| The GENEsEE FARMER, which for nine years past
has been published in Rochester, to the great benefit
| of the whole Western Country, is now discontinued
and the abors OF Its respected publisher transfer
red to the CultiratOr Albany RegreitiHg the loss
OF their avorite Journal many of the friends
OF agriculture in this section have advised the estab
shng OF :" New Genesee Farmer in this place. and
have pledged their influence and talents TO its support
The city of Rochester is the Capital of the great and
justly celebrated "Genesee Country;" it is surrounded
| by an intelligent agricultural community, and vast
territory Of unrvaled richness and fertility Ii has
equalled facilities for communication with the Western
States and Upper Canada and is, in every respect
most appropriate location for Agricultural Periodic
al. The very extensive circulation of the late Monthly
Genesee Farmer, affords good evidence that such pa
per demanded in this section and that will be sus-
tanned by the liberal and enlightened community for
whose benefit it is intended. Influenced by these con-
slderatlons, we have concluded 10 enlist in the cause
and issue a New Genesee Farmer" which we shall
aim to make only thr cheapest but the useful
and the most extensively circulated agrculturalp in
Inc country With the advantages possess, and the
talented assistance engaged, confident this
be done, provided friends and the friends of inn
provement, come forward to aid with that praise
worthy and successful zeal which many have hereto
| fore manifested
The grand aim and object of the New Genesee Far
me will be to promote the great and important arts of
Agriculture and Horticulture and the interests of all
those engaged in them No reasonable pains expense
will be spared in making the paper useful and interest
ing 1t Will readily be SEEM that in order to afford
large paper at small price, it is necessary that
the subscription list be very large. The small sum
which 1t COSTS certainly places it within the reach of
every farmer, and is confidently believed, that, with
little effort on the part of public spirited individuals
nearly every farmer in the land may be induced to sub
scribe tor 1t, and impulse be thus given to the
march OF agricultural improvement. One of the pub
fishers and co-edltor is weknown the proprietor of
the Rochester Seed Store His extensive correspond
ence and business connections IN this country and IN Eu
rope together with his intimate knowledge of the sub
jects, well qualify him for the present undertaking.
Inc other publisher Is an experienced Master Printer
| and publisher, and the appearance of our sheet will
soon prove that he is we'll qualified TO supernend the
| mechanical department of the business. The other
gentlemen, whose name we place at the head as editor
is SO well known to the public writer on Agricu
ureand Horticulture, that nothing need be said respect
ing him. His able and frequent communications IN the
Cd Genesee Farmer together with those of his father
David Thomas, whose aid we also expect,) has contr-
buted largely to the high reputation which that paper
| has sustained. Ia addition to the above, we have
surances of aid from many, if not most of those who
| have already distinguished themselves writers on
these subjects, and from several other gentlemen of sci
ence and talent who have not heretofore contributed
| this cause.
