GENESEE FARMER.

Prospects of the Farmer.— TJianks. 



Thanks to its numerous tirm and active friends, the 

 Genesek Farmer is making line progress on its eighth 

 voyage. The demand, for the present volume has been 

 feuch that we were obhged to publish a second edition 

 of the first number previous to tlie l.jth of January. We 

 kave now, however, several thousand of that number on 

 hand — and shall print a very large edition of the present 

 (February) number, in order to furnish the entire volume 

 to nil who may desire to become readers and supporters 

 of the Farmer. Its Editors, and numerous Correspond- 

 ents, (able and practical men,) are capable of making this 

 paper worth ten times its sub-scripiion price to almost 

 .every farmer in the country — and especially to those of 

 Western New York. And, while we desire no jiatronage, 

 we frankly ask the friends of industry, progress, and im- 

 provement, to lend such portion of their inliuence toward 

 extending its circulation as they tliink its merits may de- 

 serve. Without liieir approval and aid, the Farmer would 

 be restricted in circulation and influence — with them, 

 we trust it will soon be second to none of its contemporaries 

 in either respect. 



Post-Masters. Farmers. Editors, and all others to whom j 

 we are indebted for timely and substantial favors, will 

 please accept our grateful thanks — the only acknowledg- 

 jnent we can now make in return for their liberality. — Pub.

 excellent reputation that tliis establishment enjoys, and ren-

Winter Route for New York and Boston, 



VIA TROV AND GREENBUSH.

 Boston and Bridgeport, via Troy. 



The Cars leave Rochester at 1 P. M. and 9-4

 baggage. 



The trip is as quick, and the fair as low by Troy as by 

 Albany, and passengers are set down and taken up by the 

 cars directly in front of, and but a few steps from the Pub- 

 lic Houses in Troy, thus avoiding the expense, exposure to 

 cold and wet, and danger of crossing the river at Albany, at 

 so 'early an hour as 6 oclock in the morning. 



The Housatonic Road has been relaid with the heavy H 

 Rail, and the new and fast steamer Mountaineer placed on 

 the route to run between Bridgeport and New York, for the 

 passengers and the mails exclusively, which render the trip 

 fiafc, pleasant, and expeditious.
