Tha Publishers of American Agricul- 
turist and Hearth and Home take pleas- 
ure in presenting their new general 
Premium List for 1874. The Premiums 
which they have offered in past years 
have engaged the attention of a very 
large number of persons of all ages and 
both sexes. Many thousands have se- 
cured Premiums, and very many of these, 
who at first had small hopes of success, 
have been themselves astonished at the 
ease with which they have raised large 
elubs and secured valuable Premiums. 
Here is pleasant and profitable work 
for all. 
Boys and Girls, 
Young Men and Maidens, 
Middle-aged Men and Women, 
Farmers, 
Mechanics 
Merchants, 
Professional Men, 
Anybody, 
Anywhere 
who wishes to do good and make 
money, can do both by going to 
work as here invited by the publishers 
of these two most valuable journals, 
American Agriculturist and Hearth 
and Home. You need only to show 
specimens of the papers, promise the 
beautiful Chromos, which are now ready 
for delivery, according to the publishers' 
offer, and forward your subscriptions. 
There is no danger of failure in the enterprise if 
you go into it with spirit. You may succeed in 
raising a dull much larger than 
you had at first calculated upon ; 
and even should you secure fewer 
subscribers than at first hoped for, 
the Premiums are so many and so 
various that you could not fail to 
be suited with some good thing 
on the list. 
Persons of nil classes have 
engaged successfully in yie work, 
and very many have materially 
increased their income, 
and that too without encroaching 
upon their ordinary working hours 
and with but little trouble 
to themselves. The articles 
offered as Premiums are worth 
the regular price which is set 
against them. They are new 
and good. They have almost 
universally pleased and satisfied 
the recipient. You can obtain 
one or more of them. 
IS- TRY IT. _gj 
The American Agriculturist is 
everywhere known and approved. 
Hearth and Home issued every 
week, with the Best Original Sto- 
ries, contributions on Live Topics, 
a capital Household Department, 
and a most interesting Department 
for Children and Youth, should 
be in every home in America. The 
paper* are entirely different. Taken 
together, they supply more good 
reading than cau be found in fifty 
books costing one Dollar each. 
Premium Clubs can be made up 
of subscribers to either paper, or 
partly of one and partly of the 
other, as noted over the Table. 
We call especial attention 
to the last column of figures, 
showing the small number of 
names required where both 
papers are taken, at the re- 
duced price of $4 a year. 
Yon, Reader, can #fet

Explanatory Notes. 
Read and carefully 
Note the following Items: 
(a) All subscribers sent by one person 
count, though from one or a dozen 
different Post-offices. But.... (6) Tell 
ns 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 re- 
ceive the paper at once. You can have 
any time, from now until July 1st, to 
fill up your list (d) Send the exact 
money with each list of names, so that 
there may he no confusion of money 
accounts (e) Old and new sub- 
scribers 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, etc., will 
be supplied free as needed by 
canvassers, but they should be used 
carefully and economically, and where 
they will tell (g) Remit money in 
Checks on New York Banks or Bank- 
ers, payable to order of Orange Judd 
Company, or send Post-office Money 
Orders. If neither of these is obtain- 
able, Register Money Letters, affixing 
stamps both for the postage and re- 
gistry; 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 
I Is at our risk; otherwise it is not. 
Liu the following table is given the price of each article, and the number og 
subscribers required to get it free, at the regular rates, f 1.50 a year for American 
Agriculturist, and $3.00 a year for Hearth and Home ; also at theclub rates ef $1 and 
f&5Q; also at the rates of $4 a year for both papers together.] SW Descrip- 
tions of Premiums on. next page. 
N. B.— In all Premium Clubs for either paper, TWO copies of American, 
Agriculturist (English or German) at $1.50 each, and ONE copy of Hearth and 
Home at $3.00, will count exactly the same. So also two copies of American 
Agriculturist at $1 each, and one copy of Hearth and Home at $'2.50, will 
count exactly the same. In this way Premium Clubs can be made vj) from the 
*Zd and 4.th columns, or from the $d and 5th, or wholly from the Hth column.
