PREMIUMS FOR 1853. 



^V 



DoRiNG the year 1852 the editors of the Gknesee Farmer circulated over Eight Hundred Dollara 

 ■worth of the best Agricultural Books published in the country. These works, in addition to Forty 

 Thousa7id Covies Montlily of our own Journal, scattered all oTer the land, even to Oregon and Cali- 

 fornia, we believe have exerted, and will continue to exert a very beneficial influence. Their influence 

 is not confined to those who receive them, but is felt by their children, their friends and neighboi's. 

 They must increase the knowledge, and consequently the power, and the wealth of those for whose 

 especial benefit we labor. It is our intention to increase the circulation of these works. We do this 

 for the good they accorajjlLsh, as well as a slight compensation to our friends — the friends of Rural 

 Improvement — particularly Post-Mastei-s throughout the country, who act as voluntary Ageuta, with- 

 out the expectation of pecuniary reward. Below we give our List of Premiums for 1853. 



PREMIUMS TO INDIVIDUALS. 



1st. THIRTY DOLLARS in Agricultural Books, to the pei-son who shall send us the largest 

 number of subscribers, at the club prices, before the 10th day of April next, so that we may an- 

 nounce the successful competitor in. the May number. 



2d. TWENTY D0LLAR8 in Agriculhtral Books, to the person who shall send us the second 

 highe.?t list, as above. 



3d. TEN DOLLARS, in Agricultural Books, to th£ person who sends us the third highest list 



In order to make the circulation of Good Agricultural Books More General axb Beneficial, 

 and to reward every one of the friends of the Genesee Farmer for their exertions in its behalf, we 

 will give to those not entitled to either of the above premiums, the following Books, free of postage, 

 or Extra Papers, as may be preferred : 



1st To every person person who sends SIXTEEN Subscrlbei-s, at our club terms of three shillings 

 EACH, one extra copy of tlie Farmer. 



'2dl To every person sending for TWENTY-FOUR Copies, as above, any Agricultural Book valued 

 at 50 cents, or two extra copies of the Farmer. 



Sd. To every person ordering THIRTY-TWO Copies of the Farmer, any Agricultural Book worth 

 Y5 cents, or three extra copies of the Fai'iner. 



4th. For FORTY, any Agricultural Book valued at $1, or four extra copies of the Farmer. 



5th. For FORTY-EIGHT, any Agricultural Book worth |1,25, or five extra copies of the Farmer. 



J^®^ For larger number.s. Books or papers given in the xame proporiian. To save cost to our friends, we pre-jwy 

 ponttifif! on all Books sent as premiums, and persons entitled will please state whether they wish Books or extra papers, 

 and inake their selection whon they send orders, if thoy desire Books ; or if they have not obtained as many subscriljcrs 

 as they intend tf), we will delay sending until the club is full, if so requested. We do not require that all the papers of 

 a club should bo sent to one Post OfSce. If necessary for the convenience of subscribers, we are willing to send to as 

 many different Offices as there are members of the Club. We write the names on each paper, when a number is scnk 

 to the same Office, if so desired, but when convenient Post-Masters would confer a favor by having the whole number 

 ordered at their own office, sent to their own address. „^^ 



COUNTY PREMIUMS. 



To aid as much as possible in establishing County Agricultural Libraries, we off'er tlie following 

 Premiums, which we hope will aid in the more general establishment of County Libraries : 



1st We will give an AGRICULTURxVL LIBRARY worth FORTY DOLLARS to the County in 

 which the greatest number of copies of the Genesee Farmer is taken by the lOth of April next. This 

 Library to be kept as a County Agricultural Library, under the care of the Agricultural Society. 



2d. To the Countv in which the next greatest number is taken, an Agricultural Library worth 

 TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS, on the same conditions as above. 



As the above two premiums will probably be taken in the Slate of New York, and as we wish to 

 give our friends in other States an equal chance in the competition, we offer the same premiums to 

 COUNTIES OUT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, thus: 



1st To the County out of the State of New York in which the greatest number of copies of our 

 paper is taken, an Agricultural Library worth FORTY DOLLARS. 



2d. To the next County out of N. York, a Library worth TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. 



t^" As all Subscriptions commence anew with the year, places where the Farmer was never before taken will stand 

 an equal chance in the competition for premiums. Individuals will receive the premiums to which they m.iy be entitled 

 for their individual benefit, as a compensation for their personal exertions, and the numbers they send will be credited to 

 the Coimties where the papers are sent, so that the premiums to individuals will not at all interfere with the County pre- 

 miums, or the County with individual.s. 



BACK VOLUMES of the Fanner will be furnished, if desired, and counted the same as new subscribers. "We shall 

 keep a correct account of the subscribers sent by each person and county. In the May number we shall announce the 

 premiums. Libraries wiU be forwarded per order, immediately after the aimouncement, and persons or societies can 

 select their own books, or leave the selection to us. ^W Specimen numbers, show-bilLs, &c., sent to all post-paid appli- 

 cants. All letters most be paid or free. Bubscription money, if properly eacloeed, may be mailed at oar riak.
