t will be seen, by n n.ilice on tbe last pnge, tlint 

 CJ-pJtrtnerahip w'.iicli woe lormed one year ngo be- 

 icn myself and C. F. Crosma.-) is dissolved, nnd I 

 attain s.ilu propriet.ir of tlie New Genesee Fo^me^ 

 ike this op,)ortunity, therefore, to tender my ac- 

 iwledgments to the ntiinerona friends of the paper 

 the favor which they have shown it, nnJ cspeciul- 

 ;o those kind fiiends whose icrUUigs hove contrib- 

 J S) largely to its popularity and success. After 

 i years of incessant efl'irt, I am exceedingly grali- 



with the prcs'nt c.m l.tioii nnd future prospects of 

 publicition. My hcilth is somewhat impaired, so 

 ; it is necessary for me to s-^ek relief or asaiitiince ; 



believing that the aid of sniic person can be 

 lined, who is b.'tter qu.olified to do it justice, I 

 •e determined to relinquish the clinrge of the paper 

 noo as I can place it in suitable hands. Several 

 ,1 known imlivi.luols have been conferred with on 

 snbject, and it was hoped ibnt the new arrange- 

 nt could be announced in this number, but it is 

 nd necessnry to defer it till the ne.tt. In thr niean- 

 e, a new Power Press will be obtained, and other 

 lilies got in readiness for commencing t':e new 

 nme in superior stylo. 



n order to complete the arrangements, I find it 

 jcssary to go immediately to Boston and New 

 rk, so that I shall he absent from home fiir tv,'o or 

 e.. weeks. M. B. BATEHAM.

Terms ("or the Next Volume. 



Depending on an immense circulation, we slioll not 

 increase the price, rJtl'ough our expenses are greatly 

 increaecd. But we shall have to insist on a more 

 strict construciion of our terms. 



1st. I'oymcnt must in all cases be remitted before 

 the paper will be sent, as we cannot keep so many 

 iiecouiits and colUct the amounts. 



2d. No commission or discount can be allowed to 

 Postmasters and other Agents, uiless the money sent 

 IS at par value here. Uucurrent notes of all solvent 

 hanks will be received in payment where no com- 

 mi.ssion is desired. 



I'Uasc to rememlicr tbat nil subscriptions for this 

 paper must commence with a volume. Many per- 

 sons have requested ns to violate this rule lately, 

 but we always send the back ni mbors of the curt cut 

 volume, or else let them wait and begin with the next. 



endure the frosts of spring, and early crops will be the 

 result. 



Remember the icood jnlc for winter use, and hove 

 plenty. 



And wUenevei the weather is pleasant nnd open, 

 do not fail to plant ornamental and ftuit-trees wherev- 

 er they are needed — and the former at least nre need- 

 ed everywhere. If you cannot plant many, plant a 

 few — keep at it — a little at a time will accomplish n 

 great deal by porEcvcrauce — " noii dcspairo 1" ns tho 

 young latinist said — " many a little makes a 

 mickle." * 



Piosj)ectus for Next VoSame. 



Not having completed ctir contemplated arrango- 

 !Ut9, we have concluded to d«fer sending out n ptos- 

 2lU3, till next month : but we wish to assure our 

 ends that this paper will go ahead next year — no 

 stake. It will bo improved in matter and nppear- 

 ce — price only 50 cents. Sj, reader, when you

 portraitof the beautiful Short Horned Bull, "Arch- 

 er," the property of J. M. Sherwood, E^q., Auburn,

 superb heifers belonging to J. B. Dill, Esq , Auburn, 

 loth of which took premiums at llie Seneca county 

 Fair ; also of several line animals bel.>nging to J. C. 

 Hothawav, Furniincton. Wo intend these portraits 

 shill excel nny pictures that have appeared of lote. But 

 our readers must boar in mind thai they cost us a great 

 deal of money and we shall call upon them to lend us a 

 helping band in a month or so. 



SSl'dl Another Agricultural Paper in Boston ! — We 

 noticed Inst m mth the Farmer's Journal, and now 

 wo have before us several copies of the Boston 

 Ploughman, a lively weekly sheet, edited by Wm. 

 Buckminster, the firmer editor of the Boston Culti- 

 vator, which paper he left on account of some misun- 

 derstanding with the proprietors. Mr. B. makes an 

 interesting an! useful paper, worth more than $2 a 

 year, ihepiice of subsoription. 



Iliiits for the Month. 



The principal work al this season consists in fin- 

 ishing the out-door vt'ork, and preparing for approach- 

 ing winter. 



CMars should be properly secured front frost. 



Potatoes in heaps and elsewhere, sltostd receive 

 their filial and full covering. 



The same care should be given to beds. 



liuta hagiis, \t not harvested, should be speedily — 

 taking special care to ventilate the heaps as recom 

 meuded and described on former occasions. 



Paiujikins, where fanners have them plentifully, ns 

 all good farmers ought to have for milch cows, should 

 he preserved froin frost, or they will soon be good for 

 nothing, instead of being sound for use through win- 

 ter. 



Tools should bo cilleeled from nil quarters, and be 

 carefully housed. Do not forget the plough, harrow, 

 cultivator, cart and wagons, horse rake, spades cpd 

 shovels, hoes nnd picks, wheel-barrows snd hand- 

 carts, and whatever else of n pcrisbnWe riatiire, 



riough all ground, intended fc? spring wopa, now, 

 '' practicable. 



See I'lat drains are in proper order t-T perform their 

 work efTtctiveiy wisocin sa the first thaw msy occur.

Effects of the Drought and the Latter Rain. 



At page 133, we gave some account of the late 

 dr.iugbt ; but its efferls in conjunction with the latter 

 rains, on some fruits, have been very singular. 

 Nearly all the pears on the south side of a large Sum- 

 mer Bon Chretien tree, which were most exposed to 

 the sun, withered and shriveled willi large wrinkles. 

 When the rain came however, tho hallows swelled, 

 and ihe surface became even ; the pear took a new 

 start ; and though not so large as those that lipened 

 eorlicr in the season, thsy still continue green (10 mo. 

 25,) more than a month after the usual period. 



A tree of the Uoussdet dc Rheims is now in full 

 bearing with pears not one half the usual size. These 

 are spread however, regularly over the tree. If they 

 were worth gathering, they might pass for wiiiteit 

 pears, though they usually ripen six weeks e%rlici;. 

 than the present time. 



The Blue Gage shows a still greater difference in 

 the time of ripening. More than two nioj\ths a^o, the 

 fruit began to crack nnd drop from the tree ; and 

 though small on account of the superabundance, it was 

 delicious. After the ruin that immediately succeeded 

 the drought however, the truit "-eased to fall ; anij 

 much of it now, even at this Inte period, remains on 

 the tree. Wo have no recollection of any similar in 

 stances. 



The cfiiectaof droughl nnd hot snnsbinc on differ- 

 ent fruits is not regular — the ripening of some being 

 hastened, of others retarded, while a third class is not 

 materially allecied cither way. The Grare?iste'n ap-. 

 pie has matured eailier than usuni, but the Simvbcr- 

 rij npplc later. 'Jrnpes hnve been haalencd-r-jenciiea 

 retarded. 



A Julienne iicar tree during tiie drought, dxoppetj 

 nil its leaves ; but when that was over, it revived, nn.( 

 one branch is now in fvitl flovci. 



This variety Urao;'C impatient cX drought iLan Bom* 

 other kinds. A ^Pio"' from the stock, had shot up 

 unobjPvveJ, among the brauohs ; but when '-hey 

 ur&pped their leaves, this spnoul was detected by ap- 

 Picaviug in fuH foliage, green and vigorous. t
