffused.? iSfrrango as it would seem, while there are scores of political panel's in thi> State, there is not a single journal devoted to that industrial pursuit by which man and beast must live, if live at nil. From the-'o considerations, and of the earnest solicitation of the Pendleton Farmer'* Socieiv, under whose auspices we mny bo regarded, wo are induced to tn'\*e upon ourselves tho conduct of the Farmerand Planter; and, from tbe encouragement already received, we are sanguine of rendering if a popul ir paper. Wea.sk for an active co-operation of nil who are favorable to tbe enterprise in p-ocuring subscribers, and fowarding to us their names asonHv as possible. The Farmer and Planter, consisting of s\!een royal quurto pages, will lie pub usiiod monthly, at Pendleton, S.
