40 THE GENESEE FARMER. 



THE 



PREMIUMS FOR 1854. 



The Proprietor of the GENESEE FARMER, encouraged by the liberal support long extended to this journal by its 

 friends and patrons, announces that the Fifteenth Volume of the second series, commencing January, 1854, will eon- 

 tain a third more reading matter than any of its predecessors, and be otherwise much improved, without any increase 

 of price. 



To enlarge tlie usefulness by extending the circulation of the GENESEE FARMER, the undersigned will pay the 

 following PREMIUMS on subscriptions to Volume XV., second series : 



FIFTY DOLLARS, 



IN CASH, to the person who shall procure the LARGEST NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS in any County or Dis- 

 trict in the United States or Canadas, at the club prices. 



FORTY DOLLARS, 



IN CASH, to the one who shall procure the SECOND LARGEST LIST, as abore. 



THIRTY DOLLARS, 



IN CASH, to the one procuring the THIRD LARGEST LIST. 



TWENTY DOLLARS, 



IN CASH, to the one procuring the FOURTH LARGEST LIST. 



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 wiH 

 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. i | 



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 To every person ordering FORTY copies, any AGRICULTURAL BOOK valued at ONE DOLLAR, or 

 FOUR EXTRA COPIES OF THE FARMER. 



5 To every person ordering FORTY-EIGHT copies, any ARGRICULTURAL BOOK worth ONE DOLLAR 

 AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, or FIVE EXTRA COPIES OF THE FARjNIER. 



For lart^er numbers, books or papers given in the same proportion. To save cost to our friends, we pre-pay postage 

 on all books sent as premiums. Persons entitled wiU 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 fuU, 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 wiUing to send to as many 

 different offices as there are members of the club. We write the names on each paper, when a number are sent to the 

 same office, if desired ; but when convenient, Postmasters would confer a favor by having the whole number ordered at 

 their own office, sent to their own address. 



j^* As aU subscriptions commence anew with the year, places where the FARMER was never before taken will 

 stand an equal chance in the competition for premiums. 



1^^ 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. 



^^ Specimen numbers, show-bills, &c., sent to all post-paying applicants. All letters must be post-paid or free. 

 Subscription money, if properly enclosed, may be mailed at our risk. 



THE VOLUME FOR 1854 IS 



PRINTED ON GOOD PAPER, WITH NEW TYPE, BOUGHT EXPRESSLY FOR Yl 



A gentleman, graduate of the University of Vienna, who is familiar with the languages of those nations in which the , 

 science of aoriculture is most cultivated, will aid us in translating for the FARMER whatever can instruct or interest 

 its readers. This gentleman is by profession a Civil Engineer and Architect — branches of knowledare intimately con- 

 nected with the prosxess of rural arts and sciences. The general character of our paper is thus pithily stated by the 

 Hon. Marshall P. Wilber, President of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, and of the United States Horticul-' 

 tnrai and Agricultural Societies, in a letter now on our table, which closes as follows : 



" I have always had the Genesee Fakmer. It is, without favor or affection, 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 agricultural journals one 

 may take, to patronize the FARMER can not impoverish him.
