A Chance to Introduce the Genesee Farmer. — As 

 aanouDced last month, we have concluded to take sub- 

 scriptions to the coining half-volume, commencing with 

 the next number. This will afiTord our friends an excellent 

 opportunity of introducing the Farmer into sections 

 where we ha^»e now few subscribers. 



We have no paid agents. It is a labor of love with 

 those who form clubs for the Genesee Farmer; and we 

 respectful!}- invite all our friends who wish to extend the 

 usefuhiess and circulation of the Farmer, to show a copy 

 of the paper to their neighbors, and invite them to give it 

 a trial for the coming half-year. They can not have a 

 cheaper paper. We will send the coming half-volume to 

 any address for 25 cents. 



We will send five copies for one dollar, and present the 

 person getting up the club a copy of our beautiful 25 cent 

 book, the Rural Annual and Horticultural Directory for 

 1860, or any of the previous volumes, sent prepaid, by 

 mail. 



The club need not all be at one post-oflBce. We will 

 Send the papers to as many different post-offices as is de- 

 jured. 



The terms for larger clubs will be found on the last 

 page; also a liberal list of Cash Premiums for the great- 

 est number of subscribers for the coming half-volume. 



We would urge every reader of the Genesee Farmer, who 

 thinks it deserves encouragement, to speak to his friends 

 and see what he can do to increase its circulation. 



To Single Subscribeks. — We have on our mail-books 

 about titfeen hundred post-offices where we have but one 

 subscriber at each office. These gentlemen would greatly 

 oblige us if they would act as agents for the Farmer. Now 

 is a good time to bring the paper to the notice of your 

 friends and neighbors. The next number commence."* ibc 

 half-volume (July to December, inclusive). It will be .tci;' 

 to any address for 25 cents; or for one dollar we will semi 

 five copies, and a copy of the Rural Annual and Horti<->d 

 tural Directory to the person getting up the club! Will 

 not our friends — will not you, reader — see if there are not 

 five persons who would be willing to give the Fai-mer & 

 trial for six months? They surely will not repent doing 

 so. Let us hear from you immediately. The papers will 

 be sent to each subscriber, so that you will have no trou- 

 ble. The subscribers need not all be at one post-office; 

 we send wherever the members of the club desire. 



For further inducements to form clubs see last page of 

 this number. Persons residing in places where we have 

 now but few subscribers, could easily take the largest of 

 our cash premiums. Again we would ask you, kind read- 

 er, to see what you can do for us. 



Clubs — Cli;bs — Clcbs. — The large circulation of the 

 Farmer, and the low price at which it can be afforded in 

 consequence, are mainly owing to the kindness of our 

 friends in forming clubs. If those who like the paper 

 would tell their neighbors of our offer to send five copies 

 of the Farmer for the remainder of this year for one dol- 

 lar, we should feel under renewed obligations to them, 

 and our circulation would be greatly augmented ; and 

 with it our ability to improve the contents and appear- 

 ance of the paper. Form clubs, then — form them now. 

 We feel sure that all true friends of agricultural and hor- 

 ticultural improvement are willing to engage in this work 

 from love to the cause ; but in addition to this our induce- 

 ments in the form of Specific and Cash Premiums are 

 certainly most liberal. We desire to compensate all who 

 work for us. See our offer of Cash Premiums for clubs 

 on the last page of this number.

Cash Prizes— Cash Prizes— Cash Prizes.— On the last 

 page of this number will be found a list of Cash Prizes 

 for the largest clubs of subscribers to the forthcoming 

 half-volume of the Genesee Farmsr. They are the same 

 in number and amount as last year, and will undoubtedly 

 be taken by small clubs. Thus, last year a club of 22 sub- 

 scribers to the half-volume took a prize of $1 ; 23 a prize 

 of $2 ; 24, fa ; 25, $4 ; 27, §5 ; 28, ^(5 ; 29, $7 ; 30, SS ; .32, 

 $9 ; 36, $10, etc. We would ask each one of our friends 

 to interest himself in competing for these premiums, or 

 of inducing some of his neighbors to take hold of this 

 matter. A very little effort would enable any one to get 

 up a club large enough to take one of the highest of these 

 Cash Prizes. 



A Set op the Rural Annuals for One Dollar. — We 

 can furnish a few complete sets of the Rural Annual and 

 HorticuUural Directory for the years 1856-7-8-9 and 'GO. 

 They will be sent prepaid by mail to any address for one 

 dollar. A single number, for any year, will be sent fur 

 25 cents. Our friends who have not complete sets should 

 avail themselves of this ofier at once.
