" Published 
TO DO GOOD 
and 
MAKE MONEY," 
was tbe motto upon the title-page of our old friend, 
Beckwitk's Almanac, and that has always seemed 
to us to be the highest style of business. It is a 
real pleasure to publish and sell papers, books, etc., 
when both these onds can be accomplished, and 
we do not mean to do any business that will not 
aim at both these objects. And we believe that 
AH 
WHO EMBBACE THE 
OFFEBS OJST THIS PAGE 
will 
Do Good and Make Money. 
That the American Agriculturist is doing good 
wherever it goes, is testified to by hundreds of 
thousands who have tried it. That every one, who 
persuades another person to read it and have his 
family read it, will do a good work, we feel quite 
sure. It is impossible for any one to read the hun- 
dreds of carefully prepared pages given in each 
Volume, and not gain useful hints, and be saved 
from deception or costly errors. The Engravings 
alone afford instruction, cultivate taste, and in- 
spire good thoughts. So, then, every one can do 
good by extending the circulation of this Journal. 
But 
-we PAY those who taltctime to col- 
lect and forward subscriptions, 
and Mast Thousands of persons have expressed 
themselves as greatly gratified with the pay 
alone. Indeed, many are constantly canvassing as 
a business, and are doing first-rate. (Some Ladies, 
each got from §500 to §3,000 last year, by canvass- 
ing for the Premiums, and selling them for cash.) 
We supply the paper at less than it costs to make 
it, but the great circulation secures a large adver- 
tising patronage, and so we have a profit, and a 
margin to expend in Premiums for those who pro- 
cure subscribers. And by tbe plan we adopt, we can 
afford pretty large pay. The subscription price 
is so small compared with the cost, that it would 
not pay agents to travel, even if we gave them 
a quarter or third of all they got. But we select a 
large number of good and useful articles, such as are 
wanted generally, and then by large wholesale pur- 
chases for cash, and by the favor of manufacturers 
who are pleased to have their articles prominently 
placed before the public, and also by favorable ad- 
vertising arrangements, we offer much larger pay, 
than if cash were given, while the articles arc 
really worth fully the regular cash price. (In every 
case we print just the selling cash price against 
each article.) Many canvassers for subscribers re- 
ceive the premiums, and sell them for the full cash 
price, and thus realize large pay for their time. 
The Table in the next column shows just 
how many subscribers, sent iu by any person, will 
secure any premium. The names can be sent, one 
or more at a time, from now to June. {Any pre- 
mium will be given as soon as ?iames enough arc sent 
in.) One column gives the number to be sent at 
the regular price (§1.50 a year), and the other 
how many at the lowest club rate for 20 (§1 each). 
Nearly 10,000 Persons have heretofore 
made up Premium Clubs, and received these arti- 
cles, aud while most of them have acknowledged 
their receipt, and expressed their great gratifica- 
tion, we have' never heard of half a dozen com- 
plaints, and these were from some misunderstand- 
ing or misconception, usually very soon rectified. 
In Every JSTcighborJipod, 
At Every Post-Office 
In The United States, 
In British America, 
In Tlie Sandwich Islands, 
In Far Off Australia, 
And Elseivhere, 
Premium Clubs can be readily made vphy any 
person having a little enterprise. (Many clubs, 
sometimes numbering 100 and vjneard, come 
from British America, Australia, Africa, etc.) 
' READER, You can Easily get » 
• one of these desirable Premiums. * 
Look over the list and the descriptions following, 
select the Premium you most need, take a copy of 
the paper and show it, and you will soon have the 
list and receive the Premium free. IT CAN BE 
DONE WELL THIS MONTH, for subscribers sent 
now, get the paper the rest of 1S70 free, which will 
help canvassers who begin at once. TRY IT. 
Read and carefully Note the fol- 
lowing I terns : (a) All subscribers sent by one person 
count, though from one or a dozen different Post-offlces. 
But (&) 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 
six 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 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 and econom- 
ically, as they arc very costly (g) Eemit 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 at our risk.
