THE NEW GENESEE FARMER, 



Vol 3. 



Agricultural Warehouse «t Troyi N, Y. 



Mb. CoLJiAN— To ,be Inrmcr itie a source of hon- 

 est pride to observe ihnt hie profession ie certninly ad- 

 vancing to ihnt pre-eminence to which it is entitled ; 

 a result produced in a great measure, no doubt, by the 

 circulation of agricultural publications and the em- 

 ployment of able pens, sound heads, and patriotic 

 hearts for its advancement. New and interesting ex- 

 periments are making — valuable facts are published to 

 the world — a stimulus is offered to exertion—and while 

 the bands are hardening with honorable and success- 

 ful toil, the mind ia usefidly employed, and the means 

 for its gratification seem to keep pace with the taste 

 for agricultural improvement. *Twenty years ago, 

 few ever dreamed of seed stores or agricultural repos- 

 itories. Now they are springing tip at every impor- 

 tant point; and a very great accommodation they 

 certninly are to us, if properly conducted. 



Mr. Honry Warren of Troy, extensively and favor- 

 ably known as the maker of Miner's Patent Pump, 

 has recently fitted up and furnished an agriculturcl 

 warehouse on a very respectable scale. I have known 

 him long and intimately. Ho is upright, straight- 

 forward, ingenious, practical, and to bis character lor 

 probity, his persevering industry and good manners, is 

 he alone indebted for his present standing. 



Mr. W. wants the New Genesee Farmer and send 

 the euclofcd to pay for it, (pretty good evidence, is it 

 not, that he is withal a discriminating, sensible man ?) 

 Wil! you do him and me the favor of noticing his es- 

 l.-i'-lishment in your next paper, and of ir^troducing 

 him to the manufacturers of farmers' ware. 

 Your friend and constant reader, 



JOHN McrONALD. 

 Flalcm, Washington Co., J«Be 2^, '1342. 

 We njiicej in our last the new Agriculti^ral Ware 

 House of B. F. Smith & Co., in Syracuse. We are 

 liippy to add the above notice of Mr. Warren's estab- 

 lishment in Troy, N. Y. His situation ia on every 

 account favorable, being a central point of business 

 nn J resort for a larse agricultural oQinmuiliiy. There 

 is room enougli and call enough for this establish- 

 ment where he has placed it, and we cannot but wish 

 him the most ample success.

 workmansliiii of its articles, and its trustworthy niannge-

The communication of our friend B. M. is acciden- 

 tally omitted. The review of Gray's Agriculture ie 

 necessarily postponed. Wc regret both these cases , 

 and several other valuable communications oreneceE. 

 sarily deferred. 



As to Zelia, we presume she is married and gone 

 to housekeeping ; and the long silence of cur friend 

 W. B. gives us no little concern for his health of body 

 or of mind. Our last accounts left him in respect to 

 the last particular in a bad way ; and what effect the 

 suggestion that Zelic is no more ?;elia may have upon 

 him, we are afraid even to conjecture. We cdvise to 

 homoepathic doses of the elixir of hope. "There 

 are as good fish in the eea, &-c. 



Flora's last communication has been pxceedingly 

 well received as its merits deserved. " One good 

 turn deserves another." Therefore write ag ain. 



A stint^y farmer. — Every farmer in this vicinity, 

 save one, has now sold bia vvhoat at 10 shillings the 

 bushel : this man has held on for twelve shillings, or 

 as m;;ch more as he could get — his conscience would 

 not stick at five dollars. No man, when the price has 

 fallen, feels worse than the man who has no wheat to 

 sell, and an inconvenient mortgage on his farm. To 

 comfori him, some of bis neighbors commend his be- 

 nevolence in keeping his wheat to (all on his own 

 hands, rather than break down the millets- S. W.

This sale will afford to breeders an opportunity of 

 adding to their stocks thorough bred animals of high

THE subscriber having established a large feecd G.-irden 

 about one mil; from the cily, on Monroe street, would 

 say to his old customers and other?, that he is prepared to 

 execute orders for seeds at wholesale or retail, on the most 

 reasonable terms. By his long experience in the business in 

 Shaker Seed Garden at New Lebanon, and a determlna- 

 1 to offer no seeds but such as are I'aiscd ua.dcr his imine- 

 diale inspection or imported from the moat respectable eg- 

 tal-lishmenls in Europe, aad their vitality carefully tested, 

 he therefore confidently expects to give tie mo«t ample 

 satisfaction to all who may favor him wilh their patronage.

Howard's Ploughs. 



We have received lor exhibition two (different 

 sizes) of the ploughs of Charles F. Howard of Jling- 

 ham. Mass,, which may be seen at the Seed Store of 

 M. B. Bateham, in the Arcade. These ploughs have 

 long been celebrated in Massachusetts and other parts 

 of the United States. Without disparagement to any 

 other plough, it may be said with truth, that in every 

 respcet these are among the very best ploughs ever 

 put into the ground. They will be fully tested at the 

 Agricultural Show ; and if approved can easily be 

 obtained on application at the above store.
