Many years since, the undersigned established t e old American Farmer. Without waiting for n single subscriber it was thrown before the pub. lie, in the confidence that the greatest interest 1 of the country needed and would give support to ' i journal honestly devoted to its benefit. That I confidence was fu'ly justified bv the result. The i paper soon obtained a wide circulation, and became the vehicle for disseminating the discover- ( ies of scientific research, and the results of prac- ' ticalcxper.er.ee. Men of the most c ireful ob. scrvalion and tho highest order of talents, mado ' it the medium for communicating their knowlege on-?roty branch of agriculture and rural economy. No periodical that ever was published, could shew among its contributors a moro honorable array of names illustrious for every thing that can confer enviable distinction. Practical Agriculture, therefore too much regarded as an unintcllcctual if not vulgar employment, soon took itsjuel rank at the head of honorable pui8uits. A thirst for dessertations on ifs various branches was quickly engendered, and success in any one of them was esteemed a high honor. Even the gallant Chauncoy was made Prccidcnt of an Agricultural Society, and was proud to come in for the premium fur the second best sow! To gratify the appetite for agricultural read- r ing, whiaJi increased by what it fed upon, other more abl? periodicals sprung Up an*! apace in various parts of the country, until at present they aro to bo found pouring light and knowledge, and leading to practical improve mcnts, in every stato in tbo Union, .nany oi them are conducted with an industry that never tires, and with consummate ability, and at a price to excite wonder how they can live. Under these circumstances .he reader will naturally in. quire, what motive could lead me to resume the conduct of the American Farmer, lately in such competent and able hands ? The answer is a plain one, and tho only difficulty in giving it is to obviate the appearance of egotism and obtru. ding private canccrns and views on the puolic ear. On the first of June I shall be relieved by the pleasuro of the President, of an important public trust, confided to me it may be, longer than n ay have comported with my deserts, but surrendered thank God, without any charge against my i onour or punctuality. The want of employnnnt is of all things the most irksome, not to say dangerous ; it being said that an idle man's head is the Devil's work-shop. Something must be done, therefore, as well from necessity as ci.oicc, and whether under adverse or prosperous fortune, no employment of the mind is so congenial to mine, as when it is engaged in enterprise ar.d studies of general utility, embracing the interests and promoting the happiness of a!) clfr^cs? and especially as those enterprises and pursuits may be connected with Agriculture, and thesciences and internal irnprovo nents which may be made accessary to the dignity an profit of that pre-eminent calling: and hence my renewed connection with the American Farmor, and 5?pirit of tho Agricultural Journals of tho day. Mr. Roberts, who is ono of the best men and best writers of his day, has been, more for amuse, mentthan profit, for someyeirs past conducting this paper. He has become engaged in pursuits which will ho equally useful, and it may 6e hoped, for his own good sake, more profitable. The 1 -- ? - rt t_ / _ j! I printer ana proprietor,? nr. o inas ?nnuxng me laying on my oars, has applied to me to tako the work in hand, and as it will bring with it Mr. Roberts' good will, I have consented to do it, pour passer lo tcmp9, and for the love of the thing! It is with better grace, therefore, that I can solicit the patronage of my friends and the public, for it will bo bestowed not on me, but on ?"thier, man ano a cause, which is the cause a **" ot the country. , . I have recommended the proprietor to enlarge the paper, and to givo it somewhat more trie ap pearanco and character of a miscellaneous, and news.paper, without abridging the agricultural matter. Under my advico and management it will bo dedicated most especially to the disseminata r>finfrrnr,?tion Agriculture generally? k and cspeeiallj oa the branches?Silk, the cultur of the B'.-et, with a view t the manufacture of sugar, and of the Vine for the sake of the .grape and wine. I shall also take measures that it contain the best information at home and from abroad, as to the prices of cotton and tobacco, and statistics of the trade in these commodities. All improvements in Agricultural Implements, and in tho breed and rearing of Domestic Ani. mals, will have their full sharo of attention.? When these subjects have been taken care of, the state and progress of our Internal Improve, mcnts will be noticed, and essays on the general principles of Political Economy will bo admitted ?but party politics, in which all distinguishing and fundamental principles have been too much lcf5t sight of, will be carefully eschewed. One thing of real utility may bo promised to every patron cf the American Fanner?a real bona fide, not a stereotype, price current of tho principal commodities which farmers and plan, ters have to buy and sell, tintt'gh this is adcsidcr. atum already supplied, on a scale much more ex. tensive than we can or should think it nccr^ry to do it, by our worthy fiend Lyford, whose indefatigable industry in that lino ought to be supported by all farmers as well as merchants.
