 friends and patrons, announces that the Fifteenth Volume of the second series, commencing January, ls54, will con- 

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

 of price.

 following PREMIUMS on subscrijjtions to Volume XV., second series;

In order to reward every one of the friends of the GENESEE FARMER for his exertions in its behalf, we wiB 

 give to those not entitled to either of the above premiums, the following BOOKS, free of postage, or EXTRA PAPERS, 

 as may be preferred :

For larger numbers, books or papers given in the same proportion. To save cost to our friends, we pre-pay post.a^-e 

 on aU 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 \vill delay sending until the club is full, if so requested. We do not require that all the papers of a rlnh 

 should be sent to one" post-office. If necessary for the convenience of subscribers, we are willing 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 tlie 

 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. 



^^ 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. 



j^r- BACK VOLUJIES of the FARMER will be furnished, if desired, and counted the same as new subseribers. 

 ■^e shall keep a correct account of the subscribers sent by each person, and in the MAY NUMBER WE SHALL 

 ANNOUNCE THE PREMIUMS. 



j^* Specimen numbers, show-biUs, &c., sent to all post-paying applicants. AU letters must be post-paid or frev. 

 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 IT 



A gentleman, graduate of the University of Vienna, who is familiar with the lans-uages 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 profession a Civil Engineer and Architect — branches of knowledsje intimately con- 

 nected with the pro2Tess of rural arts and sciences. Tlie general character of our paper is thus pithily stated by the 

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

 tural 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 affection, the best paper in the eountry. 



Marshall P. Wilder." 



As OUT 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.
