TO OUR CORRESPONDE}?

W* are once more under the pleasing necessity of pub-

lickly expressing our thanks to our eminently respec~- table Correspondent, who has fayoured us with a drawing of, and communications respecting the new species of turnip, with which this number of our Magazine is embellished. But itis not merely for this embellishment that we are grateful, but on account of the benefit which we trust the public will derive from hence; for we are emboldened by the kindness of our Correspondents to think, and to say, that this number does not stand in need of any extraordinary embellishment to recommend it to the attention of the agricultural world. And indeed, should occasion call for it, we should not hesi- tate or fear to place this, or any of our Jate numbers, in com-~ petition with any publication of a similar nature that has hitherto appeared. And whether our Magazine shall or not continue to retain this degree of excellence, depends solely upon our Correspondents, who have it in their power to make it as entertaining, as instructive, and as worthy of them-

selves as they please. A single page, transmitted monthly,.

from only one half of the number of our present kind con- tributors, will constantly form a valuable quantum of materials.

The contents of Mr. Cocks’s letter are very encouraging to Farmers to persevere in the cultivation of that most palat-

able of all vegetables, the Swedish turnip. We hope we’

fhall soon again have occasion to thank Mr. Cocks for hav- ing imparted to us fresh information from. the abundant source afforded by the superior,system of husbandry practised in Sussex.

The course of crops recommended by that well known and able writer Mr. Middleton, demands the attention of every, both old fashioned and new fashioned, farmer.

Mr. R. Weston will of course pay due attention to the animadversions of Philalethes.

We feel no uneasiness on being told that we have two Cor- respondents who use the same signature, of“ a Norfolk Farmer,” we only say, that we should be very happy to be subjected to the confusion that might arise from haying twenty such, with the same signature.
