PROSPECTUS: 



The undersigned, havingf purchased the Subscrip- 

 tion List of this val iable and popular Journal, would 

 announce to its Patrons and the Ajiriciiltural Public 

 — and especially to the enterprising Farmers of Wes- 

 tern New Y'ork— tliat such arrangements nave been 

 made for its future publication as will render it still 

 more deserving the p;itrunage of all friends of Im- 

 provement. 



The favor and patronnge which have been bestow- 

 ed upon it during the past year, anil a belief that its 

 friends and supporters may be greatly augmented, 

 have in luced the publisher to enlargk, and other- 

 wise materially improve the Farmer. Each JVumber 

 of the next Volume, (commencing in January, ]8-)6,) 

 in$tead of sixteen, will contain TWENTY- FOUR 

 LARGE OCTAVO PAGES,— wiY/ be printed on 

 NEW TrPE, and GOOD PAPEE, — and embellished ivith 

 appropriate engravings. The paper will make a 

 handsome volume of about three hundred pages, 

 suitable for binding at the expiration of the year. 



Its Editorial Department will continue under 

 the supervision of Dr. DANIEL LEh), its present 

 talented and popular E litor. Dr. L. will be located 

 on one of the best farms in Monroe County. The 

 narration of his Practice, Experiments and Observa- 

 tions, aided by his well known Scientific Attainments, 

 cannot fail to make the Genesee Farmer of peculiar 

 interest, and value, to every Practical Agriculturist. 

 A large number of able writers will add to the use- 

 fulness and interest of its pages, by contributing the 

 results of their experience and e^rtended observations. 



Several pages of each number will be devoted to 

 Horticulture, and its kindred pursuits. This De- 

 partment will be conducted by Mr. P. Barry, well 

 and favorably known as an experienced Horticultu- 

 rist — and consequently make the paper very valuable 

 to those engaged in the delightful and profitable 

 avocation of cultivating Fruits, Flowers, fee. A 

 careful Review of the Markets, furnishing correct 

 information relative to the prices of staple Agricul- 

 tural Products, at Home and Abroad, will be given 

 in each issue of the Farmer. 



Having had several years experience in the pub- 

 lishing business, (and for some two years success- 

 fully conducted an Agricultural Paper,) the proprie- 

 tor has all confidence to believe that, by devoting 

 his undivided tme and attention to the publication — 

 with Dr. Lee as Editor, and the aid of kind friends 

 and talented contributors, — the Genesee Farmer 

 may be made worthy of its name, and of a patronage 

 greater than it ever received in its palmiest days. — 

 No reasonable expense nor effort will be spared, but 

 every proper exertion used to make it acceptable to 

 the Farming Couununity, by rendering it at once the 

 best and the cheapest paper of its size and kind in 

 the Union. 



The Terms of the Farmer will remain the same 

 as at present: P'iftv Cents a year, in advance — 

 5 copies for $2 ; 8 copies for S3 ; 13 copies for $5.

 nent supporters as will enable us to make the Farmer 

 alike creditable to its Patrons and Conductors ?
