In order that our friends may see that we are determined to do

 early our List of Cash Prizes to be awarded to those who send us 

 the largest clubs of subscribers on or before the fifteenth day of 

 January, 1861. Last year, our highest Prize was $2-5; this year, 

 encouraged by our increased circulation, we head the list with a 

 Prize of Fifty Dollars in Cash ! and in order that our friends may 

 have time to do all that they can to extend our circulat on, and to 

 give those residing in places where we now have but lew sub- 

 scribers an equal chance with those where the Farmer is better 

 known, we have concluded to send the Genesee Farmer for the 

 three remaining months of this year and the entire volume for 

 1861, for Fifty Cents ! This will give all our friends who intend 

 to compete for these Premiums an opiJortuuity to commence at 

 once. ^^^^

 us the largest number of subscribers for the next volume of the
