TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The present number of the Rural Magazine will complete a volume; and is intended also to terminate our editorial labours in the present form. It may perhaps be proper, briefly to advert to the circumstances which have led to this determination.

We embarked in the enterprise, without making promises not designed to be performed, or indulging extravagant expectations, as to patronage and emolument. We honestly believed that important services might be rendered to the agricultural interests, which we consider the great and growing interests of our country, by the extensive circulation of such a publication. We had no doubt, that enlightened and public spirited farmers, would have gladly availed themselves of our pages, for the purpose of disseminating useful information, connected with the prosperity and advancement of the FIRST OF ARTS. In this reasonable expectation, we are compelled to acknowledge, that we have been entirely disappointed.

Our farmers of Pennsylvania, who as practical men, if they do not surpass, are at least inferior to none in the United States, have discovered a most extraordinary reluctance in committing to writing the result of their experience. Hence a principal difficulty in supporting with a suitable degree of animation, an agricultural paper in this place.
