Any one of* the above Sums can be 
Easily obtained— l>y Men, Women, 
and Children even, by tlte judicious 
use of Odd Spells, such as evenings, 
rainy days, etc., during' APRIL., or 
during APRIL and MAY, or during' 
APRIL, MAY, and JUNE. 
The above may, at first sight, appear a little sen- 
sational, but it is only a statement of what has 
been done by many thousands of persons 
all over the country ; and what has beeu done 
by these thousands, can be done by other thousands 
just as well. It only needs the desire to do it, 
and the WILL to do it, and it will be done. 
1st— There are now about ■40,000,000 people 
in this country, nearly all within reach of the 
28,000 Post-offices. The most of these people 
are pushing aloug, seeking to better their condi- 
tion. Their success depends npon two things, 
viz. : Steady, hard work, with body or mind, and 
knowledge enough to turn their work to the best 
account. One drudges along and fails of success, 
because he does not know how to work to the best 
advantage ; another works less, and yet succeeds 
better, because his knowledge directs and aids his 
physical or mental labor. 
ad— It is a benefit to the former class to add to 
his or her knowledge by every possible means. 
3d— Two Journals, viz., the American Agricul- 
turist (monthly) and Hearth and Borne (weekly) are 
prepared by those who make it their earnest busi- 
ness to gather all possible reliable information 
about the best methods of doing work, and of turn- 
ing that work to the best possible advantage. These 
persons talk and write from large experience 
as workers, and from extensive observation, and 
from an immense amount of correspondence from 
practical men and women all over the country. 
£,th—It is impossible for any person, whatever his 
calling, to read the condensed information tRus given in 
these journals without getting thoughts and hints that 
will directly or indirectly increase the value of his oi- 
lier work many times more than the cost of the papers. 
The first one costs less than half a cent a day, and the 
second one less than one cent a day, and the two toge- 
ther less than \}i cents a day— sums easily saved. 
5th — It only needs some one to show the 
people these papers, point out their useful- 
ness, aud receive and forward their sub- 
scriptions. 
6th— Out of 40,000,000 people, there is 
at least one in every forty, or a million 
in all, who could take one or both of 
these journals with profit, whereas there 
are only about 200,000 that now take 
them, or one in every two hundred. 
Vth — We offer fine Premiums, as good as 
cash, (see next column,) to those persons 
who will take the trouble to show the 
papers and collect aud forward the sub- 
scriptions. It can be done at odd spells, 
without interfering with other work, 
and premiums all the way from $5 to 
$6:25 can thus be secured without cost. 
8th— This has been done at 11,000 Post- 
offices by about 12,500 persons, with people 
enough left at these offices to make up 
twice as many premium clubs. There are 
17,500 other Post-offices where no pre- 
mium clubs have been raised, simply be- 
cause no one has taken hold of the work. 
9th and Itith — READER, you 
can do it, this mouth of APRIL. It is 
a good time; spring work is opening 
and people are wanting help and informa- 
tion, aud they can get it from these 
journals. You can secure one or more of 
the excellent premiums. You can do it 
this month, and, if you wish, have May 
and June to swell your club up to a larger 
premium. XRY IX. 
igp See Explanatory Notes. 
Note. — Many persona canvass all the time as 
a business, sell tho premiums received, and thus 
clear large wages. One Lady actually thus earns 
over $3,000 a year, and multitudes in this way 
secure salaries of $300 to $1,500 a year. 
Explanatory Notes. 
Read and carefully .Vote 
the following Items: (ft) All subscribers 
sent by one person count, though from one or a 
dozen different Post-offices. But (,*) Tell us 
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 three months, to fill up your 
list — (tf^Send the exact money with each 
list of names, so that there may be no con- 
fusion of money accounts (e) Old aud new 
subscribers all count in premium clubs, but a 
portion, at least, should be new names; it is 
partly to get these that we offer premiums to 
canvassers (/) Specimen Numbers, Cards, 
and Show-bills will be supplied free as 
needed by canvassers, but they should be used 
carefully and economically, as they are very 
costly (g) Remit money in Checks on New- 
York Banks or Bankers, payable to order of 
Orange Judd & Co., or send Post-office Money 
Orders. If neither of these is obtainable, 
Register Money Letters, affixing stamps both 
for the postage and registry ; put in the money 
and seal the letter in the presence of the Post- 
master, and take his receipt for it. Money 
sent in any of the above ways is at our risk. 
[In the following table is given the price of each article, and the 
number of subscribers required to get it free, at the regular rates, $1.50 
aud $3.00 a year, for the two papers ; also at the club rates of $1 and $2.50.] 
N. B.— In all Premium Clubs for either paper, TWO copies of 
American Agriculturist at $l.r J each, and OKE copy of Hearth and 
Home at £3.00, will count exactly the same. So also two coiiies of 
American Agriculturist at $1 each, and one copy of Hearth and 
Home at $3.50, will count exactly the same. In this way Premium, 
Clubs can be made vp from the light-hand, or from the left-hand 
columns below, or partly of both, only excepting Premium 2\o. 39.
