.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. C., at
