"YOU HIT ME." 
1 Large Pay *. Little Work.' 
" Why, that's just what I have been 
looking after, these many years, and hav- 
ing been disappointed everywhere else, 
I am going to try you." 
So says a Reader of the American 
Agriculturist, after seeing the Publishers' 
announcement last month, inviting every- 
body to try for a Premium this fall ; and 
that's about what a great many others 
may well say. We do offer " large pay 
for little work," and we want not 
less than 2e>,000 people to do this 
little work and get the large pay. 
And here's the way to do it : 
Just take a copy of the Agriculturist 
and show it to the first friend or neigh- 
bor you meet. Show him the many 
beautiful and instructive Engravings it 
contains, and tell him there are to be 
over )S13.©©0 worth of these engiav- 
ings between now and the close of next 
year. — Tell him there will be more than 
a Thousand Columns of tli9 most care- 
fully prepared reading matter, contain- 
ing many thousands of useful hints, sug- 
gestions, and directions about crops, the 
most profitable way of raising and selling 
them, etc., and about man)' other topics, 
useful not only to cultivators, but to 
everybody else. Tell him that these pages 
are not prepared by mere fine writers, but 
by experienced men who live and work 
on farms at various points, all the way 
from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mount- 
ains — men who have their eyes and ears 
wide open, watching for every hint that 
may be useful to themselves and our 
readers. — Tell him it is impossible for 
him to read what these men tell with- 
out getting some hints that will add 
many dollars to the profit of his own 
labor. — Show the Household and Child- 
ren's Department, and tell him how much 
of the interesting and useful these col- 
umns contain. — Talk to him just as you 
would if you had some good thing you 
wished to sell him very cheaply, on 
his account quite as much as your own, 
— which you can truthfully do. If he 
thinks he cannot afford to subscribe, 
show him that it is less than half a 
cent a day ! — Show him that the most 
successful men are almost always those 
who read most and think most — who 
work with their minds as well as with 
their hands. — Tell him the most happy 
men at work are those who read about 
their business, and have something to oc- 
cupy their minds. Let him know of 
the faithful exposures of humbugs in the 
Agriculturist. If he is not convinced at 
the first talk, try him again at another 
time. The result will be, he will con- 
clude to try the Paper for a year if you 
will take his subscription and forward it. 
It may take a little time and patience at 
first, but if you persevere, your powers 
of persuasion will rapidly increase, and 
in a little time you will be able to con- 
vince any one of the truth, that it will 
pay him to subscribe. In this way you 
will be able to secure five, ten, twenty, 
fifty, a hundred — perhaps several hund- 
red subscribers, with very little work or 
time. We have canvassers who have se- 
cured five to seven hundred names in a 
single month. Human nature and human 
wants are about the same everywhere, 
and what has been done in some places 
can be done in others, — in yours. 
Well, now for the Pay. On the next 
page you will see a large list of first- 
rate articles. (See the descriptions of the 
articles in last month's paper, or, if you 
have not that number, send to the Pub- 
lishers for a new copy.) You will see 
that premium articles are offered for 
clubs of subscribers all the way from five 
to five hundred. All these articles are 
valuable for use or for sale. Plenty of 
people canvass as a business, and sell the 
premium articles, and in this way secure 
from <Si3 to $3© a day ! We speak not 
of what may be done, but of what Arts 
been done by many persons, and of what 
you may do. Try it with the determina- 
tion that you will succeed, and you will. 
And NOW IS the time to begin. Sub- 
scribers beginning now pay no more than 
if they wait until January. (See page 
398.) We enter all new names now com- 
ing in, to extend from the time they come 
until the end of 1870, for the price of one 
year, 81.50. So those subscribing this 
month get a "Baker's Dozen," or 13 
months' subscription for the price of 12. 
(Subscribers at club rates, and tbose in premium 
lists, all get the extra numbers free. This will help 
canvassers for premium lists, who begin at once.)

fore them, and receive their subscrip- 
tions. — 51 ll. The premiums will pay

Our Books for past years show large 
results, obtained in canvassing by 
Farmers, 
Gardeners, 
Postmasters, 
Merchants, 
Clergymen, 
Teachers, 
Widow Ladies, 
Married Ladies, 
R. R. Conductors, Maiden Ladies, 
Clerks, Girls and Boys, 
etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. 
Postmasters, and their clerks, in very large 
numbers, have easily collected large premium lists. 
Farmers everywhere have secured Animals, 
Implements, or other articles Merclsaias-i 
have, with profit to themselves and to their custom- 
ers, made up premium clubs, aud frequently delivi r- 
ed the papers at their stores Many Clergy- 
men have readily, often in three or four days, ob- 
tained Melodeons, Cyclopedias, Sewing Machines, 
etc Teachers have supplied themselves with 
desirable books, etc., in some cases, and in others 
largely increased their salaries Profession- 
al Men have done the same tiling HSail- 
rond Conductors have also been successful. 
In one case a conductor on a short local road got 
more for his premiums than he did from his regular 
salary. .. .Very many I.ADB1RS have earned 
more than " men's wages " in canvassing. One 
lady earned $3. SAO from September to July last, 
solely by canvassing for these premiums and selling 
the articles. Many others may in time secure the 
same results. (She began with a small number, 
years ago, and has kept on increasing the number 
ever since.) Boys and Girls, almost 
•without number, have secured the Great Dic- 
tionaries aud many other articles. Some of tliem 
have got a Sewing Machine "for mother."
