1851 



THE GENESEE FARMER. 



Terms of the Farmek.— In consequence of a notice wliicli waa 

 not as carefully worded as it should have been, some have misun- 

 derstood the ' erms of the Farmer for the present year. They are 

 the same as last— Fiftv Cents a year for single copies ; five copies 

 for $2. being farty coUs each ; and ei^ht copies for $3, being three 

 shillings each. For the engraving of the Great Glass House, we 

 charge nothing, making it a present to our subscribers. 



Postage on Books.— To accommodate those who are entitled to 

 premiums, and to whom we shall have to send books by mail, we 

 have secured a number of nearly all our adverti-^ed books, bound 

 with paper covers. The dollar books bound in this way. cost ^ut 

 six shillings, and the six shilling books fifty cents. The postage 

 on these books range from ten to fifteen cents. 



Western Horticultural Review. — This is a new Horticultural 

 Magazine, published at Cincinnati, by John A. Warder, M. D., 

 Editor and Propi'ietor. It is beautifully printed, and deserves to 

 be well supported by the fruit-growers of the great west. 



Several pages of communications, and other articles prepared 

 for this number, are crowded out ; among them some queries 

 that we shall answer next month. 



PREMIUMS FOR 1851! 



The editors of the Genesee Farmer have circulated in premiums, 

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

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

 try. These works, on Agricultural Chemistry, Geology, Botany. 

 Horticulture, Gardening, Rural .firchitecture, Farm Economy, the 

 Management of Sheep, Horses, if-c. The Treatment of Diseased 

 .Animals, if-c. we believe have exerted, and will t^ontinue 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 consequently 

 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 otfer the 

 following liberal premiums to the friends of Rural Improvement 

 who may interest themselves in obtaining us subscribers. 



Premiums to Indl^'idnals. """ 



Ist. TWENTY Dollars, in Agriculturil Books, to the person

County aiitl To-»vn Premiums. 



To -aid as much as possible in establi.'^hing County and Town.

 we hope will aid in the more general establishment of Agricultu- 

 ral Libraries in the Towns and Counties.

 LARS, to the County in which the greatest number of copies of 

 the Genesee Farmer is taken by the 16th of April next. This

 ken, an Agricultural Library worth THIllTV DOLLARS, to be 

 kept as a Town Agricultural Library, under the care of the Town 

 Agricultural Society, if one is established, if not, under the care 

 of some person or persons appointed by the subscribers them- 

 Belyea. 



As the above premiums will probably be taken iu the State of 

 New York, and as we wish to give our friends in other States an 

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

 the Counties and Towns OUT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 

 thus : 



1st. To the County out of the State of New York in which the 

 grea-est number of copie.^ of our paper is taken, an Agricultural 

 Library worth FIFTV DOLLARS. 



2d. To the Town nut of the State of New York in which the 

 greatest nun ber is taken, an Agricultural Library worth THIR- 

 TY DOLLARS. 



Indivikuals will receive the premiums to which they may bo 

 entitled, for their individual benefit, as a compensation for their 

 personal exertions, and the number they send will be credited to 

 the Towns and Counties where the papers are sent, so that the 

 premiums to individuals will not at all interfere with the Town 

 and (ounly premiums. 



BA( K VOLU.MFS of the Farmer will be furnished, if desired, 

 and counted the same as new subscribers.
