Two Halves equal One Whole One. 
Onr offer of general premiums for 1868 must close on 
the last day of June, except from localities too distant to 
forward names in time to arrive by that day. — By special 
request, we offer to receive subscriptions for the remain- 
ing half of this year, and count two such half-year sub- 
scribers as one name in any premium club list— though 
every new subscriber ought to have all the numbers of 
this year. We have subscribers at most of the 30,000 
PoBt-Offices in the United States and the Dominion, 
but we have sent premiums to only about 6,000 of them 
as yet, though there is hardly a Post-office where there 
are not persons enough to make up a premium club, and 
persons, too, who would gladly take the Agriculturist, if 
they only knew its value and cheapness. (The first five 
numbers of this year, for example, contain 204 large 
pages, over 180 engravings, and a very large amount of 
useful, practical reading matter for the Household, the 
Garden, and the Farm. The next seven numbers will be 
equally valuable or better, and yet the Agriculturist for 
the whole year is supplied for only $1.50, or about the 
cost of the white paper it is printed on). The fact that 
so lar^e a number of persons have obtained premiums, 
is strong proof that others can do tlie same thing at other 
Post -Offices. Indeed, at some larger offices men and 
women have obtained subscribers enough to get several 
premiums. Single individuals have this year each re- 
ceived from $500 to $1700 worth of premiums. One lady 
alone has obtained two $650 Piano^and sold them, besides 
getting a lot of other premiums- Now there are over 
24,000 Post -Offices 
still left, at most of which any enterprising person may 
get one or more valuable premium articles, (see list of 
them in the next column,) and do it during this month of 
June. It will be seen by the table, that only 10 or 15 sub- 
scribers are required for several of the good articles 
offered. More than this number have been obtained at 
n multitude of the smallest post-offices in the sparsely 
settled regions of the Far West, and in the northern 
regions of New England, New York, and almost all over 
British America. Single post-offices in Nova Scotia take 
from 100 to 200 copies each. Our "Explanation" in 
April showed Juno and why we can give these large pre- 
t3r~ miums, and we now renew the invitation to all .^H 
SS~ our readers, to make the effort this month to ^Sl 
\^~ secure a premium article. Every copy of the _j£i 
paper introduced into a neighborhood will awaken 
thought and stimulate improvement, guard the people 
agaiust humbugs, and be useful in many ways. Persons 
have told us that improvements, set a goiug by this 
journal, have resulted in almost doubling the value 
of real estate— thus adding scores of thousands of 
dollars to the real wealth of a single locality. It is 
Indeed very natural that this should be the case. 
IST" But aside from the good done to others _^gj 
tST' by introducing a journal of this character, the _^J 
^- premiums appeal to one' sown direct .immediate, „^ 
fW personal interest. The premium articles are all _ggj 
E^™ very good and valuable, and a few hours of „^J 
t^~ canvassing will secure one of them without „^3 
t^r- cost. Try it with a will and determination _jgj 
gg~ to succeed, and in nine cases out of ten you _^gj 
t^~ will be successful. Take a copy of the paper, m ^f 
E^"" exhibit it among neighbors and friends, in „^J 
E3^~ your own neighborhood and elsewhere (for ^&$ 
E^~ premium clubs need not be-all at one post- _^J 
E®~ office), show what the paper is, what it is „^J 
j=g" worth, how cheap it is, and in a brief time the _^a 
t^~ desirednumberofsubscriberscanbegathered, „^3 
E5P*"* and the premium secured. A full description „^J 
of the premiums on a separate sheet will be sent free to 
any one desiring it. Any Specimen numbers, cards and 
show bills needed, will be supplied free. A multitude of 
•persons have during May completed lists already begun, 
and have begun and made up new lists. June is just as 
favorable a season for thousands of others to do the 
same. We advise YOU to TRY IT. 
Old and neiv subscribers count in premium lists. 
As fast as subscriptions are obtained, send them 
along, that the subscribers may begin to receive the 
paper ; and when all the names that can be obtained are 
forwarded, select the premium, and it will be promptly 
furnished. To save mistakes and keeping accounts, send 
with each list of names, the exact subscription money. 
Remit Post-Office money orders, or drafts or checks on 
N. Y. City ; if these cannot be had, register money letters. 
E^- Every name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked when sent in. (We cannot count others.)

sixth Volume complete, from which we print numbers as 
needed. The price of the volumes is $1.50 each, at the

volume. They are profusely Illustrated, the Engravings 
used in them having alone cost above Twenty Thousand 
Dollars ! Those obtaining premiums for less than eleven 
volumes, can select any volumes desired, from XVI to 
XXVI, inclusive. For ordinary use, the Bets of numbers 
unbound will answer quite well. — Many hundreds of 
these volumes are taken every year as premiums.
