The Next Volume of the Genesee Fakiiek. — En- 

 couraged by the extraordinary increase in the circulation 

 of the Farvier during the present year, we have deter- 

 mined to make great improvements in our next volume, 

 and also to offer a greatly extended list of Premiums. 

 "We have procured an entire new dress of type, and have 

 made arrangements for a supply of much better paper, 

 and shall spare no expense in procuring excellent engra- 

 vings. So far as we have been able to ascertain, the 

 Genesee Farmer this year has given very general satisfac- 

 tion. Thanks to our correspondents, it is undoubtedly not 

 only the cheapest but the best agricultural and horticul- 

 tural paper in the country. We are satisfied that by a 

 little timely effort, our friends will enable us to double 

 onr circulation the coming year. " Hard" as are the 

 times, the Genesee Fai-mer is so marvelously cheap that 

 few persons could refuse to subscribe, were they requested 

 to do so by one of their intelligent and influential neigh- 

 bors. 



In the January number we shall publish a number of 

 Prize Essays on a variety of subjects. This number alone 

 ■will be worth the price of the volume. 



List year, for the first time, we offered " January Pre- 

 miums." Thousands of our readers neglect to send in 

 their subscriptions till the winter is nearly past, and thus 

 they are without the paper during the most leisure season 

 of the year. To counteract this as much as possible, we 

 not only continue to offer these January Premiums this 

 year, but have increased them in number and amount 

 om-half. Those who take a January Premium can also 

 compete for an April Premium with the same list of sub- 

 scribers. There are so many Premiums offered, that no 

 one who tries can fail to take one, and may obtain two. 



Hitherto but few of our friends — who act as agents 

 simply from a desire to promote agricultural and horticul- 

 t-ural improvement in their respective nei.sliborhoods — 

 have competed for the premiums. Hence we have thought 

 of discontinuing them ; but wishing to reward our friends 

 as far as possible for their disinterested labors, we have 

 concluded not only to continue them another year, but to 

 offer so many that some of our agents will obtain premi- 

 ums whether they try for them or not. A good Agricul- 

 tural Library, bovrever. is worth a little effort, and we 

 trust that our friends will endeavor to increasetheir lists, 

 go that this increase of Premiums will not entail upon us 

 any loss. Now is the time to commence making up your 

 listi, before other agents enter the field. 



If any of our readers have fiienda who are not ac- 

 quainted with the Genesee Farmer, we will glndly send 

 ttiem, pre-paid, specimen copies of the paper, if they -VTil] 

 furnish us tlieir namoa. 



What is Said of the Genesee Parmee — Our con- 

 temporaries are continually saying good words for the 

 Genesee Farmer. Commenda'ion is pleasant to all, buls it 

 is not modest to repeat compliments. On this accoimt 

 we seldom re-publish any of the kind things our contem-i' 

 poraries say of us. If, however, as our friends say, " th'e 

 Genesee Farmer is the best agricultural paper ill the 

 country," the credit must be ascribed to its numerous and 

 able correspondents. There may be many other papers 

 that give more and better editorial articles, but we are 

 certain that no agricultural and horticultural journal in 

 the world has such a list of intelligent, practical corres- 

 pondents. We have, during the present year, published, 

 each month, on an average, at least fifty articles v, ritten 

 by some of the most experienced and best practical farm- 

 ers and fruit growers in the United States and Canada. 

 As our friend " B ," of N agara County, observes, the 

 Genesee Farmer is a " Monthly Farmer's Club," at which 

 we have delegates from all sections of our extended coun- 

 try, who quietly and concisely communicate the results of 

 their experience. Modes of cultivation may sometimes be 

 recommended, which, however good they may be in one 

 section, cannot be profitably adopted in others ; yet no ii>- 

 telligent reader can fail to get hints which may prove val- 

 uable in his own practice. One such hint may be wortTi 

 the price of ten years' subscription. Ascribing the credit 

 to our correspondents, therefore, we may be excused fop 

 giving a few extract? from the numerous complimentary 

 notices of our appreciating contemporaries. 



" For most of the extracts in this department we are 

 indebted to the Genesee Furmer, a very spirited and valu- 

 al)le ag) K'ultural work, published at Koohester N. Y.. for 

 fifty cents a vear. Farmers should subscribe for it. Theiie 

 is not a sii;,i;jo ijumber but what contains something which 

 will repay a thousand fold the cost of subscription." 



[Delaware State Register. 



" We heartily wish that every farmer in this country 

 was a subscriber to the Geneste Farmer. It would repaj 

 them four fold."' — [Virginia Star. 



" The Genesee Farmer is a monthly publication thai 

 should be taken by every farmer in the country. We are 

 indebted to it for many articles which huve made up our 

 agricultural column." — [Essex Co. (N. Y.) Kepublican. 



" The contents of any one number is worth a years' 

 subscription to any practical farmer." — [Jacksonian, Piin- 

 tiac, Mich. 



" Tlie Genesee Farmer ii one of the beat agricultuiil 

 papers for the AVe«t, and ought to be well sustained, and 

 will lie, no doubt." — [Kane Co. (III.) Journal. 



" This old and well established agricultural paper is one 

 of the very best and cheapest in existence." — [Welland 

 (C. W.) Herald. 



" The Genesee Farmer is one of the oldest as well as 

 best and cheajicst papers for farmers in the country." 



[Chicago ©eniocrat. 



" The Genesee Farmer is published monthly at Rochss- 

 ter, N. y.. by JosEPit Haukis. It costs only fifty cents a 

 year, and is well worth five times the amount, for it ad- 

 mits nothing but what is of practical benefit to its readers. 

 Its unpretending merit desei ves encouragement and sup- 

 port, whicli it receives wherever it is known." — [Rucks 

 Co. (Pa.) Intelligencer. 



•' We have been a regular reader of the Gtnesee Farmn 

 for a laimber of yeais. It contains more good, sound 

 reading matter — piartical and beneficial to the farmer — 

 than any other monthly of the same size. The Gen^tee 

 Farmer need not come in competition with any other pa- 

 per. 'It lias a field ©t" \U own.' It costs — jwlhing, and 

 every firnic-r may hare it. Three do*en eggs or tw» 

 thickens will pay a year's subscription." — [Putnam Re- 

 publican Banner.
