PREMIUMS FOR 1851! 



The editors of the Genesee t'amjer have circulattd i 

 and in other ways, during the past year, OTcr Five Hundred Dol- 

 lars worth of the best Agricultural Books published in this coun- 

 try. These works, on ^igi-icuUural Chemistry, Geology, Botany, 

 Horticulture. Gardenings Rural Architecture. Farm Economy, the 

 Managevuni of Sheep, Horses^ ^-c, The Treatment of Diseased 

 Animals^ ^-c. we believe have exerted, and will continue to exert a 

 very beneficial influence Their influence is not confined to those 

 who receive them, but is felt by their children, their friends and 

 neighbors. They must increase the knowledge, and consequenlly 

 the power, the influence and the wealth of those for whose espe- 

 cial benefit we labor. The coming year it is not our intention to 

 decrease, but rather to increase the circulation of these works — 

 With a view, therefore, to this object.and to extend the circulation 

 and increase the usefulness of the Genesee Farmer, we offer the 

 following liberal premiums to the friends of Rural improvement 

 who may interest themselves in obtaining us subscribers.

 equal chance in the competition, we offer the same premiums to 

 the Counticsand Towns OUT OK THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
