Beckwith 
Sewing Machines 
$12 and $20. 
We have offered as a Premium, and also for sale, for 
more than a year past, the Beckivitli Sewing 
KSacIifne, which has been fully described in previous 
numbers of this paper. We have already given and sold 
more than one thousand of these machines, and testi- 
monials of satisfaction have come from every quarter. 
We still offer the Beckivitli Sewing Ma- 
chine, Improved, price $12. A new and very 
simple braiding-foot has been made, by which a child can 
sew on braid without the least trouble, following any de- 
sired pattern with ease ; also a new arm, spiral spring 
and lever for raising the presser-foot, all of which are 
now set in a position that leaves the needle free to he 
threaded. The joint is much enlarged, and the machine 
is otherwise greatly strengthened and improved. The 
use of the braider-foot alone will be valued more than 
the cost of the machine. 
Each of these machines is pnt in a neat, compact 
box, with hemmer and guide, oil-can with oil, thread, 
different-sized needles, etc., with full Printed Directions 
for using. On receipt of $12 we will send one of these 
machines to any address, esprcssage to be paid by the 
purchaser. 
Xlic Machine as a Premium. 
We will give one of tHese $1"-J machines io 
any one who will collect and forward eight 
subscribers for Hearth and Home one year at 
S3 each; or sixteen subscribers to American 
Agriculturist for one year, at Si. 50 each, ex- 
pressage on the machine to be paid by the re- 
cipient of it.

chine as heretofore 
to the offer of the Improved $12 Ma- 
we now oiler the new 
PORTABLE FAMILY WIACHiME, 
price $30, which comprises all the excellencies of the former, 
with many valuable improvements. Its size and "power are 
increased, and its capacity thus very much enlarged, without 
impairing its portability. There have been added cam and 
eccentric movement, a balance-wheel, and also an oscillat- 
ing needle-clamp, by which Lhc length of stitch can with tlw 
greatest ease be changed to the finest shade of variation 
without touching the needle. 
To any onesending us $3n, we will send one of the Machine!

easily), expressage to be paid by purchaser,

MONEY. 
The Publishers of American Ag- 
riculturist and Hearth akd Home 
take pleasure in presenting in the 
adjoining Table, their new general 
Premium List for 1874. The Pre- 
miums which they have offered in 
past years have engaged the atten- 
tion of a very large number of 
persons of all ages and both sexes. 
Many thousands have secured Pre- 
miums, and very many of these, 
who at first had small hopes of 
success, have been themselves as- 
tonished at the case with which 
they have raised large clubs and 
secured valuable Premiums. 
Here is pleasant and profitable 
work for all. Any one who wishes 
to do good and make 
money, can do both by going 
to work as here invited by the pub- 
lishers of these two most valuable 
journals, American Agriculturist 
and Heaktu and Home. You 
need only to show specimens of 
the papers, promise the beautiful 
Chromos, which are now ready for 
delivery, according to the publish- 
ers' offer, and forward your sub- 
scriptions. TKY IT.
