or deductioa for postage, or any other charge to the 

 publisher. 



II. Subscribers who may have already paid the regu- 

 lar subscription price of $0 in the manner above re- 

 quired, for a single copy, shall have the privilege, upon 

 sending a postpaid order, of having a second copy of 

 the same volume sent to any new subscriber, without 

 further charge, for that volume, if so ordered during its 

 time of publication. 



III. Alike privilege will be allowed to every old 

 subscriber who has not paid, but who shall do so, as 

 above, before the issue of the 6lh number of the then 

 current volume, (at which time of all debtors' bills 

 will be made out and sent) ; thus in effect reducing 



TO HALF PRICE THE COST OF THE WORK TO EVERY 

 SUBSCRIBER, OLD OR NEW, %VHO MAY CHOOSE TO 



AVAIL OF THE OFFER. ( See also Art. V. ) 



IV. If, however, no more than one copy is ordered, 

 the subscription price will still be, as heretofore, $5 

 the volume; as it is not designed to permit any sub- 

 scription debt, or payment, to be made for less than 

 $5. And if an order is sent for two copies, without 

 full compliance with the conditions annexed, (in Art. 

 VI,) only one will be sent. 



V. Clubs of ten subscribers (old or new, or of both) 

 by sending $25 (net payment) in advance and at one 

 time, belore February 1st, of each year, shall be fur- 

 nished with ten copies of that volume only. 



VI. The price of back volumes, as heretofore, is 

 $0 for one alone, $10 for any three together, and in 

 the same proportion (.$3.34 cents each,) for any num- 

 ber of volumes short of a full set. Entire sets of 8 

 vols, (the 8th commencing January 31st, 1S40,) wiU 



be supplied for ^20, or $2.50 the volume, paid in ad- 

 vance, with the order. 

 VII. All mail payments must be made in 



NOTES, OR CHECKS, OF PAR VALUE IN VIRGINIA, Or 



of a CITY bank of the state in which the subscriber 

 resides. And all letters to the editor in regard to the 

 Fanners' Register must be post-paid — except such as 

 contain articles for publication. 



VII[. The risk of loss of payments for subcriptions 

 sent free of postage, which have been properly com- 

 mitted to the mail or to the hands of a post master, is 

 assumed by the editor. 



IX. For all copies not received by mail, at the 

 proper post offices, duplicates will be furnished to those 

 subscribers who have complied with their own obliga- 

 tions ; provided that the failure shall he notified through, 

 the postmaster, and within one month after the date of 

 the miscarried copy. 



X. If a subscription is not directed to be discontin- 

 ued before the first number of the next volume has 

 been published, it will be taken as a continuance for 

 another year. Subscriptions must commence with the 

 beginning ofsome one volume, and will not be taken 

 for less than a year's publication. 



XI. The mutual obligations of the publisher and 

 subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon as 

 the first number of the volume is issued ; and after that 

 time, no discontinuance of a subscription will be per- 

 mitted. Nor will a subscription be discontinued 'for 

 any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains 

 due, unless at the option of the editor, (or in obedience 

 to the regulations of the Editorial Convention.)
