PREMIUM RULES. 



Please Read these Rules Carefully, and thus avoid 



misunderstandings. 



We believe most of our readers appreciate 

 Gleanings enough to continue with us without the 

 extra inducement of premiums. These are offered 

 with a view of increasing- our number of readers by 

 the addition of new subscribers. The premiums 

 are intended for those who, by personal effort, se- 

 cure the subscribers. These persons are almost al- 

 ways those who already read Gleanings, and know 

 what it is. We are glad, therefore, to pay you well 

 for your trouble. No premiHinn will be given to news- 

 dealerti or fiuhftcription aijoitx. 1. Both renewa.ls and 

 new names count toward securing' iiremiums, but 

 we require that at least half the names shall 

 BE new subscribers. Note also exceptions under 

 different premiums. 



3. No name will be counted for premiums unless 

 it is accompanied by $1.00; and in case of renewals, 

 all arrearages, if any, must be paid up, and $1.00 

 sent for a year in advance— the advance siibscrip- 

 tion only, counting for premium. 



3. You can close your list of names at any time, 

 and call for the premiums due; or you can add to 

 the list of names. But — 



4. Send along the names as fast as gathered, so 

 that the subscribers may begin to receive the jour- 

 nal at once. No subscription, under any circum- 

 stances, must be received for less than $1.00 per 

 annum. 



l^"Mark every name or list of names, "For 

 Premiums," if so intended, and we will credit 

 them to the sender on our premium-record. 



6. Be sure to ixive tbe Tiatne, Postof- 

 i'ice. County, and State, of each sub- 

 scril>er and of 3'Oiirse7f. 



6. All sample Copies necessary to canvassers 

 will be sent postpaid free. 



7. When you order your premiums, be sure to 

 state HOW TO send, and if by mail do not forget the 

 postage. . 



8. To Foreign Readers. To all foreign coun- 

 tries, 48 cts. must accompany subscription for post- 

 age. 



7th.=-How to Send Money. — 1. Tell how much 

 you inclose and of what it consists. 'Z. Money may 

 be sent without i-isk of loss in three ways:

THE BIGGEST PREMIUM OUT! 



Two Papers For the Price of One. 



The Parm Journal, of Philadelphia, a monthly agricultural journal of 16 pages, sent one 

 Year Free for one subscription to Gleanings, with $1.00, paid in advance, either new or re- 

 newal. In the case of a renewal, all arrears, if any, must be paid in addition to 1 year in 

 advance; or with either new name or renewal at f I.IO, and this name may also count on 

 another premium. 



There are, no doubt, very few readers of Glean- 

 ings who do not also take some agricultural paper. 

 Among our very large list of agricultui'al ex- 

 changes there is not another one as pithyand to the 

 point as tlie Farm Journal. 



It is now in its nineteenth volume, and takes the 

 lead among all the agricultural journals of this 

 country and of the world. It gives no chromos, 

 puffs no swindles, inserts no humbug advertise- 

 ments, lets otlier folks praise it, and makes good to 

 subscribers any loss by advertisers who prove to be 

 swindlers. The editor was born on a farm, and 

 'reared at the plow-handles, and the contributors 

 are practical men and women, who write with their 

 sleeves rolled up, and who briefly and plainly tell 



the best and most profitable way of doing things on 

 the farm and in the house, as learned from actual 

 experience. This is what has sent it ahead of all 

 otiiers in circulation. 



The regular price of this excellent journal is .i0 

 cts. a year, and it is well worth it; but by special 

 contract with the Farm Journal we are en- 

 abled to make the above very liberal otters. 



Christ Before Pilate. We have a few of the repro- 

 ductions of that magnificent painting in colors; a 

 very fine picture, which we will .send to any one who 

 wishes, while they last, at 35 cents each, postage 10 

 cents extra, or free for a new subscription, post- 

 paid, with your own renewal.
