New Arraiigpment— New Editor. 

 t is with feelirigs of no ordinary degree of satisfac- 

 . that I announce to the public, tliat HENRY 

 LM.*VN, of Massachusetts, has consented to re- 

 .•c to Rochester, and take t!ie editorial charge of this 

 er. As an agricultural writer and or.ator, Mr. Col- 

 >• is so well known to the public, that nothing more 

 d be said at this time on that subject. The readers 

 his paper, and the friends of agriculture in this State 

 ocially, have reason to congratulate thenjselves on 

 : arrangement ; and Western New York may well 

 proud of the honor conferred upon her. Mr. Cni,- 

 :< will advocate the interests of the whole country 

 hout sectional prejudice or partiality; but at the 

 ic time, the district in whii.rh he resides will ofcour.se 

 ive the greatest benefit from his influence, and 

 )uld make the most exertion to 



Give Him a Hearty Welcome! 

 iMr. CoLiiAN has been assured tliat the friends of 

 •iculturc in Western New York and the Great 

 EST would lend him their co-operation and support; 

 1 through the medium of the Genesee Farmer, he 

 lid hold monthly converse with a Vast Ho.st of the 

 ers of the soil, an.l that the profits of the publication 

 ■uld afford Iiija a libera! compensation. J3r Lkt 

 .1 NOT BE DiSiPPOiMTED. Take your horse and 

 I on your neighbors — get them all to subscribe, and 

 !y win thank you for it hereafter. 



The o.'Scei-s and friends of the nuTicrous 



AgriniUuial Societies 



should make especial elTorts to circulate the paper in 

 their dititrscts or counties, Experience proves that 

 THIS IS THE ONLY WAV to havc useful and spirited as- 

 sociations, Farmers who do not read such papers 

 never make good members of agricultural societies. — 

 Their mind.s are not interested in the subject, and they 

 do not rightly appreciate their profession. Let the 

 friends of the cause in the Empire State remember this, 

 and act acconlingly ; and the spirit of improvement 

 wliich began to manifest itself so generally the past 

 season, will soon producp most glorious results. 



M. B. BATEHAM. 



To Correspondents. 



Several eommuiiieations were received too late for 

 insertion in ibis number, and various matters requir- 

 ing editorial attention are unnvoida'dy deferred. 



IC We hope our friends will improve these long 

 evenings and stormy days, on as to send us accounts of 

 their past season's opperations. 



T/i« Si/nicuse Hotel. — We hove received a letter

 tions.

 ent to their friends in Europe, are informed that we 

 send quite a number of copies every month. The

A Card. 



At the desire of Mr. Bateiiam, the subscriber an- 

 nounces to the friends of the New Genesee Farmer his 

 engagement to remove to Rochester, and take, on the 

 firet of January ensuing, the exclusive editorship of 

 this work. It is not without a just diffidence that he 

 undertakes this enterprise; but, with honorable inten- 

 tions, ho is persuaded that in the generosity and public 

 spirit of the New York agricultural community, he shall 

 find a welcome. He leaves the good old Bay State, 

 the land of his nativity and the sepulchre of his fathers, 

 not without many strong emotions ; but he does not 

 feel that in going to Now York he is going from home. 

 He has been long acquainted with New York and her 

 citizens ; and has taken always the deepest interest in 

 her enterprizes and improvements. He has always 

 regarded her agricultural progress and success with 



admiration; and now that in addition to the coininori 

 ties of friendship and )X)litical fraternity the two States 

 are to be linked together by iron bonds in the great 

 interests of internal trade and commerce, he deems his 

 removal much less a separation from home and the 

 friends of his youth. 



In going into New York, he feels that he is going 

 among old acquaintances. He had many years the 

 pleasure of an intimate friendship with the late lamen- 

 ted Buel i and he is happy in standing in the same re- 

 lation of mutual respect and esteem with the present 

 enlightened and indefatigable editor of the Cultivator. 

 Her Aliens and Thomases, and Wadsworth and Gay- 

 lord, and Rotch and Viele, and Ball and Blydcnburgh, 

 and Bcekman and Grove, and Bement and Hall, and 

 Walsh and Van Rensselaer, and Dunn and Corning, 

 seem to him like old and tried friends, united by a bond 

 too sacred to be polluted by any base and selfish inter- 

 est; the bond af a common devotion to the advance- 

 ment of an Improved Husbandry, and the social, ir- 

 tcllec^iial, and moral elevation of the rural and laboring 

 classes. 



H<; goes toNewYorktocontinue the labors to which 

 forty years of his life have been devoted; and to unite 

 his hiV"bl? yfTwts more closely with theirs in this com- 

 mo.n cayse, the cause of human comfort, of good mor- 

 als, of privatp a«d public good. He will be most happy 

 to he recognized as a joint laborer. He goes to New 

 York with no assumption of authority either to teach 

 or to lead. Nothing is farther from his thoughts. Ho 

 goes not to drive the team, but to draw in the team ; 

 and while he has wind enough left, he promises, with- 

 out goatling or whipping, to do his best to keep the 

 draft .steady, and his end of the yoke square. He has 

 no higher earthly ambition than that it may be said of 

 him, when the bow is pulled from his neck, " he has 

 done a good day's work." 



The object of the present note, is merely to make his 

 bow to his New Yoii friends ; and to say that he hopes 

 for thelf better acquaintance ; and that when he calls 

 again, somewhere about New Year, he shall, "if the 

 old folks are willing, leBpectfully ask leave to stay all 

 nio-ht." He has now just dropt in, and won't intrude 

 Respectfully, HENRY COLMAN.

Premium Pitchfork. 



When at the Syracuse Fair, Col. H. S. Randall 

 presented us one of the Premium Pitchforks manu- 

 factured by Lewis Sanford of East Solon, Cortland 

 county, N. Y. For beauty of form and finish, and es- 

 [locially for the quality and tcm]ier of the'steel, we have 

 never seen its equal. It is quite a curiosity ; we wish 

 the maker would send a thoasand this way— they 

 would sell rapidly. 



Hatch's Sowing Machine. 



Mr. Hatch requests us to sny, that in accordance 

 with numerous reqiiesls, he is now engaged in manu- 

 facturing the Machines at this place, and will be able 

 ti supply orders in lime for spring sowing.
