THE GENESEE FARMER. 



'1 



Gen3S33 Farmer for 1857. 



TiiK circulation of the Genesee Farmer during the 

 past j-ear 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 hxbor nor expen.-e in our 

 eObrts to make this Pioneer Ajriculturul Journal 

 still more worthy of that extensive patronage it has 

 so long enjoyed. 



The Genesee Farmer is not a repiint. Every line 

 is set up for it, and for it alone. We believe this is 

 true of no other ftfli/ cent Agricultural Paper in the 

 comitry. The Genesee Farmer is beyond all doubt 

 tlie CHEAPEST AGRICULTURAL AND HOR- 

 TICULTURAL JOURNAL IN THE WORLD.— 

 In Clubs of eight, you get inREEuuNDRED and eighty- 

 four LARGE, AXD 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. // there is any farmer icho cannot afford to 

 •pay so small a sum, we ivill, on application, 7nake 

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

 certain he cannot afford to he without it. 



The large circulation of the Genesee Farmer is 

 mainly due to the voluntary efforts of the friends of 

 agricultural improvement in all parts of the country. 

 We cannot reward them. The consciousness of their 

 disinterested labors must be their recompense. Wish- 

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

 ing
