THE GENliSEE FAEMEK. 



PREMIUMS FOR 1854. 



The Proprietor of the Gejtesee Farmer, encouraged by the liberal support long extended to 

 this journal by its fi-iends and patrons, announces that the Fifteenth Volume of the present 

 series, to commence in January, 1854, ^vill contain a quarter more reading matter than any 

 of its predecessors, and be otherwise much improved, ■without any increase in price. 



To enlarge the usefulness by extending the circulation of the Genesee Farmer, the under- 

 signed will pay the following premiums on subscriptions to his next volume: 



1. FIFTY DOLLAKS, in Cash, to the person who shall procure the largest number of 

 subscribers in any Couhty or District in the United States or Canadas, at the club prices, 

 before the 1st day of April next. 



2. FORTY DOLLARS in Cash to the one who shall procure the second largest list as above. 



3. THIRTY DOLLARS, in Cash, to the one procuring the third largest list. 



4. TWENTY DOiLARS, in Cash, to the one procuring the fourth largest hst. 



5. TEN DOLLARS, in Cash, to the one procuring the fifth largest list. 



In order to reward every one of the friends of the Genesee Farmer for his exertions in 

 its behalf, we will give to those not entitled to either of the above premiums, the following 

 Books, free of postage, or Extra Papers, as may be preferred : 



1. To every person who sends SIXTEEN subscribers, at the club terms of thirty-seven 

 cents each, one extra copy of the Farmer. 



2. To every person sending for TWENTY-FOUR copies, as above, any Agricultural Book 

 valued at fifty cents, or two extra copies of the Farmer. 



3. To every person ordering THIRTY-TWO copies, any Agricultural Book worth seventy- 

 five cents, or three extra copies of the Farmer. 



4. For FORTY, any Agricultural Book valued at $1, or four extra copies of the Farmer. 



5. For FORTY-EIGHT, any Agricultural Book worth $1.25, or five extra copies. 



For larger numbers, books or papers given in the same proportion. To save cost to our friends' 

 Tre pre-pay postage on all books sent as premiums. Persons entitled will please state whether they 

 wish books or extra papers, and make their selection when they send orders, if they desire books; 

 or if they have not obtained as many subscribers as they intend to, we will delay sending until the 

 club is full, if so requested. We do not require that all the papers of a club should be sent to one 

 Post Office. If necessary for the convenience of subscribers, we are willing to send to as many dif- 

 ferent Offices as there are members of the club. We write the names on each paper, when a num- 

 ber are sent to the same Office, if so desired ; but when convenient, Post-Masters would confer a 

 favor by having the whole number ordered at their own Office, sent to their own address. 



As all subscriptions commence anew with the year, places where the Farmer was never before 

 taken will stand an equal chance in the competition for premiums. 



BACK VOLUMES of the Farmer will be furnished, if desired, and counted the same as new 

 •subscribers. We shall keep a correct account of the subscribers sent by each person, and in the 

 May number we shall announce the premiums. 



IJ;^" Specimen numbers, show-bills, Ac, sent to all post-payiug applicants. All letters must be 

 paid or free. Subspription money, if properly enclosed, may be mailed at our risk. 



The volume for 1854 will be printed on good paper, with new type bought expressly for it. 

 A gentleman, graduate of the University of Vienna, who is familiar witli the languages of 

 those nations in which the science of agriculture is most cultivated, will aid us in translating 

 for the Farmer whatever can instruct or interest its readers. This gentleman is by i)rofes- 

 sion a Civil Engineer and Architect — branches of knowledge intimately connected with the 

 progress of rural arts and sciences. The general character of our paper is thus pithily stated 

 by the Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, President of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, and 

 of the United States Horticultural and Agricultural Societies, in a letter now on our table 

 which closes as follows : 



"I have always had the Genesee Farmer. It is, without favor or affectation, the best paper in the 

 country. Marshall P. Wilder." 



As our club price to each subscriber is only thirty-seven cents a year, no matter how many 

 other agricultural journals one may take, to patrouiso the FAitMEE can not impoverish him.
