The Genesee Farmer foe I860.— On the last page of* 

 this number will be found a, List of Cash Premiums for 

 the greatest number of subscribers for the Genesee Farmer 

 for 18»50, seut in by the l;'th of January. 



In order to induce those of our friends residing at post 

 offices where we have now few subscribers, to compete for 

 these premiums, we have determined to send the Genesee 

 Fixrmtr for the two remaining numbers of this year (No- 

 vember and December) and the entire volume of 1860, to 

 all who subscribe before the first of December, at the 

 usual rates for the year, (50 cents), or to those who form 

 clubs of eight or more, at fcn-ty cents each ! 



Will not all our agents and friends take hold of this 

 matter at once ? All such subscribers will be counted in 

 determining the award of Premiums. Now is the time to 

 commence getting names, before other agents commence 

 canvassing. Judging from the past, we are sure the 

 agents and friends of the Genesee Farmer will not be be- 

 hind hand. Recollect, the volume for 1860, and the two 

 remaining numbers of this year for 40 cents each! 



" Ox LT FiPTT Gents a Yeah. — Let every one who knows 

 the fkct, tell his neighbor that he can now get, in your 

 agricultural paper, for fifty cents, what at the lowest cal- 

 culation is worth twenty dollars a year were we deprived 

 of the paper. iSound it abroad/ Only fifty cents a 

 year!" 



So wrote a correspondent of the Genesee Farmer in 1845. 

 The advice was good then. It is good now. "Sound it 

 abroad ! Only fifty cents a year !" Let every one "tell 

 his neighbor." 



The Genesee Farmer was then so cheap as to excite sur- 

 prise. How much more so now ! It then contained only 

 16 pages; now it contains 32 pages — and more than as 

 much again matter. "Sound it abroad/ Only fifty 

 CE.XTS A year !" Let every man " tell his neighbor" — that 

 by subscribing now he can get the two remaining numbers 

 of this year and the volume for 1860, /or only fifty cents. 



Peemidms for the Half Volume. — Our friends will 

 bear in mind that the time for competing for the Premi- 

 ums for the greatest number of subscribers for the current 

 half volume of the Genesee Fanner, closes on the fifteenth 

 ot this month. Send us all the names you can, so as to 

 reach us on or before that day. The names of the suc- 

 cessful competitors will be announced in the November 

 number, and the money immediately paid. Our friends 

 have done nobly. They have sent in nearly six thousand 

 new subscribers for the half volume ! We return them 

 our sincere thanks. Words can not express our gratitude. 

 We will endeavor to manifest it by renewed eflbrts to 

 make the Farmer worthy of the support of such true and 

 disinterested friends of the cause of agricultural and hor- 

 ticultural improvement.

 who send us fifty cents before the 1st of December, we
