paper at once. You can have any time, from -one to

no confusion of money accounts (e) Old and new

Description of Premium*. 
Every Premium is described in the October 
Agriculturist, and also in a Special Sheet, 
which will be sent free to every one desiring it. 
We have room here for the following only. 
>o.-ftl — 4'Botlies WriM«riia*;- Machine. 
— A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clothes- 
saving implement, that should be in every family. The 
wringing of elothes by hand is hard upon the hands, 
arms, and chest, and the twisting stretches and breaks 
the fibres with lever power. With the Wringing Ma- 
chine, the garments are passed rapidly between clastic 
rollers, which press the water out better than hand wring- 
ing, and as fast as one can pick up the garments. 
We have given thousands of these premiums, with almost 
universal satisfaction. They arc made by the Metro- 
politan Washing machine Co., Middlcfiekl, Ct. 
i> T o. -#fl. — Cake ISasliet.— A new pat- 
tern, canoe shaped, nicely chased and very taking. It is 
from the same makers and of equally good quality as the 
two preceding premiums: a beautiful table ornament. 
^'o. 4U>. — Revolving' BSntder Cooler. 
— This is a really good and useful article. It is so ar- 
ranged that a very little ice in the holder under the plate 
will keep butter cool and fresh for a long time on Lie 
table, even in the hottest weather. The cover revolves 
underneath the plate for use, and over for protection. 
The whole is in four pieces, which can all be taken 
apart for washing. From same house as last premium. 
Nos. 56, 57, 5S, 5J> — Pocket Eiu35ves. 
— now for the boys and gtrls !— These Premiums are 
among the most pleasing and useful that we have ever 
offered. Every boy, and girl, too, wants a pocket knife. 
We give them an opportunity to obtain a most valuable 
one for nothing but a little effort. These knives are made 
by Mr. J P. Swain, whose work isequal toauydoue 
in this country or Europe. No. 5G is a neat, substantial 
Knife, with three blades and buck-horn handle. No. 57 
is a still finer article, with four blades and buck-horn 
handle. No. 5S is an elegant Knife, with four blades and 
shell handle. No. 59 is a Ladies' Pocket Knife, a beau- 
tiful article, with four blades and shell handle. 
ICo. 64.— A Ciootl Watch.— The Watches 
made by the American Watch Co., WaltUain, 
Mass., have peculiarities of excellence which place 
them above all foreign rivalry. The substitution of 
machinery for hand labor has been followed not only 
by greater simplicity, but by a precision in detail, 
and accuracy and uniformity in their time-keeping 
qualities, which by the old method of manufacture are 
unattainable. A smoothness and certainty of movement 
arc secured which proceed from the perfect adaptation of 
every piece to its place. The extent of the Walt ham 
e-tablishment,the combination of skilled labor, with ma- 
chinery perfect and ample, enables them to offer watches 
at lower rates than any other manufacturers. Their 
annual manufacture is said to be double that of all other 
makers in this country combined, and much larger than 
the entire manufacture of England. The mechanical im- 
provements and valuable, inventions of the last fifteen 
years, whether home or foreign in their origin, have been 
brought to their aid, and the presence of over 400, I 
Waltham Watches in the pockets of the people is the 
best proof of the -public approval. All of the largo num- 
ber of these watches which were given as premiums last 
year gavecntire satisfaction. We have again arranged 
withthisCompunytomake forns a Silver watch, jewelled, 
with chronometer balance, warranted by them as made 
of the best materials in the best manner, and in pure coin- 
silver '-hunting" ca-o : weight 3 oz. This watch we 
offer as one of our Premiums, "with the fullc t confidence. 
Upon the movement of each of these watches will be 
engraved, "American Agriculturist. Made by the 
American Watch Co., Waltham, OTsiss." 
Wo. 66. — ISrcech-loadingr Pocket 
Rifle*— This remarkable little fire-arm" weighs only 
eleven ounces, yet shoots with great accuracy and 
power from 30 to 100 yards, or more, and can be loaded 
and fired five times a minute. It can be carried in a side 
pocket, and is accompanied by an extension breech, 
so that it may be used cither as a pistol or rifle. It is 
put up in a neat mahogany case, with -250 rounds o/ am- 
munition. The manufacturers arc Messrs, J". Stevens 
& Co., Chicopee Falls, Ma*s., and the rifles arc 
sold at retail by Messrs. Cooper, Harris & 
Hodgkins, No. 177 Broadway. This Premium 
gave great satisfaction last season, ^^y"" Withont the 
mahogany case, we will give the weapon, all complete, 
with 100 cartridges, packed in a pasteboard box, on 
receipt of IS subscribers, at $1.50 each. For a full 
description of this beautiful implement, with illustra- 
tions, see Am. Agriculturist for Jan. 1S69, page 32. 
Hfo. 8A. — <'raia<laBl*«s Improved 
jBuildinir. Blocks furnish a most attractive amuse- 
ment for children. They are very simple in construction, 
will stand years of children's handling without breaking, 
ami 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 nnequaled. The 
Blocks are put up in neat hoses, accompanied by a 
large hand-bill giving various designs of buildings. This 
is one of the most successful toys ever invented. Twenty- 
five thousand dollars' worth were sold last year by 
Orange Judd <fc Co., Sole Agents. 
^S'o. 85. — Pocket I<nnteriis. — A very 
ingenious and valuable Yankee invention— a complete 
Lantern, large enough to afford light for walking or other 
purposes, yet it can be folded into a parcel :; by I inches 
long, and % of an inch in thickness; it contains 3 little 
sperm candles, matches, etc. Made by the Mcrriam 
Iflaiifg Company (Julius Ives & Co., Agents, 
No. 37 Barclay St., New York). 
f¥os. 88 to 93.— Volumes of the 
American Agriculturist (Unbound). — These 
amount to a large and valuable Library on all matters 
pertaining to the Farm. Garden, a-: ! ITonschold, and con- 
tain more varied informatio., a.\ ... - subjects than can 
be obtained in books costing ■ . cc times as much. The 
price of the volumes is gi.50 ea< h. at the Office, or $1.15 
if sent by mail, as they must be post-paid. They are 
profusely Illustrated, the Engravings used in them having 
alone cost about $35,000. Those obtaining premiums ror 
less than twelve volumes can select auy volumes desired, 
from XVI. to XXVIII. inclusive. For ordinary use, the 
sets of numbers unbound will answer quite well, 
los. OS to 99.— Ronntl Volumes of 
the Agriculturist.— These are the same as Nos, StS 
to 03 above, but. are neatly bound hi uniform stylo, and 
cost us more for binding and postage. Sent post-paid. 
r*os. lOO to 111.— 4Woo<l E,ihraries. 
— In these premiums, we offer a choice of Book* for 
the Farm, Garden, and llouseliold. The per- 
son entitled to anyone of the premiums 100 to til may 
select any books desired from the list of our books publish- 
ed monthly in the American Agriculturist, to the amount 
of the premiums, and the books will be forwarded, Posi i r 
Express paid. $25 or $50 worth of books pertaining to 
the farm will give the boys new ideas, set them to think- 
ing and observing, and thus enable them to m h their 
heads help their hands. Any good book twill, in the 
end, be of far more value to a youth than to have an ex- 
tra acre of land on coming to manhood. The thinking, 
reasoning, observing man, will certainly make more off 
from 40 acres than he would off from 50 acres withoul the 
mental ability which reading will give him. 857° Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts mid- 
get an agricultural Library for general use. 
Ufo. 112.— General ISook Premieim.
