113— -1 Choice of Good Looks {See Terms below). 
C5F" Every Premium article is new and of the very best 
manufacture. Xo charge is made for packing or boxing 
any article in our Premium List. The thirty-nine Premiums, 
Nos. 29 to 33, 56 to 59, 70 to 74, and 88 to 
112 inclusive, -will each be delivered FREE of all charges, 
by mail or express (at the Post-office or express office nearest 
recipient), to any place in the United States or Territories. 
— The other articles cost tfie recipient only the freight after 
leaving the manufactory of each, by any conveyance that may 
be specified. See Description of Premiums in Oct. Number. 
SPECIAL NOTES. 
Read and carefully Note the fol- 
lowing Items : (o) All subscribers sent by one person 
count, though from one or a dozen different Post-offices. 
But — (b) State with each name or list of names sent, 
that it is for a premium (c) Send the names as fast as 
obtained, that the subscribers may begin to receive the 
paper at once. You can have any time, from one to 
four months, to fill up your list (d) Send the exact 
money with each list of names, so that there may be 
no confusion of money accounts (e) Old and new 
subscribers all count in premium clubs, but a portion, 
at least, should be new names; it is partly to got these 
that we offer premiums to canvassers. N.B.— The extra 
copy to clubs of ten or twenty is not given where pre- 
mium articles are called for (/) Specimen Numbers, 
Cards, and Show-bills, will be supplied free as needed by 
canvassers, but they should be used carefully and econom- 
ically, as they are very costly (g) Remit money 
in Checks on New York Banks or Bankers, payable to 
order of Orange Judd & Co., or Bend Post-ofliee Money 
Orders. If neither of them is obtainable, Register 
Money Letters, affixing stamps both for the postage and 
registry ; put in the money and seal the letter In the pres- 
ence of the Postmaster, and take his receipt for it. 
Money sent in any of the above ways is at our risk. 
Description of Premiums. 
Every Premium is described in the October Agricul- 
turist^ and also in a Special Slieet, which will 
be sent free to ever?/ one desiring it. We have room 
here for the following only : 
No. 41— Clothes W ringing machine. 
— A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clothes- 
saving implement, that should be in every family. The 
wringing of clothes 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 elastic 
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 are made by the Metro- 
politan Washing Machine Co., Middlefield, Ct. 
TVo. -14. — Cake Basket. — A new pat- 
tern, canoe shaped, nicely chased and very taking. It is 
double-plated, made by the Lucius Bart Manfg Comp'y. 
No. 45.— Revolving- Butter 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 the 
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, 58, 59— Pocket Knives. 
— now for, the boys and girls 1 — 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 I*. Swain, whose work is equal to any done 
in this country or Europe. No. 56 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. 
No. 64.— A Good. Watch.— The Watches 
made by the American Watch Co., Waltham, 
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 arc 
unattainable. A smoothness and certainty of movement 
are secured which proceed from the perfect adaptation of 
every piece to its place. The extent of the Waltham 
establishment, 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 aud 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 4110.000 
Waltham Watches are in use. All of the large num- 
ber of these watches which were given as premiums last 
year gave entire satisfaction. We have again arranged 
with this Company to make for us a Silver watch, jewelled, 
with chronometer balance, warranted by them as made 
of the best materials in the best maimer, and in pure coin- 
silver "hunting" case; weight 3 oz. This watch we 
offer as one of our Premiums, with the fullest confidence. 
Upon the movement of each of these watches will be 
engraved, '■'American Agriculturist. Made by the 
American Watch Company, Waltham^ Mass." 
No. 66.— BrcM-eh-loaftliBag Pocket 
Rifle.— This remarkable Utile 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 either as a pistol or rifle. It is 
put up in a neat mahogany case, with 250 rounds of am- 
munition. The manufacturers are Messrs. J. Stevens 
cG Co., Chicopee Falls, Mass., and the rifles are sold at 
retail by Cooper, Harris ( llodgkins, Xo. 177 Broadway. 
This Premium gave great satisfaction last season. 
E^° Without 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, sec Am, Agriculturist for 
Jan. 1SG9, page 32. 
No. 84. — Crandsifil's Improved 
Building; Blocks furnish a most attractive amuse- 
ment for children. They are very simple in construction, 
will stand years of children's handling without breaking, 
and 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 firmas tobe carried about. For developing the 
ingenuity and taste of children they are unequaled. The 
Blocks are put tip in neat boxes, 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 <£ Co., Sole Agents. 
No. S5.— Pocket ILasitcrns. — 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 for the vest pocket, into a 
parcel 3 by 4 inches long, and % of an inch in thickness ; 
it contains 3 little sperm caudles, matches, etc. Made by 
the Merriam Manfg Company (Julius Ives & Co., 
Agents, No. 37 Barclay St., New York.) 
Nos. 88 to J>:5.— Voliaines of the 
American Agriculturist (Unbound). — These 
amount to a large and valuable Library on all matters 
pertaining to the Farm, Garden, and Household, and con- 
tain more varied information on these subjects than can 
be obtained in books costing three times as much. The 
price of the volumes is ,$1.50 each, at the Office, or $1.75 
if sent by mail, as they must be post-paid. They arc 
profusely Illustrated, the Engravings used in them having 
alone cost about $35,000. Those obtaining premiums for 
less than twelve volumes can select any volumes desired, 
from XVI. to XXVIII., inclusive. For ordinary use, the 
sets of numbers unbound will answer quite well. 
Nos. 94 to 9&. — BBoiaBial VoEaanacs of 
the A«j'"i<MiJturist.— These are the same as Nos. 88 
to 03 above, but are neatly bound in uniform style, and 
cost us more for binding and postage. Sent post-paid. 
Nos. lOO to llfl. — <hoo«1 H-Ihraries. 
— In these premiums, we offer a, choice of Books for 
the Farm, Garden* and Household. The per- 
son entitled to any one of the premiums 100 to 111 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, Post or 
Express paid. $25 01 - $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 make their 
heads help their hands. Any good book will, 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 49 acres than he would offfrom 50 acres without the 
mental ability which reading will give him. Z^^ Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood uinle their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library for general use. 
No. 113.— General Book SPreaniaaaai. 
Any one sending 25 or more names may select Books 
from our list to the amount of 10 cents for each sub- 
scriber sent at $1 ; or 30 cents for each name sent at 
$1.20 each; or 60 cents for each name at $1.50* TJiis 
offer is only for clubs of 25 or more. The boolcs will 
be sent by mail or express, prepoM through by us.
