places it within the reach Of all and the repu.
tation which it has already obtained for talent
and usefulness, will not suffer by comparison
with any paper of the kind in the Union. Every
successive Number that has been issued, has
shown an increase Of talent and additional cor.
respondents. Besides containing The most
useful and spirited articles selected from n,her
Agricultural publications. the New Genesee
Farmer has received during the past year ori'

PRACTICAL FARMERS. This correspon.
dence will continue to increase, and, with our
able editorial assistance, we can confidently
assure the readers of the paper that it will CON

proportion as il becomes better known and
more generally circulated.
The proprietors are determined to spare no

are the following Each number will contain
items Of English and other news, particularly
relating to the crops and the markets; such as
may be ofservice to farmers in marketing their

A competent and careful clerk is employed to

The aim and object Of the New Genesee
Farmer, is TO please and benefit all of its rea-
ders, and advance the interests of Agriculture

nifty Many Of its present readers have ex-
pressed the high degree Of satisfaction they
have derived from its pages; and we hope all
Of them are so well pleased with it that they
will not only renew their own subscriptions
promptly, but induce their neighbors to sub
scribe ALSO. There are thousands of farmers
to be found, who have never seen the New
Genesee Farmer; and if it was shown them,
und its character explained, they would readily
subscribe. We conceive this TO be DUTY
which the readers Of tie paper to thnr
neigIibnrs, and to their country, as well rs TO
us. Let this duty be done promptly, and our
means of usefulness will be greatly extended,
and the salutary influence Of the paper will
soon be manifest throug hout the Agricultural
community.
The friends of Agricultural Societies should
encourage this paper for, unless
farmers READ on the subject, and get their minds
interested in their profession, they will not act
efficiently for its advancement. The Societies
formed last year in Western New York, and
their fine exhibitions, have already given new
impulse to the cause in this section of country:
and it is confidently expected that much more
will be done the coming season.
