This volume, it is hoped, will be found of equal interest. With those which have preceded it. It has been the endeavor of the undersigned to make it useful to the farmers. This is the great object that has been kept in view in the preparation of the volumes of Transactions which have been submitted to the far mers of the State. There is a considerable portion of each volume occupied with the proceedings of the Societies, as required by statute, and although to the general reader these may not be as interesting or useful as the more extended articles, yet, they have a local value in connexion with the Societies, which render them useful, and many of the proceedings are of a character that will interest and profit every careful reader.
