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

 foUowing PKEMIUMS on subscriptions to Volume XV., second series:

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

 as may be preferred :

 on all books sent as premiums. Persons entitled wiU please state whether they wish books or extra papers, and make 

 their selection wlien tliey send orders, if tliey 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 aU the papers of a clnb 

 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 cIuId. We write the names on each paper, when a number are sent to the 

 same office, if desired ; but wlien 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. 



j2®~ BACK VOLUMES of the FARMER wiU be furnished, if desired, and counted the same as new subseribers. 

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

 ANNOUNCE THE PREMIUMS.

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



THE VOLUilE FOR 1854 IS 



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



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

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

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

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

 Hon. Marshall. P. Wilt>er, President of the Mas.sachuseitts 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 country. 



Marshall P. Wilder." 



As our dull price to each subscriber is only thirty-seven cents a year, no matter how many agricultural journals one 

 may take, to i^atronize the FARMER can not impoverish him.
