THE NEW GENESEE FARMER, 



Vol. T 



Letter from Annette. 



(an extract.) 

 Mkssss. Editors— ' * * I am pleased to ob- 

 serve ilinl you do not forget your female roaciL-is, nl- 

 thougli they seem sready to neglect you. It la a pity 

 that niy I'riend Fasny, and oilii;ia of the eieterhood, 

 who have the ability, should be bo unwilling to ' let 

 their lights shine.' Sueh talents should not lie hiJ m 

 a nnpiihi, when iheir proi^er e.xeieiae would be pro- 

 ductive of 60 much good. 



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

 tion of Fanners' Children, with great satisfaction; 

 on J I sincerely wish they could be read by every pa- 

 lent in the land. The subject is one of great magni 

 tuJe, and the wiiter treats it with a masterly hand. 

 1 hope he will not leave it till be has exhibited all its 

 be ..rings, exoose.l the nu.iierous evils which exist, and 

 pointed out the leiiiedy. 



I heartdy coiigraiulate you, Messrs. Editors, on the 

 success of your noble enterprite. 1 am fully convin 

 ced that the New Genesee Farmer is destined to exert 

 a most powerful intlueuce on the mnning community, 

 the good cfTect of which wiil be manifested throughout 

 succ'cedingages. The arrival of your monthly niee- 

 sengcr is always looked for with an.tieiy, and greeted 

 •with a hearty welcome by the inhabitants of maple 

 grace; and should us editors chimce to roam as far as 

 oar sliiuiij retreat, ihe^may rely upon a must cordial 

 reception. I am sorry to hear of Mr. Batehara'a ill 

 health— hope it is nothing serious. Why does he not 

 relax himself awhile, and take a ramble among his 

 rumerous friends in llie country, at this delightful sea- 

 em 1 He could thus belter acquaint himself with the 

 wants and feelings of his patrons, and observe whelh- 

 cr they proilt by the instructions they receive. " * 

 Very respectfully, ANNETTE. 



Maple Grace, May, 1841. 



Rkmarks — Now, Annette, just "cease your fun- 

 ning :" the last paragraph of the above is too [irovo- 

 kindly lanializiiig to be patiently endured, althcufiii 

 clothed in so much liindncss " Roam as far as your 

 ■hady retreat," forsooth, when you know full well 

 we have been puzzled in vain these twelvemonths to 

 find out ita location ! 



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

 aa soon as circumstances will permit: and if Annei.e 

 will mike known her true lucus Uabilalionis, he will 

 not fail to visit the shady grace. (If his surmises are 

 correct ho A-ever, t'ue journey will not be a very lengthy 



one !) — Ens^ 



Au Inquiry froia Michigan. 

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

 ume of the New Gjnesce Farmer 1 I find that bad I 

 commenced taking your paper a year ago, I -houlo 

 have saved by the means more than a hundred tiineo 

 it! cost, r am convinced that however siiiad a farm 

 a ninn may cultivate, even if not more than half an acre, 

 nn agricultural iinper may be of immense advantage to 

 him — each number worth the cost of the volume. 



Respectfully yours, A. C. H.
