THE \FAV (JKNESJ'.E FARMER. 



t;oi!M'i>>n«--al^ ol' tUe Public Piess. 



We tender our sincere acknowledgements to Ed. 

 itors generally, for the favorable notice they have 

 taken of our humble efforts. We feel in duty 

 bound to give our readers two or three specimens 

 of the numerous flattering commendations we 

 have received since the announcement of our new 

 arrangements. /• 



From the Kcntuchj Farmer. V 



The New Gknesee Parmer. — We are very much 

 graiifiL'd to h"arn that the sciviees of Rev. Henry Col- 

 man are eecured ns the future editor of thie \>\\ics pub- 

 liahed inonthlv at Rochei^tcr, N. Y. Mr. C. is well 

 and fav.irably kmiwn to thengriciiliurnl public, having 

 been Agiicultura! Ci)mmis8ioner "f Mnasachiisetta and 

 editor of the N. E. Farmsr. Mr. C. will prove a 

 powerfai acquisition to the corps of agricultural editors 

 and in welcoming him again into the fraternity, wc 

 congrntuliue the paper and the public to which hia use- 

 ful luhore will be devoted. He will iiiRtruct bis by 

 practical knowledtje, entertain by his fresh, lively and 

 elegant style, and stimulate by the enthusiasm, he him- 

 self fcela. We would go many a mile out of our way 

 *o spend a night with Henry Colman ; and we are 

 Bure that many new friends will feel towards him just 

 as we do, who will learn something of him in the 

 New Genesee Farmer. 



From the American Farmer. 

 Henry Coi.man. — We observe by the New Genesee 

 Farmer, that this genileman is about ti assume its con 

 duct as exclusive editor, and we seize the occasion to 

 c.ingratulate the pa'rons of that excellent publication, 

 upon the important aceusition they will obtain in the 

 i".a\, talents, industry and experience of that emineii; 

 agriculturist. In bis '• CartV' of annunciation, Mr. 

 Colman says, that " he feels that he is going amon^' 

 'old acquaintances' — and why should be not? H'>w 

 could such a miin, whosn intellectual and physicial la- 

 bors havo been identified with the cause of agriculture 

 for fuiy years, locate himselfany where in our wide- 

 sp ead country and not find himself among old ac- 

 quaintances !" The thing is impossible. For oiir- 

 self we can say, although we have never seen him, 

 were it to he otir lot ti^ieet him in the de.-.erts of Ara 

 bia, we should hail him as an *'old acquaintance,"' 

 with whom fir years we had enjoyed the conmiunion 

 of mind, and for wkom we have long entertained a 

 sincere regard. We welcome him to his new post, 

 with the kindliest feels of friendship, and shall indulge 

 in the hope that his translation from the cradle of li- 

 berty to the young giant of West' rn New- York, may 

 prove to him aliite the source of pleasure and profit. 



From the Sulcm (Mass.) Gazette. 



The Rev. Henry Colman, late Agricultural-Corn 

 missioners of this State, is about to become editor o( 

 the " New Genesee Former," published at Rochester, 

 N. Y. Mr. C'jlman is one of the best writers of the 

 dyn, and his numerous admirers, throughout the Com- 

 monwealth, will hear of his removal to another State 

 with sincere regret. His labors have contributed more 

 t'lan those of any other person, to give to agriculture 

 the' improving impluse which has advanced it so rapid- 

 ly within a few years. 



From the Maumee (O. ) Times 



New Ge\f.S5E Farmer. — We had been looking 

 over sevsral late No's, of this paper borrowed of our 

 namesake iVfr. Smilh, and had alrt ody got our opinion 

 of its merits — np to that degiee of comparison called 

 the superlative — when we were favored by the pub- 

 lishers with a prospectus for lb.-? Volume of the coming 

 year — embracing a specimen sheet. In that we noiice 

 with great pleasure, that Mr. Henry Colman, one of 

 the moat distinguished of the Agricultural writers of 

 the Nation, ha3 been engaged as its future editor. 

 When we consider toe great and well known merit of 

 Mr. Colman as a writor, and, iho favorable prosition 

 of the paper, for western circuiiition, we cannot doisbi 

 that it will be ere long bo the m )st widely circulated 

 Agricultural oeriodical of this region. Its articlei have 

 heretofore been much better adopted to the Western 



States, than those of the We hope such will 



continue to be their character under its new F.ditor. 

 His good sense and extensive exporiencewill, we trust, 

 enable him to steer clear of the error of hislate lament- 

 ed friend. Judge Buel^ — that of devoting too great a 

 portion of his papei to the subject ot improving poor 

 eoils. To people of this western country, such arti- 

 cles can be of little pracical benefit. Our soila are 

 uivariahly rich and wc hope thmugh the influence of 

 such papers as the New Geneesc Farmer, they will 

 always be kept so. 



From ll.r. UlMer Raihilirun. 



New Genesee Farmer. — We have heretofore on 

 evcinl occuodMio boiiie ll^l iiii-i.y lo the ii-gu chain. ■ 

 ier of this paper, of the talents ol its conductors, and 

 the valuable and varied inrormaiion imparted through 

 iis coluiiiiia, Wc would again earnestly recoin i end 

 the puliiicMtion to tlieottenlionof the|!nblic. It should 

 be in the hmids of every lariiier. Adilitionnl interest 

 will lie given to the work the ensuing year, is the 

 editorial department will be sustained by Hkni.y Col- 

 man, late Agricultural Commisjioner of the Stote of 

 iMassachusette, and liJ|own as an eminent agricultural 

 writer. 



" Phase Exchange," — We almost daily receive 

 several newspapers with these two words written 

 on the margin. We never refuse to exchange, but 

 as ordinary country newspapers are of no use to 

 us, wc offer to send the Farmer without an ex- 

 change to all papers that publish a notice of its 

 character and Terms. Editors of. Agricultural, 

 Scientific and Literary periodicals, and city news- 

 papers, who generously give us an exchange, will 

 please accept our thanks. If any of them desire 

 an extra copy of the Farmer, they will please in- 

 form us.
