Agents. — We do not appoint any agents — all are 

 voluntary. Any person so disposed, can act as agent 

 in any place. 



Enlaiige Youe Ci-ui!.— WiU not the fiiends of 

 the Illinois Farmer inquire how many copies of 

 the Fahjiku are taken in their rospective offices, and 

 pa?s around among those who ought to have their 

 names added to th'jlist? Our terms arc so low to 

 clubs of ton and twenty that wo ought to have one 

 or the other made np at every oiTice in the State, and 

 at every office in Cen'ml Illinoi?, one of twenty or 

 more. Will our friends, ami the friends of practical 

 asTriculturc sec to it, and thus lay us under renevrcd 

 obligations ? 



To SiSGLi; SuESi.RiBKRS.- -You rcceivc the only 

 coijy of the Farsikh that goes to your post office- 

 (Jan you not sonil one, two, three or mure new sub- 

 scribers, without any trouble ? Try. Sample num- 

 bers, etc.. sent free, 



Dkafts. — ^Tliosc remitting us largo .amounts of 

 money, will pl-.'ase send us d^-afts on Spring;ieLI or 

 Chicago, less they exchange. If you send cash in a 

 letter, be sure that it is well sealed and well directed, 

 to Eailhache.& Baker, Springfield, Illinois; 



The Farmer as- a Phesent. — Anj' of onr subscri- 

 bers who wish to make <a present of the Illinois 

 FARitER for ISG3, can have it at the lowest chib rates, 

 when out of the State. For fifty cents you can treat 

 your Eastern friends to a Western i\gricuharal Pa- 

 per. In no way can you invest that amount to so 

 good advantage to emigration. 



Send Kow. — Any person who remits pay for a club 

 of ten or fiftqen, or any other number at i'le specified 

 rates for such clubs, can afterwards add to the clufag, 

 and take advantage of the reduction. Thus a person 

 sending us five subscribers and three dollars, can af- 

 terwards send us tlirce doIiai'S more and receive six 

 copies. 



To The Castial E,K,vnER.— This and other num- 

 bers of the Illinois Famiep. will be sent to many 

 persons who now use it for the first time. Yvill they 

 not examine it, and if they like it, subscribe for it, 

 and ask their neighbors to subscribe ? Sample num- 

 bers, prospectuses, etc., sent free to all applicants. 

 See terms elsewhere. 



How TO Obtain Sitescribers. — Tfie 'best way is to 

 send for sample numbers. Any young man by can- 

 vassing his neighborhood, can easily make up a club 

 of five, ten or twenty, but no time should bo lost iu 

 doing so, for your neighbors may send east for their 

 paper which, though valuable there, is ranch less so 

 here, the difference of soil and climate puttitig them 

 out of their reckoning when attempting to teach us 

 Western farming. 



How TO Help.— The friends of the Illinois Fau- 

 MER will find a prospectus in another column. We 

 desire to suggest a few ways in which they can use it 

 to advantage : 



1. Show the Farmer to those who are unacquaint- 

 ed wi'h it, and tell them what you think of it. 



2. Send for prospectuses, and put them into the 

 hands of those who will use them, and place posters 

 where farmers will sec them. 



.3. Get post masters interested. They see every- 

 body, and aje cfEcicnt workers. 



4. Send us the names of persons in your town to 

 whom we can send prospectuses and .'ample num- 

 bers. 



5. Begin now, before the agents of E:! stern pa- 

 1 pers get up their clubs. gi 



This last hint is especially iu^portat-t. Let us 

 hear from you soon. See terms elsewhere. 



_^g^ Clubs niay he composed of persons in all 

 parts of the United St;itcs. It will be the same to 

 the publishers if they send papers to one or a hund- 

 red post ofEces. Additions-made at any time at club 

 rates. We mail by printed slips, which are so cheaply 

 placed on the papers, that it matters little whetlier ■ 

 they go to one or a dozen offices. 



_^SS^ Correspondents will please be particular to 

 give the name of the post office, county and State. 



JSifT^Spccimen numbers will be sent gratis, upon 

 applicatir-n. '
