"The New Genesee Farmer" has passed
through the first year of its publication with
very flattering success, Notwithstanding the op
posing influences which it has had to encoun
ter; and while the publishers express their
gratitude for the assistance and support they
have thus far received they would now with
renewed confidence, appeal 10 the friends oil
Agriculture for aid in behalf of the Second
Volume. The successful rc-establishment oi
the GENESEE FARMER in its own Nat,re
Soil, and at its economical price, is source OF
much qualification to the friends OF improve
ment in Western New York; and the pub
fishers hatter themselves that their efforts are
not unappreciated, and will not long be unre-
warded.
1t is now fairly proved that the " New Gene
see Farmer" can be sustained, ut price which
places it within the reach of ALL and the repu.
tation which it has already obtained for talent
and usefulness, will not suffer by a comparison
with any paper of the kind in The Union. Every
successive Number that has been issued, has
shown al increase Of talent and additional cor
Respondents. Besides containing the most
useful and spirited articles selected from nther
Agricultural publications, the New Genesce
Farmer has received during the past year orr
ginaL contributions from more than SEVENTY
WRITERS, most of whom are well known
PRACTICAL FARMERS. This hiscorrespon-
dence will continue to increase, and, with our
able editorial assistance, we can confidently
assure the readers of the paper, that it will con-
tinue to increase in interest and usefulness, IN
proportion as it becomes better known and
more generally ycirculated.
The promietors are determined to spare no
reasonable pans or expense in making the
New Genesee Farmer worthy of a liberal sup
port Several important improvements will
be made in the next Volume among which
are the follnwing:-Each number will contain
items of English and other news, particularly
relating to the crops and tire markets; such as
may be ofservice to farmers in marketing their
produce. The paper will be of fine quality.

racies or cause OF complaints.
The aim and object of the New Gencsee
Farmer, is to please and benefit all Of its rea-
ders, and advance the Interests of Agriculture
and Horticulture-the best interests of commu-
nifty. Many of its present readers have ex-
pressed the high degree of satisfaction they
have derived from its pages; and we hope all
ofthem are so well pleased with it that they
will not only renew their own subscriptions
promptly, but induce their neighJors to sud-
scribe ALSO. There are thousands of farmers
to be found, who have never seen the New
Genesee Farmer; and if il was shown them,
and its character explained, they would readily

will be done the coming season.
