THG GENESEE FARMER FOR 1853. 



The present number completes the volume 

 for 1852. To those who have read the 

 Farmer this year, we need not say tha-t 

 we have spared neither labor nor ex- 

 pense to make our paper interesting and 

 valuable. But for our large and almost 

 unparalleled circulation, every volume we 

 print would cost us more than the price 

 charged to subscribers. To our friends 

 and agents everywhere, we tender our 

 acknowledgements for past favors, and hope 

 to increase our indebtedness another year. 

 Let every subscriber spend an hour in 

 calling th-e attention of Iws friends and 

 neighbors to the claims of the Genesee 

 Farmer, and we shall more than double 

 our circulation the coming year. Let all 

 engage in this work, and form clubs early. 

 Our agents are already sending in their or- 

 ders, and from every quarter thus irir heard 

 from, large additions are made to former 

 clubs.

VOLUME XIV, FOR 1853.

HARRIS, Editors. 



P. BARRY, Conductor of Horticultural Department 



IN issuing a Prospectus for the FocRTEE?rrn Volume of 

 the Genesee Fanner, the Publisher flatters himself that it 

 IS too widely known, too extensively circulated, and too 

 well read, to render it necessary to state the design of the 

 *ork:. Those who read the Farmer are the best judges of 

 its value, and those unacquainted with it are invited to ex- 

 amine it« pages. 



The Fourteenth Volume will commence on the Ist of 

 January, and will be issued regularly on the 1st of each 

 month during the year. It will be printed on new type and 

 superior paper, each number containing THIRTY-TWO 

 PAGES, and making at the end of the year a Volume of 

 884 pages, with title page, index, &c., suitable for binding. 

 The work is appropriately illustrated with beautiful and 

 really valuable engravings of Farm Buildings, Implements, 

 Domestic Animals, Choice Fruits, Flowers, Shruljs, &c. — 

 The Volume for 18.^2, when bound, will ni.ike the most val- 

 uable Volume on Agriculture yet published in this country. 

 The Volume for 1S53 we design still farther to improve, and 

 hope to be sustained in our efforts by tlie farmers of the 

 country. 



We number among our Contributors, hundreds of the best 



Practical Fanners in the country, and our readers have 

 through our pages, the benefit of their wisdom and experi- 

 ence. No thinking man can read any number we issue, 

 without receiving some useful hint in regard to the man- 

 agement of crops, stock, or the orchard, of more value than 

 the price of the volume. The Genesee Farmer is by far 

 the Cheapest Agricultural .lournal publislied in America. — 

 Our FORTY THOUSAND SUBSC^KIBERS place us 

 ahead of all other Agricultural Journals, and enable us to 

 furnish a paper for the trifling sum of Thre-e or Four Shil- 

 lings, equal to any, both in value and beauty. Its po.sition 

 as the Cheapest, and at least one of the Best Af/ricultttral 

 Journals in the country, is fully established, and we confl- 

 dently ask for it that support which it merits from tlie Far- 

 mers, Gardeners, and Fruit Culturists of the United States. 

 We invite all who feel the importance of sustaining this 

 work, and extending its usefulness, not only to subscribe 

 themselves, but to introduce it to the patronage of their 

 friends.

Frencli Zinc Faint. 



THIS new and beautiful article of Paint is now offered to 

 the trade and public, ground in prepsired linseed oil, for the 

 first time in this counfry. It has been used successfully in 

 France for the last five years, where it has superseded wiiite 

 Lead as a paint 



The French Zinc when properly prepared and used, 

 makes the most brilliant and durable white in use, and is 

 entirely free from all poisonous qualities. 



The French Zinc is not more expensive than white lead, 

 and is prepared in such a manner that it requires no far- 

 ther preparation for use, than to thin it with Turpentine or 

 raw Oil to the consistency of white lead paints 



The French Zinc is very much whiter, and has a better 

 body, than the New Jersey Zinc. 



The French Zinc is offered dry, and prepared as above, 

 in quantities to suit purchasers, at the Manufacturer's De- 

 pot, No. 17 Buffalo St., Rochester, N. Y.
