Premiums for Subscribers to the Farmer. — Below 

 we give the Prizes awarded for subscribers obtained to the 

 Farmer up to the 15th of April. In addition to the names 

 here given, mnny have procured and forwarded us large lists, 

 who are not only enlilled to our warmest thanks, but, con- 

 sidering the plaee.s in which they reside and the labor be- 

 stowed, are perhaps as fully entitled to premiums as any of 

 the successful competitors. To such we have thus far 

 endeavored to be as libera! as the low price of our pap^r 

 would admit of; and we are gratified to state that while we 

 have not heard one word of complaint from any, many have 

 returned us sincere and substantial thankc, and even have 

 expressed the opinion that we were doing moTe for them 

 than their labors merited. Many of sueh friends will yet 

 hear from us. Before this number reaches our subscribers, 

 we shall have returned from New York and Boston with a 

 complete assortment of Agricultural Books, and shall be able 

 to attend to all orders from our friends. If any entitled to 

 premiums wish any particular books, they will please send 

 ue word immediately, as also the manner in which they wish 

 them sent, as otherwise we shall use our judgement in the 

 selection of books, and also the best mode of conveyance. 

 One object we have in view ia the circulation of good Agri- 

 cultural Books ; but if particularly desired, we will substi- 

 tute Agricultural implements in payment of any of the pre- 

 miums. In our next offer of premiums we shall not only 

 offer more, but endeavor to make them so general that every 

 one may *' reap the reward of his labors. 



1st. To Joseph Watson, Clyde, N. V., an Agricultural 

 Library worth $30, put up in a handsome case, for 3(10 

 subscribers. 



2d, To E. C. Bliss, Westfield, N. Y., an Agricultural 

 Library worth $25, with case, for Slfi^^scribcrs. 



3d. E. Hdwland, Mechanicsville, I\^V,, an Agricultural 

 Library worth $20, with case, for 232 subscribers. 



4th. J. H. Stanley, Le Roy, N. Y., Transactions of N.Y. 

 State Agricultural Society from 1843 to 1850 inclusive, for 

 100 subscribers. 



5th. Orrin Bishop. Dundee, N. Y., $10 in Agricultural 

 Books, for 90 subscribers. 



6th. John Davis. Birmingham, Michigan, $5 in Agricul- 

 tural Books, for 85 subscribers. 



John L. Dolsen, Chatham, C. W.; Moses Eames Rut 

 land, N. Y.; Allen Hale, East Smithfield. Pa.; R. A. W ood 

 cock, Oxford, C. W.; and J. W. Reed, Lockport, N. Y each 

 live bound volumes of Farmer. 



To avoid any dissati.sfaclionon the partof our competitors, 

 we award O. B. Scott, of Woodville, Jefl". Co., N. Y $10 

 in Agricultural Book.s, (a special premium,) for 96 suhscri 

 hers. Mr. Scott has labored hard and faithfully, but ue 

 fear might be considered by some of our competitors a t}a\ 

 eiht^ rather than a local agent. This is the premium to 

 which he would have been entitled, so tliat neither Mr '^ 

 nor any of our friends will have cause to complain. 



Thk American Farmer.— This is the title of a very neat 

 monthly, of 32 pages, printed at Harrisburgh, Pa,, in the 

 German language. The publisher says :■ — 



" Its object is to serve as a medium of mutual instruction, 

 as a register of all uneful improvements in practical farming, 

 and as an advocate of the rights and interests of that large 

 and respectahle class of the ogricultural community who, 

 being more familiar with the German language, are but dis- 

 tantly reached hy the powerful inlluences of the English 

 agricultural press. The usefulness and importance of such a 

 paper must be obvious to nil who are aware of the extent io 

 which the German language is used hy the farming popula- 

 tion of ike middle states especially : and it being the only 

 agricultural journal in the United States now published in the 

 German language, it is confidently expected that the friends 

 of this main stay of nil national prosperity, will kindly exert 

 their influence in widening the circulation of the ' Farmer.' " 



It bids fair to be a valuable nuxilinry in the work of im- 

 provement, and we earnestly hope that it will meet with 

 Kuccess. We may occasionaily give translations. J. M. 

 Beck, publisher. $1 per year, in advance. 



Large Crop of Bkets.— D. Warner, one of our sub- 

 Bcribers at Cornwall, Vt., raised last season 583 bushels of 

 the White Sugar beet on one-half acre. He took the first 

 premium ofiored by the A<idison County Society. 



Agricultural Implements in Rochester. — We think 

 we may safely say there is no place west of Albany where as 

 good an assortment of all the valuable agricultural imple- 

 ments and machines can be found, as at Rochester. Messrs. 

 Rapaue &, Briggs have an extensive establishment on 

 Burtalo street, literally crammed full, containing everything 

 that can be asked for, from an apple-pearer to a threshing 

 machine, James P. Fogg, of the Seed Store No. 12 Front 

 street, as will be seen by his advertisement, has leased the 

 adjoining store, {No. 14,) where he intends to keep a good 

 stock of Farming Tools. Mr. F. has been engaged in the 

 Seed business, in this place, for seven or eight years, and his 

 success is evidence that his manner of doing business is sat- 

 isfactory to his customers. 



We are at all times ready to aid our friends in purchasing 

 and forwarding any implements they may need, or in giving 

 any information in our power. 



Trial of Plows under the direction of the State 

 Agricultural Society. — The Executive Committee have 

 appointed a trial of plows, to take place the second week in 

 June, at Albany, The object is to ascertain the best plows 

 now made for the different kinds of work, a matter of the 

 utmost importance to the farmer. The very efficient Secre- 

 ta.-y has issued a circular in which he says: " The only 

 object of the Executive Committee is, to ascertain, if practi- 

 cable, the best plows for stij'soi/s, for saitdy soils, for falloics 

 on old Iwtd : best sub-soil plow ; best side-hill plow." The 

 competition is open to all, and we hope all will feel inter- 

 ested in making it alike interesting and profitable. For rules 

 regulating the trial, &c., see premium Ust. 



To Destroy Burdock. — We are requested to inform all 

 farmers who are troubled with burdock, that this is the time 

 to destroy them. As they are making their appeamnce above 

 ground, cut just below the crown with a spade, and the work 

 is done. 



Monrob County Agricultural Society. — A meeting 

 of this Society will be held at the office of the Genesee 

 Farmer, on Tuesday, the 7lh day of May next, to prepare a 

 list of premiums, the appointment of Town Committees, and 

 the selection of Judges for the ensuing year. A full attend- 

 ance is requested. Joseph Alley n, Sea' v.
