To OUR Agknts and Friends Everywhere. — As there 

 are thousands of farmers who have discontiniied the high 

 ]>riced papers on account of hard times, and who are not 

 uow taking any agricnltural journal, we have conchided 

 to take half-year subscriptions to the Genesee Fantier, and 

 we trust our friends will make an effort to send us in a 

 few thousand additional subscribers. We will send the 

 Fartner from July to December, inclusive, to single sub- 

 scribers, for 25 cents; five copies for $1,00, with a Sural 

 Annual to the getter \ip of the club ; and eight copies for 

 $1.50, with a Rural Annual to the person getting up the 

 ciub. All subscriptions must end with the year. We can 

 supply the back numbers if desired. 



Mr. B. Densmore, of Broekport, N. Y., writes — "On 

 renewing acquaintance with my old friend the: Far 7ne7', I 

 was so well pleased with his appearance, 1 took the liberty 

 to introduce him to a few of my neighbors. It is easy 

 shotting subscribers here for the Fanner, and any one 

 having the time to devote to it might make it a good busi- 

 ness. Enclosed find $6, for thirty-tivo new suUc-ribers for 

 tM Gurreni half volume. ' 



What is said of the Genesee Farmer. 



Oke of the most intelligent farmers in Western New 

 York recently said to us, " I take nearly all the leading 

 agricultural journals, but not one of them, in my estima- 

 tion, comes up to the Genesee Farmer. It is just what 

 farmers need — abounding in practical, common sense 

 articles. I read no paper with so much pleasure." And 

 a brother editor writes us, " I would like to know how 

 you manage to get so many able correspondents, and to 

 cram each number full to overflowing of valuable original 

 articles." We have made great elforts to induce intelli- 

 gent practical farmers to communicate their experience. 

 While we are satisfied that the application of true scien- 

 tific principles will greatly improve our agricultural and 

 horticultural practices, we are fully convinced that no re- 

 liance can be placed on principles deduced from analyses 

 of soils and plants. We must draw our principles from 

 the facts developed by actual experiments or by practical 

 experience. And it is to get such facts that we so repeat- 

 edly urge experienced farmers to write for their " own 

 paper." Our success has far exceeded our most sanguine 

 expectations. We have now a larger list of able and ex- 

 perienced correspondents than any other agricultnral 

 journal in the world. The paper is giving universal sat- 

 isfaction. Its prospects for usefulness never were so 

 bright as they are to-day. Its circulation is rapidly ex- 

 tending, and our cotemporaries are continually saying 

 kind things of it and urging their readers to subscribe. 

 We annex a few recent notices of the press. 



The Farmer \% a large and valuable publication — should 

 be, as it is, well sustained. — Herk. Co. Journal. 



The Genesee Fanner is one of the best papers in the 

 country. — Independent Examiner, Pourjhkeepsie, N. Y. 



The Genesee Farmer is one of the oldest, ablest, and 

 most reliable agricultural journals in the country. No 

 farmer should be without it. — Burlington ( Vt.) Sentinel. 



The Genesee FaJiner has a long table of interesting con- 

 tents, and is handsomely gotten up. Every farmer would 

 profit by reading it. — liotlidayshurg Register. 



The Genesee Farmer is a neat paper, of very convenient 

 form for binding, and edited with an amount of skill and 

 talent which recommends it to every agriculturist. — 

 Woodstock {N. £.) Sentinel. 



This is, we think, the oldest agricultural publication in 

 the State. Joseph Harris, the present editor and propri- 

 etor, has made very great improvements in the Farmer. — 

 Lyons Rejnihlican, July, 1858. 



The old GeneMe Farmer, known and esteemed by the 

 first farmers of the land for many years back, is before 

 us, plain, neat and substantial, such as we like to look 

 upon. — Penliandle Fanner, Wellshurg, Va. 



The high character of the Genesee Farmer, and the ex- 

 tremely low price at which it is furnished to subscribers, 

 make it the most desirable paper within our knowledge in 

 the United States. — Rochester Daily American. 



The Genesee Farmer is one of the oldest and most suc- 

 cessful of our agricultural publications, and our Connecti- 

 cut farmers may be profited by adding it to their regular 

 list of periodicals. — A'ew London {Conn.) Repository. 



A NEAT, tidy dress, with a choice variety of Agricultu- 

 ral and progressive articles for the rural iniiabilauts of all 

 parts of the countiy, make the Fai'mer still, what it has 

 long been, one of tJte very best agricuUtiral joitrnals ecctant. 

 — Western Nucleus. 



The Genesee Fxmner for this month is received. We have 

 repeatedly recommended this valuable monthly t j the 

 farmers of New Brunswick; it may be obtained fo • two 

 shillings and sixpence, and every number is really worth 

 to the agriculturist who wishes to profit by the expe ience 

 and knowledge of others, double the whole year's sub- 

 scription. — lieligiotus Intellujeneei; {JV. B.)l
