Various periodicals on agricultural arts were published in Turkey towards  the end of the 19 thcentury. They were issued either by state institutions such as  the Ministry of Agriculture, the School of Agriculture or by agricultural societies  or individuals. A number of them were long­lived journals  whereas  the others  ephemeral. The earliest two periodicals  were the Vasıta­i  Servet  (Means  of Wealth) and the Ziraat Gazetesi (Newspaper of Agriculture). The journal under study, the Ziraat ve Sınaat Tercüme­i Fünun Odaları Mecmuası (Journal of the Chamber for the Translation of Agricultural Sciences  and Arts) was issued by  the Ministry of Agriculture. It  aimed to introduce agricultural knowledge and  techniques  to a wider public and assist those involved in agricultural pratices. The journal included articles  on various  kinds  of soils, the cultivation of fruits and cereals, the breeding of horses, the anatomy of plants and the history of commerce.
