Now for the Premiums 
In Earnest, 
CanTassei*!^ for our exi-clieiU Piemiums have been 
busy, but thus f.ir mainly out on the "skirmtsli line." 
picking up juw subscribers, of which about 25)000 
have already been g;itheret.I, eniitling tiie canvasseis to 
nearly $5,000 woitli of desirable anicles. Now begins 
the heavy campaign, as over 100,000 subscriptions expi'-e 
with tins number. The renewals of any of these vUien 
gathered by canvassers will count in their premium lists 
along with the new names already sent in, and those here- 
after furnisheJ.. A little thorough energetic work now will 
gather names enoush in almost every town to secure one 
or more of the valuable articles named in tlie table in 
next column. (For description of ihesc articles, see Oc- 
tober Agriculturist, or send for a printed Premium De- 
scriptive List, whicli will be sent free to all applicanis,) 
Anybody can get a premium. Even if half a dozen 
start a club in the same place, there are usually people 
enough to furnish a premium club to each. Many small 
country towns and villages have 50 to 250 subscribers. 
Most of tliose wild have sent in premium lists thus 
far, have written in enthusiastic terms. Many have 
earned from $10 to S25 a day, in just such articles as 
they desired. See " what a young man did," on page 124. 
Read As;ain the " Six Suggestive Questions " which 
were printed on pace 381 of the November As^ricuUurixt. 
Note the bordered column, on page 425. Please let 
us have the names as fast as gathered. There will he 
a rush of work, at best, lowards the end of the month. 
Send along the names now, and take any desired time lo 
increase the list fora large premium, or more than one. 
You can liardly Promise too much for our next 
volume. It shall be worth many times its cost to every 
subscriber, whether living in Country, Village and City. 
The Pax>ei' Is fiood; the people are to be found 
who want it ; somebody can get splendid premiums for 
finding them : may it not as well be tjnu. as any one else ? 
Over 8000 Persons have oblaincd good premiums 
in past years, and many hundreds have already se- 
cured them this year. Them is plenty of room for 
others to do the same thing. We are ready to send one 
or more premiums to each of the 2:.,000 Post-Offices in 
the United States and . British America, if called for. 
Will 1J0U get onr of fhem 7 If is easij to do sn. Tux it. 
^^ By Wholesale purchases, by advertising a^nge- 
ments, etc., we can pay m((c/e morf in premiums rnan in 
cash. Every article is given at the regular cash price. 
Sacli article offered is for a definite number of 
subscribers ; every one thus knows just what is re- 
quired. A premium is not dependent upon favoritism, 
or upon what some unknown person elsewhere is doing. 
About Nine Thousand Persons have so 
far received o\u- premiums willi grrat satisfaction ; we 
have not heard of one in a thousand who has not been 
highly pleased. It is a good work. The tens of thou- 
sands of persons persuaded by our canvassers to take 
and read the paper, have been benefited by so doing. 
many Clei-gymen are receiving the Cyclopedia, 
Sewing Machines, Melodeons, eto., as premiums. Some 
make up the subscription lists themselves, witli the freely 
rendered aid of their congregations. Others receive the 
articles from their Parishioners who unite their efforts 
and make up a premium club of subscribers for the papci".

three Premiums, fiOH. 1, 2, 0, and from 29 to 32, 
and from 40 t'> 7 5 vichtsieey \rill each be delivered 
FUEE of all charges, by mail or exfiress, to the Post- 
Office or express office nearest reripient, to any place in 
lite United States or Territories, excepting those reached 
only by the Overland Mail.— The other articles fast the 
recipient only the freight after leaving the manufactory 
of each, by any conveytince that may be specified. 
^j^ We take so muck pains lo procure only good 
articles in all rases, that any one securing tin ylhing from 
our premium Usl, saves the risk usually run nf getting 
poor or indifferent goods, when bmjin.^ of unknown or 
irresponsible parlies. Every thing ii'C send out as a 
premium is guaranteed to be the best of its kind and price. 
Our preniinms arc .^tand.ard arlicies, and pnoujh 
can beobl;iiiiea lo supply all calls for premiums for six 
inoiillis. Every canvasser can talie abundant time, but 
As fast as subscriptions are obtained, send lliem 
along, tliat tiie subscribers may be^in to receive the 
paper; and when all the names that c.-in be oblaincd are 
foruarJed, select the premium, an.! it will be promptly 
furnished. To save mistakes and lieeping accminls, send 
with each list of names, the exact subscripliun money 
(in Post Office money orders, drafts or checks on N. Y. 
City; or, if these can not be had, register money letters.) 
J;;y Every name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked when- sent in. (We can not count otliers.) 
Old and ne-tv subscribers count in premium lists, 
but a part should be new names, for it is to obtain 
sucli that the premiums are in part oifered. Papers to Pre- 
mium clubs need not all go to one Post Office. Of course 
the extra cony, usually ofTereJ to clubs of ten or twen- 
ty, will not he furnished when apvemium is calleil for. 
Specimen Numbers of tlie Agriculturist, Cards, 
and .Showbills, as maybe needed, will be supplied to Can- 
vassers, These should be used carefully and economi- 
cally, as each extra copy of tiie riaper with postage 
{2c.), wliicli mu;t be jiie-paid, costs about 1"- cents.

now that this loo is open for selection (See table). We 
know it to be a good machine, from Ihe long experience 
of a sister, and of several neighbors, and we have recent- 
ly been trying it in our own family with much satisfac- 
tion. All we said in October (page 360) applies e(]«ally 
to this machine. It will be noted that we offer Ihe $60 
machine. For f'irther particuhirs. or descriptive circu-
