PREMIUM LIST — 1863. 
Good Pay to Voluntary Agents who attend to 
Collecting and forwarding Clubs of Subscribers 
to the American Agriculturist. 
(Premiums opeu to all who Desire them.) 
Uf. B — The great advance in the cost of some of 
the Articles offered in our Premium List, renders it 
necessary to republish the list with the needed changes. 
For some of the articles we now pay half as much 
again as we did when the list was first made out for 
this year. When asked to do so, we adhere to the 
terms offered in the January number, up to February 
1st, after which the terms will be as named below. It 
will be seen that we have not raised the number of 
names required proportionally, as much as the in- 
creased cost of the articles would really demand. The 
following terms will hold, good until June 1st, when 
other changes will be announced IF needed. 
13- All Premiums offered, of every kind, will 
close with the Month of July.

'To all who take the I rouble to collect and forward clubs 
of subscribers, we offer a remuneration in the form of first- 
rate articles, as named below. (The pay thus offered is 
much larger than we could give in cash, as we get these 
articles on extra good terms when for premiums.) 
^"We wish it distinctly understood that these 
premiums are offered in good faith — no cheap, trashy, im- 
perfect, poorly made, or second-hand thing, will be sent 
out, but each article offered, is the best of its kind. 
Ity We make no distinction between new and old subscri- 
bers In giving thcBe premiums, but It is expected that every 
canvasser will not only gather up the names of old sub- 
scribers, but also secure a large number of new names. 
Pf" Every person collecting names for premiums, should 
send two copies of each list of names— one of them marked 
"For Premiums,"and also with the name of the sender. 
ZW Every person collecting names for premiums, should 
send the names with the money as fast as obtained, so that 
the subscribers may i>egin to receive their papers; Two cop- 
ies of eaeli list of names should be sent— one of them marked 
at thft top "For Premiums," and also with the name of the 
sender. The premium will be paid as soon as any club is 
mads up— if duplicate lists are sent. 
ET5T" Any person who lias commenced sending In names at 
30c. and finally fails to get the higher number of names, can 
fall back upon the smaller number, by remitting the 20 cents 
extra on each of the smaller number of names required. 
ff3F~ Clubs need not be all confined to one Post Otllce. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREMIUMS. 
Premium \'<». i— «;m»tl Books. 
Any person sending 16 or more subscriber*, may select 
from our book list, (page 159.) to the amount of 12)4 cents for 
each name, at the club price of 80 cents, or to the amount oj 
SSK cents for each name at $1. Farmers' Clubs have 
frequently joined together and obtained a good library 
through these premiums. N. B.— The books will be deliver- 
ed to the recipients, (by mail or express,) jfree of all cost, 
when uuder 1,500 miles. For Books going over 1,500 miles, 
18 cents on each dollar's worth must be sent to us to pay the 
extra postage required lu advance. 
C3?" As tiie prices of books are continually changing, the 
book premiums will be reckoned by the prices given In the 
list for the month in which they are called for. 
No. 2 — Family Clotlies-AVringer. 
This is a first-rate household implement— a great saver of 
garments, and of hard work. With this machine set on the 
edge of the wash-tub, the garments are easily and rapidly 
passed between two India-rubber rollers, the water fall- 
ing back into the tub, and the garments dropping into a 
basket, in a drier condition than they can be wrung by 
hand, and therefore more quickly dried on the line. A 
child can, in a few minutes, wring out a tubful of clothes. 
We have had one in constant use in our family for nearly 
three years, and it is still as good as new. The machine 
offered. No. 2, is just the thing for family use. It is provided 
with cogs to move the rollers together, so that It is not pos- 
sible to tear garments, as is the case with cheaper Wringers 
not provided with cogs. We present one of these No. 2 Wring- 
ers to any person procuring and forwarding 19 subscribers, 
at 51 each, or 4:0 at the lowest club price, (30 cents each.) 
Premium No. 3— Washing Machine. 
The Nonpareil "Washing Machine wehavehadin 
use in our family for over a year past, and it has not only 
driven out half-a-dozen placed there on trial, but lias really 
given excellent satisfaction. It is the only machine, out ot 
twenty we have tried, which the " help" cheerfully use with- 
out compulsion. It is a labor-saver and a clothes-saver— two 
Important considerations. The clothes are put in, in quantity 
and quickly washed by simply turning a crauk. The 
balance-wheel adjusts the force required, so as to make the 
turning easy. Take it all in all, it is the best Washing Ma- 
chine we know of, and is worthy of a place in every family. 
There are three sizes ; we select No. 2, as the best size for 
common family use. The price of No. 2 is $16. This ma- 
chine we will present to any one forwarding 35 subscribers 
at the regular price ($1 each); or 75 subscribers at the 
lowest club price, (80 cents.) The machine can be sent to 
any point as freight, or by express, and will be forwarded, 
free of all expense, except the freight after leaving the city. 
Premium No. 4 — Sewing Machine. 
90) Subscriber i; at $1 each, (or 130 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person sending them to Wheeler A Wtlso/i's best 
S45 Sewing Machine, (including Hemmer), new 
from the factory, and of the very best make. There is no 
better family machine than this made, as we have proved by 
nearly Jive years' use in our own family, in connection with 
other machines. We want no better. The terms on 
which it is offered above, will enable many families to se- 
cure one without direct outlay of money. The Premium 
Machines will be selected new at the manufactory, and will 
be forwarded, well boxed, with full directions for setting up 
and using, and with no expense, except for freight. 
Premium lVo. 5 — Sewing Machine. 
79 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 112 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person procuring them to Mlllcox & Gibbs 1 $40 
Sewing Machine, including a set of Hemmers. 
This is the best machine of its kind, (sewing with one thread.) 
and has several points superior to other machines. It is neat, 
well made, simple in its operation ; and having tested one in 
our own family for more than two years, we think highly ot 
it, and can recommend it to those who can not afford to buy 
the higher priced double-thread machines. Some of our 
neighbors think this machine ahead of all others. Premium 5 
will be selected and sent the same as No. 4. 
Premiums Nos. 13 to 18— Back Volumes— A 
First-rale Library. 
These premiums (13 to 18,) will enable any one to secure 
the previous excellent volumes of the American Agricultur- 
ist, aB far back as Volume XVI. These will be sent post- 
paid, in cleau, new numbers unbound, but each volume by 
itself, with index. The whole five can be taken together, or 
one or more copies of any particular volume be selected, 
as desired. They will be presented as above, viz; For 20 
Subscribers at $1 each, (or 36 at SO cents each.) we will pre- 
sent six volumes. For 16 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 30 
at 80 cents each,) we will present live volumes. For 
13 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 2G at 80 cents each,) four 
volumes. For 10 Subscribers at $l each, (or 20 at 80 
cents each.) three volumes. For 15 Subscribers at 80 
cents each, two volumes. For 10 Subscribers at 80 
cents each, one volume. Let every one be careful to 
name just which back volumes are desired. 
Premium No. 19— Best File for Agriculturist. 
Jacobs 1 Portfolio File, made just to fit the Agri- 
culturist— l\\c name gilded on. This is a leather cover or 
portfolio, so arranged that successive numbers of the paper 
can be Inserted in a minute, and be properly preserved in 
book form for reading. When one volume Is completed, the 
sheets can be removed and stitched, and a new volume in- 
serted. A single cover will answer for a dozen successive 
volumes. It is the most complete file yet made. The price 
now is $1.25, and the postage 23 cents. We will forward It, 
post-paid, to any one sending fourteen subscribers, at the 
lowest club pi ice, (SO cents each.) 
Premiums Nos. G to 12 and 22 to 2G. 
We have not space to describe these particularly. The 
Cylinder Plow was described in this journal last year. The 
Eagle Plow is well known, and so is the Hay and Straw 
Cutter, and the Steel-toothed Cultivator, one of the most 
useful implements on the farm. The Lard and Wine Press 
is a very convenient household implement, for pressing out 
lard or tallow, the juice of grapes, currants, berries, &c. 
For the prices, and subscribers required, see the table above. 
Circulation of the Agriculturist.

stantiate this statement by comparing books.
