Nos. 29, 30, 31, 61, 62, 63, 64, and 76 lo 
1 00 inclusive, will each, be delivered FREE of ail charges,

, ,., id. no those reached only by the Overland Mail — The other 
cost tin recipient only the freight after leaning Ou 
man ufactory of each , by any conveyance that may be siiecifled. 
Description of the Premiums. 
A Full Description of all the premiums is given on 
an extra sheet, a copy of which will be sent free to every 
one desiring it. We have only room here for the following : 
I\'o. a».— Early Rose Potatoes.— This 
remarkable variety has awakened so much interest 
throughout the country that, there is a general desire 
to get a few a8 a start for seed. A few hundred people 
only have been able to get them. We have, therefore, ar- 
ranged with Messrs. B. K. Bliss & Son to supply us with 
a quantity of the genuine article, put up in 3 ft parcels, 
to go by mail, post-paid, to any part of the country. 
They should go out before freezing weather, but when too 
late for this, we will keep them until warm enough to 
mail them in Spring. This premium can only remain 
open bo long ae the supply lasts. For some account of 
the Early Rose, see page 356 of Agriculturist for last 
month (October,) and Messrs. Bliss & Son's advertise- 
ment in same paper. We send 3 lbs. to the canvasser 
furnishing a club of four at $1.50 each. For fourteen 
subscribers at $1.50 each, we will send four 3 lb. packages. 
IVo. 78 — Orandall's Improved 
Building Blocks furnish a most attractive amuse- 
ment for children. They are very simple in construction, 
will stand years of children's handling without breaking, 
and give renewed pleasure daily. Churches, Dwellings, 
Barns, Mills, Fences, Furniture, etc., in almost endless 
variety, can be built with them, and the structures re- 
main so firm as to be carried about. For developing the 
ingenuity and taste of children they are unequaled. The 
Blocks are put up in neat boxes, and with each box is a 
card giving various designs of buildings. The Premium 
pets are plain. The same blocks may be had, maple 
finished, by sending 3 more subscribers, at $1.50 each, or 
10 more at $1 each. Send for a descriptive Bhow-bill. 
I\os. 7« to 81 — Volumes of the 
American Agriculturist (Unbound). — These 
amount to a large and valuable Library on all matters 
pertaining to the Farm, Garden, and Household, and con- 
tain more varied information on these subjects than can 
be obtained in books costing three times as much. We 
have stereotype plates from the Sixteenth to the Twenty- 
seventh Volume complete, from which we print numbers 
as needed. The price of the volumes is $1.50 each, at the 
Office, or$1.75if sent by mail, as they must be post-paid. 
They are put up in clean numbers, with the Index to 
each volume. They are profusely Illustrated, the 
Engravings used in tbem having alone cost about 
$30.0110. Those obtaining premiums for less than twelve 
volumes can select any volumes desired, from XVI to 
XXVII, inclusive. For ordinary use, the sets of numbers 
unbound wilt answer quite well.— Many hundreds of 
these volumes are taken every year as premiums. 
Nos. 82 to 87— Bound Volumes of 
Agriculturist.— These arc the same as Nos. 76 to 81 
above, but are neatly bound in uniform style, and cost 
extra for binding and postage. Sent post-paid. 
I\os.88to »»-«OOD LIBRARIES. 
—In these premiums, we offer a choice of Books for 
the Farm, Garden, and Household. The per- 
son entitled to any one of the premiums SS to 90 may 
select any books desired from the next column, to the 
amount of the premiums, and the books will be forward- 
ed, paid through to the nearest Post-Offlce, or Express 
office, as we may find it most convenient to send them. 
$25 or $50 worth of books pertaining to the farm 
will give the boys new ideas, set them to thinking and 
observing, and thus enable them to make their heads 
help their hands. Any good book will, in the end, be of 
far more value to a youth than to have an extra acre of 
land, on coming to manhood. The thinking, reasoning, 
observing man, will certainly make more off from 49 
acres, than he would off from 50 acres without the men- 
tal ability which reading will give him. Our premiums 
will enable manya family to secure a larger or smaller Li- 
brary. {5^~ Let the Farmers of a neighborhood unite 
their efforts and get an agricultural Library for general use. 
No. lOO — General Book Premium. - 
Any one not desiring the specific Book premiums, 88 to 99, 
on sending any number of names above 25, may select 
Books from the next column, to the amount of 10 cents 
for each subscriber sent at $1 : or to the amount of 30 
cents for each name sent at the (ten) club price of $1.20 
each : or to the amount of 60 cents for each name at 
$1.50. Tliis offer is only for clubs of 25 or more. Tlie 
books will be sent by mail or express, prepaid through by us. 
101-10J.-DEVOS BIJJLES.— Owing 
to the absence from home of the owner, we were unable 
to announce these very desirable premiums last month. 
The Devons are remarkably beautiful eattle, of a dark 
red or bright mahogany color ; they are very hardy and 
active— able to pick up a living easily. The cows give a 
medium quality of rich milk, and hold out long. The 
oxen are the best lfght-dmft cattle in the world— am- 
bitious, yet docile, quick, intelligent, and tough. Devon 
beef is of superior quality, and always quoted high in 
our beef markets. Dcvons come slower to maturity than 
most other breeds, but remain much longer of full vigor 
and value. — Grade Devons out of large common cows 
make cither large red oxen of great docility, quickness, 
and strength, or almost uniformly fine, good-sized cows 
anil excellent milkers We have selected the following 
animals from the celebrated herd of the Hon. Ephraiji 
II. Hyde, of Stafford, Conn., viz.: one 3-ycar and two 
1-year old bulls, and two bull calves, all of Mr. Hyde's 
own breeding. This herd has taken the most important 
prizes for the past two years, at least, of the New England 
Agricultural Society, and has, we are confident, no supe- 
rior in America. Wherever these animals go, they will 
improve the stock of the region.
