A correspondent of one the New York papers writes, rc- 

 speclitig this section of Illinois, as follows ; 



Beardstown, Cass Co., 111., Jan. 10, 1C43. 



The Riches of the West—Gothainites on the H^/'7;g-.— It is 

 now six weeks'since I left the city of Gotham, during which 

 time 1 have seen considerable of the Western country, and 

 I must say the beautiful prairies of Illinois far excel what I 

 had anticipated, and this country may truly be called the 

 garden of the world. Th(-re is nothing to prevent farmers 

 in this country from getting rich, as the land is tlic most fer- 

 tile in the world, and it \\ill produce everything grown in 

 the vegetable kingdom. 



A New England man would hardly believe me if I would 

 tell him that some farmers here produce ten thousand bush- 

 els of corn and half as many bushels of wheat in a year, to 

 say notiiing of cattle and hogs, of which some raise as many 

 as five hundred head. One farmer told me he had raised, 

 the last year, H,C)00 bushels of corn, and it was all produced 

 by the labor of two men only. 



Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they 

 are seldom covered with snow." 



Mo.st of the above lands may be cultivated 100 years or 

 more without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. 

 The titles are indisputable and the lands will be sold at low 

 prices and in quantities to suit purcliasers. Letters (post 

 paid) addressed to I). B. AYitES, Esq., of .lacksonville, 

 111., or to the subscriber, will receive prompt ailention. As 

 many persons out of the Stale have an idea that the taxes 

 are very burdensome in Illinois, we state that they range 

 from SL-OO to .$2,00 per annum on 80 acres of land.

NEW SEED AND DIPLEMENT WABEHOUSE. 



GENESEE SEED STORE AND AGRI- 

 CULTURAL WAREHOUSE. 

 No. 10, Front Street, Rochester, N. Y. 

 The Subscribers respectftiUy announce to 



the public, that they have opened the above establishment 

 for the sale of GARDEN, FIELD, and FLOWER SEEDS, 

 of all sortH—Agricitllnral and Horticultural Implements, Ma- 

 chines, 4'C., lis-c. 



They intend to have always on hand a complete assort- 

 ment of all the articles wanted in this line by the Farmer 

 and Gardener. JN'o pains w ill be spared to procure articles 

 of the best quality. No seeds will be oifered but such as 

 are undoubtedly fresh and genuine — raised in the best es- 

 tablishments of this and foreign countries. The implements 

 will embrace all the newest and most approved kinds, from 

 the best manufacturers in the country. 



Fruit and Ornament, l Trees, Shrubs, Plants, S^'c, will be 

 furnished to order from one of the best establishments in the 

 country — the well known Mount Hope Nurseries. 



The principal conductor of this establishment has had 

 many years practical experience in the business in Roches- 

 ter ; and being well known to a large portion of the agri- 

 culturalists in Western New York, the undersigned hope, 

 by devoting constant and careful attention to the manage- 

 ment of their business, to merit and receive a liberal share 

 of patronage. Farmers and others interested, are request- 

 ed to call at the Genesee Seeo Store. 



The proprietors of this establishment gratefully acknowl- 

 edge the very liberal patronage v\hich they have received 

 from the public the past season, and most respectfully solicit 

 a coniinuation of the same. 



From the very liberal share of patronage we have re- 

 ceived during the past season, (which with us is the first 

 and one of experiment.) leads us to believe that our exer- 

 tions to get up an establishment of this kind, and to offer 

 no Seeds or Implements of any kind but such as can be de- 

 pended upon, duly appreciated by the generous public. 



We would say to the Farmers and others in this section 

 and at a distance, that we are now making a large addition 

 to our stock of Seeds and Implements, any and all of which 

 we will sell at the lowest pricrs.
