Apkil Premiums. — Our friends will not forget that we 

 have offered over $200 in cash premiums to be awarded 

 for the greatest number of subscribers sent in by the 15th 

 of April (see February number, page 71). Very few of 

 Our agents are competing for these premiums. They will 

 undoubtedly be awarded to very small clubs. There is 

 yot abundance of time to get subscribers. As we stereo- 

 type the Farmer and Rv/ral AnrxMol, we can supply all the 

 back numbers. The Farmer is not a newspaper, and the 

 back numbers are as interesting and useful now as when 

 first issued. Those of our readers who have paid 50 cents 

 for the Farmer, can have four more copies, sent to any 

 address, for ^1.50, or seten copies for $2.50, together with 

 a Rural Annual to the person getting up the club. Addi- 

 tions can be made to clubs at any time, for 37i cents each. 



A IIiXT TO ADVEnTiSEBS. — A correspondent writes : " I 

 have a suggestion to make to those enterprising men who 

 advertise agricultural implements, Ac, in your paper. 

 Tdl vi vhat your price is. I am inclined to buy the 

 'Young America Corn Sheller," if I do not have to 'shell 

 out' too much to buy it. How much »" [We believe the 

 price is $10. We hope our advertisers will act on the 

 above suggestion.] 



Advektisbmknts. — We have more advertisements in ti 

 Farmer this month than we desire. Still, they are all < 

 interest to our readers. We exclude patent medicines ar 

 all other deceptive advertisements. It is our design • 

 make ever>/ department of the paper interesting and us 

 ful. On this account, we must again request our adve 

 tiaing friends to make their advertisements as short i 

 possible. Our terms, perhaps, are too low; but if oi 

 friends will be brief we shall not increase our terms 

 present, though they are now the same as when we hi 

 but one-third our present circulation. 



The Ruu.vl Annual. — Every reader of the Genee 

 Farmer should have the Rural Anrrnal. We will send 

 prepaid to any address on the receipt of 25 cents in pos 

 age stamps. Any of our agents who have got up a ch 

 of eight subscribers can have eight copies of the R'j.r 

 Annual for Jl.OO, sent prepaid by mail to any addres 

 Everyone getting up a club of eight subscribers for ti 

 Far-mer at our lowest club rates of 37 J cents each, is en 

 tied to the Rural Annual. If any have not received k, ^ 

 will send it immediately when notified of the fact. 



IS 



Circulation of the Genesee Farmer. — Thanks to tl 

 disinterested efforts of our numerous friends who ha 

 acted as agents for the Genesee Farmer, our circulatii 

 this year far exeecds our most sanguine expectations. V 

 have already worked off tMrty thousand copies of t 

 February number, and shall have to print another cditii 

 in a short time. This unprecedented success will stim 

 late us to still greater efforts to improve the Farmer. V 

 shall spare no labor or expense to make it worthy of tl 

 most liberal patronage. 



Careless Posting. — The records of the Dead Lett 

 Office show that there must be a great amount of ign 

 ranee or carelessness in regard to posting letters, and 

 is probable that the latter preponderates. A careful bu; 

 ness man pays the utmost attention to preparing lette 

 for the mail, and observes the rule of always looking ov 

 the address of each one before depositing in the post offi( 

 During the year which terminated on the 30th of Septei 

 her last, there were found 12,102 letters which contain 

 money, amounting in the aggregate to $61,289. 



The Genesee Farmer fosters a Love for Agricultur 

 — A farmer observed, the other day, that his boys h: 

 rather disliked the business of farming ; but when he toi 

 a number of the Genesee Farmer home to examine, t' 

 boys read it with interest, and observed that they wcu 

 do better if he would subscribe for it. He did so ; and '. 

 says the boys now take more interest in farming, and a 

 highly delighted in reading the Fanner. I think mat 

 other farmers might do likewise, with the same advantag

Mistakes. — We are always willing to correct mistake 

 If any of our subscribers do not receive their papers, ^ 

 hope they will inform us at once, when we will mc 

 cheerfully send them. 



We have received many excellent communications whii 

 we are obliged to leave out this month. We trust o 

 friends will continue to favor us with their experience. 



There were 312,000 tons of Peruvian guano importi 

 into Great Britain last year. This is a larger amount tbt 

 in any previous year.
