"Well, all these good articles are offered in our Premium 
List to any and all persons who make up clubs of sub- 
scribers to the Agriculturist, according to the table in the 
next column. Thousands of persons have already re- 
ceived from one to half a dozen of these premiums, and 
in most cases by only a few evenings in canvassing. 
Frequent cases are reported to us where premium can- 
vassers have cleared from $10 to $30 a day. by earning the 
premiums and selling them. — There are in our country 
more than five million fa mili es and single persons, who 
ought to have the Agriculturist, and who would be greatly 
benefited by reading it. A good many such persons live 
in your neighborhood. It only needs yon or some other 
enterprising person to call upon them, show a copy 
of the paper and ask them to join a crab. There is 
plenty of time to do this — five months if you desire. In 
more than two thousand places such clubs have already 
been made up, but there are more than 20,000 other 
Post-offices in the United States and British America, 
where clubs can just as easily be raised, and the premiums 
secured without expense. Human nature, and the people 
are about the same everywhere : it only needs the same 
enterprising person in each town to get up the desired 
club. Who will do it in your town. Can not you do it ? 
Try it. If yon chance to fail iu getting a large club this 
year, even a few subscribers will open the way for many 
more next year, aud every subscriber you get will help 
develop taste, good culture, and increased comfort and 
interest in the Household. Try it Oris month. 
Men and Women of various occupations, 
Farmers, Gardeners, Post-masters, Mer- 
chants, Mechanics, Clergymen, Teachers, 
Soldiers, Boys, Girls, etc., can engage in the 
w»rk of soliciting subscribers and secure good pay for it, 
in the excellent aud desirable premimn articles. 
Any person so disposed can make up a premium list — 
the offers are open to all. It is a pleasant work. Any 
one who persuades a dozen, or- twenty, or more of his 
neighbors to read about their business, does mncb to im- 
prove aud elevate the character of the people, and to bring 
increased value to his own homestead, aud to every other 
homestead around him. 
One premiums are all really valuable articles, sucn as 
we can cheerfully recommend to our friends. By whole- 
sale purchases, by advertising arrangements, etc., we are 
able to supply them as premiums on far better terms than 
we could sell them, and we thus pay our canvassers much 
more than we cotdd possibly do in cash. 
We invite every reader who lives where, no one is al- 
ready actively engaged iu raising a premium club, to take 
hold iu these leisure winter days, and secure such a club. 
We often receive several different premium clubs from the 
same Post-OrHce The last column in the table shows 
how many subscribers are required when they are sent 
at the lowest club price of $1 a year for 20 or more. The 
next column shows the number required at the regular 
price of $1.50 a year. (See notes following the table.) 
Our premiums are standard articles, and enough 
can be obtained to supply all calls for premiums for six 
months. Every canvasser can take abundant time, but 
As fast as subscriptions are obtained, send them 
along, that the subscribers may begin to receive the 
paper; and when all the names that can be obtained are 
forwarded, select the premium, and it will be promptly 
furnished. To save mistakes and keeping accounts, send 
with each list of names, the exact subscription money. 
Remit iu Post Office money orders, drafts or checks on 
N. V. City; if these can not be had. register money letters. 
E^f* livery name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked when sent iu. (We can not count others. 1 
Old and new subscribers count in premium lists, 
but a part should be new names, for it is to obtain 
such that the premiums are in part offered. Papers to Pre- 
mium clubs need not alt go to one Post OJtre.
