Special Announcement. — Last year we ofiFered to receive 

 subscriptions for the half-volume of the Genesee Farmer, 

 commencing with the July number. Hundreds of our 

 friends, in all parts of the country, kindly undertook to 

 get subscriptions, and the result was that we received an 

 addition of nearly five tliovsand new subscribers to the 

 half-yearly volume. We renew the same offer this year, 

 and in addition will present every subscriber to the half- 

 volume, whose subscription is sent in before the first of 

 June, the next number of the paper free. Will not every 

 one of our readers tell their neighbors of this liberal 

 offer? 



Terms for the Half-Volume. — Single subscribers, 25 

 cents ; five copies for $1.00 ; eigbt copies for $1.50. 



Specific Premiums. — To every one sending us a dollar, 

 for five subscribers to the half-volume, we will send a copy 

 of our beautiful 25 cent book, the Rural Annual and 

 Horticultural Directory for 1860, pre-paid by mail ! We 

 will also send a copy of the Rural Annual to every one 

 sending us $1.50 for eight subscribers. To every one 

 sending $3 for sixteen subscribers, we will forward a copy 

 of the Rural Annual and an extra copy of the Farmer for 

 a year, or two extra copies for the half-volume. Those 

 sending more subscribers will generally take some of the 

 Cash Prizes (see last page of this number). If not, spe- 

 cific premiums will be paid in the same ratio as the above. 



Cash Prizes. — We offer a number of liberal Cash Prizes 

 for the greatest number of subscribers to the half-volume 

 (see last page of this number). There are twelve prizes, 

 similar in amount to those offered last year, and a very 

 little effort will enable any of our readers to secure one 

 of them. Last year Prizes were taken by clubs of sub- 

 scribers to the half-volume, of 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, SO.. 

 32, 36, 41 and 42. 



Will not our friends compete for these Prizes ? Recol 

 lect that all who send in subscriptions before tBe last of 

 this month, will receive the June number free ! 



Splendid Wood Cuts fob Sale.— We will sell stereo 

 types of any of the wood cuts that have been used in th< 

 Genesee Farmer. A book containing impressions of th< 

 cuts, names, prices, etc., will be sent to those wishing tt 

 purchase. Our collection of agricultural and horticultu 

 ral engravings is unsurpassed — containing over eighteei 

 hundred cuts, that have cost at least seven thousand dol 

 lars. They have never before been offered for sale. Thej 

 will be sold at from one-third to one-fpurth the origina» 

 cost.

 this beautiful work for his trouble. 



Tell touk Neighbor — All who subscribe for the nexl 

 half-volume of the Genesee Farmer (July to December, in- 

 clusive,) before the end of this month, will receive the 

 June number free. 



Pleuro-pneumonia. — This terrible disease has appeared 

 among cattle in some parts of Massachusetts, and hasi 

 caused great alarm. It is generally fatal, though we have 

 known instances in England where a good part of a large 

 herd have been attacked and recovered. The disease has 

 been known in this country in .years past, but did not 

 spread. The Legislature of Massachusetts have author- 

 ized commissioners to visit the infected districts, and to 

 have all cattle that are affected killed and buried — the 

 State to pay the owners the value of the cattle. It is 

 hoped that by these means the disease will be confined to 

 its present limits.
