THE GENESEE FARMER. 



89 



Genesee Farmer for 1857. 



The circulation of the Genesee Farmer during the 

 past year has been nearly double what it was in 

 1855. Encouraged by this success, we have deter- 

 mined to make great improvements in the present vol- 

 ume, and to spare neither labor nor expense in our 

 efforts to make this Pioneer Agricultural Journal 

 still more worthy of that extensive patronage it has 

 so long enjoyed. 



The Genesee Farmer is not a reprint Every line 

 is set up for it, and for it alone, ^ye believe this is 

 true of no other fifty cent Agricultural Paper in the 

 country. The Genesee Farmer is beyond all doubt 

 the CHEAPEST AGPJCULTURAL AND HOR- 

 TICULTURAL JOURNAL IX THE WORLD.— 

 In Clubs of eight, you get three hundred and eighty- 



FOCR LARGE, AND CLOSELY PRINTED PAGES, illustrated 



with numerous and costly engravings, for the small 

 sum of thirty-seven and a half cents. Surely no far- 

 mer, for the future, will be without an agricultural pa- 

 per. If there is any farmer icho cannot afford to 

 pay so small a sum, we will, on application, make 

 him a present of the paper for a year, for we are 

 certain he cannot afford to be without it. 



The large circulation of the Genesee Farv.jcr is 

 mainly due to the voluntary efforts of the friends of 

 agricultural improvement in all parts of the country. 

 W* cannot reward them. The consci jusness of their 

 disinterested labors must be their recompense. Wish- 

 ing to do what we can, however we offer the follow- 

 ing
