THE NEW GENESEE FAII.MER, 



Vol. 2. 



Letter from Auiiette. 



(as lITHiCT.) 



Miistnj. EDiToiti— ' * • InmpleoBedtoob. 

 eerve ibui yni do not forget your fema'e reudcre, ul- 

 thougli ibcy seem greatly to neg'.eet you. It is a pity 

 tbnt "ijy rricuJ Fan>y, nnd others of the eieterhood, 

 who have the ability, ehoiild be so unwilling to Met 

 their lights ehino.' Such talents tihnuld net lie hid in 

 n napkin, when their jiroper exercise would he pro- 

 ductive of 60 much good. 



I have read the articles of '■ D. C." on the Educa- 

 tion of Fanners' Children, with great satisfaction; 

 and I sincerely wish they could be read by every pa- 

 lent in the land. The subject is one ol great ningni- 

 tude, nnd the writer treats it with a masterly hand. 

 I hope he will not leave it till he has exhibited nil its 

 bo .rings, exposed the numerous evils which esisi, nnd 

 pointed out the remedy. 



I heartily congroiulate you, Messrs. Editors, on the 

 success of your nuble enlerprite. I am fully convin 

 ced that the New Genetcc Farmer is destined to exert 

 a moit powerful influence on the farming comnuinity, 

 tie good eiVecluf wh;ch will be manifested throughout 

 succeeding ages. The arrival of your monthly mes- 

 senger is always looked lor with anxiety, and greeted 

 with a hearty welcome by the inhabitants of 7iwple 

 groee; nnd should its editors chance to roam as far as 

 ou.' sh'idi/ retreat, they may rely upon a most cortlinl 

 reception. I am sorry to liear of Mr. Bateham's ill 

 health — hope it Is nothing serious. 'VVhy does he not 

 rehx himself asvhile, and take a ramble among his 

 numeroui friends in the country, at this delightlul »ca- 

 » >u 1 He could thus better acquaint himself with the 

 wants and feelings of his patrons, and observe whc'h. 

 or they proiit by the instructions they receive. * ' 

 Very rcsp.'ctfully, ANNETTE. 



Maple Grore, Maij, I'i'-ll. 



RKMiKKb — Now, A.in.tte, just "cease your fun- 

 ning :" tue la-t pnrigropU of tho above is loo provo- 

 kiii^ly mntaliiiMg to be patiently endured, nllbc;;;;:. 

 clothed in so much kindness " Roam as lar as your 

 shady retreat," forsooth, when you know full well 

 we have been puzzled in vain these twelvemonths to 

 find out Its location I 



Mr. B. inienJs to spend some time in the country, 

 as soon as circuiiistniicea will permit; audit Annei.c 

 will make known her true tucas luibitiiUonis, he will 

 not fail to visit the skadij gruce. (If bis surmises are 

 c>rrect however, the journey will not be a very lengthy 

 one ! ) — Eiis^ 



All luqtiiiy Irom .^lichigan. 



Messrs. Editors — Can you send me the first vol- 

 n nu of the New Genesee Farmer ? 1 find that bad 1 

 c>mincnced taking your paper a year ago, 1 jhuuhJ 

 have saved by the means more than a hundred tilue.^ 

 in cost. I am c invinced that however email a liiriii 

 e man may eukivnte, even if not more than half nn acre, 

 an agricultural paper may be of immense ndvantiige to 

 him — each number worth the cost of the volume.
