TWENTY-SIX DAYS. 
26 26 
Twenty-six "Working Days will close the first half 
of 1870, and on Thursday, June 30th, we propose to 
withdraw our general offer of Premiums for this volume. 
The above announcement is of special interest to 
two classes which embrace all oun Readers. 
THE FIRST CLASS, includes all those who have he- 
gun to make up lists of Subscribers to secure our Premi- 
anis. In almost every case a little vigorous effort, during 
the next 26 days, will fill up the list, or at least make it 
large enough to secure some one of the Premiums. For 
example, suppose one has been trying to get a Sewing 
Machine, and has sent more or less names for that premi- 
um. If enough names have not, and can not, be obtained 
for that, the names may apply on a list for a smaller pre- 
mium. So we say, in all cases, get every subscriber pos- 
sible this month, and then choose such a premium as the 
list actually obtained will call for. We are anxious to have 
every one rewarded for all he or she has accomplislied, 
whether it will be for our profit or not. N. B.— A 
great deal may be done during June in the way of getting 
subscribers, as noted below. 
J^- THE SECOND CLASS takes in Every ouc of 
pW our Readers not included in the first class 
E5?" above. In the next column, is a table of first-rate 
B3?~ articles, offered to all those who secure the required 
£^~ number of subscribers, as noted against each arti- 
st" cle, AND many hundreds, yes many Thousands, 
5^* (you among the number) may easily collect names 
55?" of subscribers enough during June, to secure the 
%%j~free reception of one or more of these valuable pre- 
{ST* miums. During every month of June, for many 
VST" years past, a great number of persons have begun 
1ST and completed just euch lists, and obtained valua- 
53?"* blc premiums. Suppose- you try it this month. 
5^* One, two, or three subscribers a day, or evening, 
53?~ during the next 2G days, will procure a large prc- 
f^~ inlum. One subscriber only for every two, three, 
52E^~ or four days or evenings, will sccuru a very good ar- 
E27" tide. Run through the list and sec what is offered. 
Two " Remarks." 
£5" 1st.— Two subscribers for the remaining half of this 
f*T"yoar will count. In a premium list the same as one 
t£?~ subscriber for the whole year. 
$%?* 2nd.— Persons too distant to respond before July 
53T" 1st, may have sufficient time to do it after that date. 
^ Now Then, who will take Premiums this 
tiP" month? Everybody can find subscribers enough Cofft t 
S3F~ at least a small but valuable premium/ 
[In the following table is given the price of eacii arti- 
cle, andthe number of subscribers required to get it free, at 
$1.50 a year, or at the lowest club rate of $1 a year. For full 
descriptions of the articles scud for our Special Sheet.]

SPECIAL i^OTES. 
Read and carefully Wote the fol- 
lo wing Items : (a) All subscribers sent by one person 
count, though coming from a dozen different Post-offices. 
But — (b) state with each, name cr 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 all tbe present month, 
20 working days, 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 get 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 arc called for (/) Specimen Numbers, 
Cards, and Show-bills, will be supplied free, as needed by 
canvassers, but they should be used carefully andeconom. 
ically, as they are very costly (ef) 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 pres- 
ence of the Postmaster, and take his receipt for it, 
Money sent in any of the above ways is ftt our risk, 
description of Premiums. 
Evenj Pi'emium is described in the October AgricuU 
turist) and also in a Special Sheet, which will 
be sent free to every one desiring it. We have room 
here for tlm following only; 
IVo. -40.— Washing: Machines.— For a 
long time we have annually tried many new "Washing 
Machines, and "Doty's Paragon," which we have now 
used nearly five years, is the only one the "help" will 
use voluntarily. Send for full Descriptive Circulars to 
R. C. Browing, 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y., 
or to Metropolitan Washing ITIacliinc Co., 
Middlefield, Conn. It goes cheaply by freight or express. 
^fo.41 — Clothes Wringing - Machine. 
— A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clothes- 
saving implement, that should be iu 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 clastic 
rollers, which press the water out better than hand wring- 
ing, and as fast as one cau 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., Middlefield, Ct. 
Nos. 56, 57, 5S, 5© — Pocket Knives. 
—now for the boys and GiRLs !— 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 is equal to any dono 
in this country or Europe. No. 56 is a neat, substantial 
Kuifc, 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. 50 is a Ladies' Pocket Knife, a beau- 
tiful article, with four blades and shell handle. 
Nos. O-l to ©!>. — flSomid Volumes of 
tlie Agriculturist.— These are the same as Nos. S3 
to 03 above, but are neatly bound in uniform style, and 
cost us more for binding and postage. Sent post-paid. 
NOS. lOO to 111.— Good I-ihraries. 
—In these pmmums, 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 
published monthly, (see another page), to tbe amount of 
the premiums, and the books will be forwarded. Post or 
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 make their 
heads help their hands. Any good book will, iu the 
end, bo 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 10 acres than he would off from 50 acres without the 
mental ability which reading will give him. g^" Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library for general use.
