EVERYWHERE. 
The Publishers of the American Agri- 
culturist have the pleasure of presenting 
to their friends and patrons a most valu- 
able assortment of Very Good, Very De- 
sirable, Very Useful Things, one or more 
of which can be had without money and 
without price, by one or more persons 
residing at or near each of the 41,000 
Post-Offices in the United States, and by 
others residing in any other place in the 
civilized world. 
N. B. — Evenj article descriled in tlie 
following pages is netv, first-class, and 
warranted to be just ivliat it is described 
to be. Every article sent out tvill be neio 
from the factory, of the latest and best 
manufacture. — No better can be obtained 
anywhere. Every article is put down at 
its regular cash price, and is just as valu- 
able as so much cash, for use, for sale, or 
for a present to a friend. 
Read these Explanations, 
There is no clap-trap, no gift enter- 
prise, nothing deceptive in this ar- 
rangement. It is a straight-forward 
business, taken part in by over 18,000 
persons in past years, with general satis- 
faction to themselves, and to the Pub- 
lishers. Here is the explanation : 
The American Agriculturist has been 
issued for Tbirty-six Years ; it has an 
immense circulation, and is a thorough- 
going, useful jjaper for all classes, in 
Country, City, and Village. It is beau- 
tifully illustrated with over 600 useful 
engravings every j-car. — There ought to 
be an Agent for it at every post-office in 
the world ; but the Publishers, having 
tried the agency system, found it so diffi- 
cult to follow it u]i in all its details, that 
they dropped it entirely, and pursue the 
following plan : 
They allow and invite any reliable per- 
son, any where, to receive and forward 
subscribers, to show the paper to others, 
and ask them to subscribe, and thus do a 
favor to both the publishers, and to all 
those whose subscriptions they thus re- 
ceive and forward. For all such assist- 
ance, the Publishers offer good remu- 
neration in the form of valuable articles, 
which are presented free, the article and 
its value being proportioned to the num- 
ber of Subscribers looked after and for- 
warded. In this way almost any one can 
easily secure and forward three, four, 
five, or more, names of subscribers, and 
receive the article offered, free. 
IVi B. — TJie American Agriculturist is 
itself, alone, worth many times its cost to 
every subscriber, and no premiums or ex- 
tras are intended to be offered with the 
paper. These Premium Articles are in- 
tended solely as remiineration for any 
time and attention given by those who 
show thepaper, speah of its merits and use- 
fulness, and receive and forward names. 
IS. B. — Every doUar paid by Bubscribers is ex- 
pended upon the paper, and is returned to them in 
the paper itself. The premiums are paid for with 
the money received for good advertisements — only 
good ones are admitted into the paper. 
Vi. BJ. — These premium articles are bought at 
the lowest wholesale rates for cash. So, while they 
are just as valuable as so much money, the Publish- 
ers are able to give inuch larger remuneration than 
if they pursued the old system of cash commissions. 
Look over the articles and descriptions 
in the following 7 pages ; select the arti- 
cle most wanted ; take a copy of the pa- 
per and show it to friends and neighbors, 
and very soon a list will be obtained 
which will secure the article desired. If 
a large article is aimed for, bitt not se- 
cured, a smaller one can be taken.

If the Reader only knew the good 
ciualiiy and real value of these pre- 
mium articles, and Iwiv easy a mat- 
ter it is to show the American Agri- 
culturist to some friends and neigh- 
%\bors, tell them its value, and ash\%. 
*\them to try it a year, and thus * 
%\ gather a few subscribers, and him-l^ 
self receii'c the premium offered, he * 
would take hold of it at once. * 
TT7;«i; over 18,00© others have* 
done, any one else can easily do. 
*»* There are from 30 to iiOO families, or more, 
in the vicinity of eiich Post Office, every one of 
whom would bo boiiefiUd by haviui: this Journal 
for a year, at a cost, pontage iucluded. of ."1 cents 
a week. From one to ft dozen premium clubs, 
small or large, may be gathered iu the vicinity of 
cich Post Ofllco, and as many premiums be ob- 
Be§:in to-day. — To liastcu for- 
ward the subscrijitions for 1878, so that 
the names can be all properly entered and 
recorded in advance of the usual rush in 
December and January, the Publishers 
offer /;•(>;/) fin's time forward to receive 
subscriptions for 1878, and begin send- 
ing the papers from the receipt of the 
subscription for the rest of 1877, with- 
out extra charge. This will be an ex-
