PREMIUMS! 
Accessible To 
EVERYBODY!!! 
We have prepared two most excellent and valuable 
Animals, viz. the Agricultural Annual No. 1, 
and the Horticultural Annual No, t. Though 
of large size, and costly, they are sold at only 50 Cents 
each, and many thousands have heen disposed of al- 
ready. They are designed for general use, and one or 
hoth of them should be found in every Family in America. 
But they were originated and executed too late to be 
ready at the beginning of the year, and so they did not 
get so large a general distribution as they really merit. 
We design to make these Annuals a " permanent insti- 
tution," that is, to issue both of them at the beginning of 
every year, and we have begun the preparation of material 
that will make the next numbers (for 1S68), much superior 
even to the valuable volumes of this year. 
Now we want everybody to get the first number, so as 
to have the series complete from the beginning, for we 
know everybody will want the future numbers. There- 
fore, we make the following offer : To every person who 
shall, after May 1st, send us a subscriber to the Agri- 
culturist for this year, at the regular rate ($1.50), we will 
present and send post-paid, either a copy of the No. 1 
Agricultural Annual or of No. 1 Horticultural Annual, 
whichever is desired, (if applied for at the time of sub- 
scribing.) They are each in neat ornamental covers, 
beautiful inside and outside, and full of valuable in- 
formation, including a full almanac, calendar of oper- 
ations for each month, all finely illustrated, and contain 
many useful articles and suggestions. 
Each present subscriber., not already supplied, can thus 
get one or both of these annuals free of expense, simply 
' by procuring and forwarding one or two subscribers— (If 
the new subscriber thus obtained wants one of the an- 
nuals, ho can get it for himself by furnishing another 
subscriber, and so on.) We shall keep the Annuals on 
the press until June 30, and print all that may be called for 
under this offer. This extra premium is entirely distinct 
from our regular premiums offered on this page.

yet remain for all to secure the general premiums otter- 
ed in the table in another column. There arc many good 
things, and thousands can still get them. " Where there 
is a will, there is a way.'.' A subscriber writes: "I sort 
p' half tried to get up a premium club in January, but not 
succeeding so well at flrst as I thought I ought to, I gave 
at up, and only sent a few names obtained. But April 1st, 
on seeing that many others were successful, I started out 
again, determined to succeed any way, and get cither a 
Sewing Machine, or a Gold Pen at least. The first man 
J asked said ' No V but I opened the four numbers, and 
/howed him (ho 140 engravings, pointed opt .the many 
articles on farming and gardening, the prize articles in 
the household, the talks with the children, the hundreds 
of condensed 'meaty 1 Basket items, the Calendar of 
Work to be done, given in each number, and then dwelt 
on the humbug exposures, reading him a few extracts. I 
then told him, there would be three times as much during 
the year, and I did not know how much more, as the 
Editors were constantly bringing out somethiug new. I 
argued the advantages of keeping up with the times, the 
improved taste, which the beautiful engravings would 
give to himself and family — told him how many hundreds 
of dollars I had got from a single hint the Agriculturist 
gave me four years ago, etc., etc. He seemed interested, 
but answered that ' he could not afford it. 1 I told him I 
was sure he would be richer a year hence, though he might 
not see it now. I explained that though it was $1.50 a 
year, this was less than half a cent for each working day, 
and his working hours would be so much happier with 
more to think about. He finally came down, and sub- 
scribed, partly to get rid of me or to oblige me. Thus 
successful, I kept on every evening, and on two rainy 
days. I gained confidence and experience, and where you 
had only five subscribers, and where everybody said ' no ' 
last January, I have now got more than subscribers enough 
for both Sewing Machine and Gold Pen ! The time taken 
from my work has been slight, and I have learned not a 
little of business tact. Indeed I have been thus paid for my 
time and effort, aside from the premiums. Just tell my 
experience to others, (omitting my name), and encourage 
them to go and do likewise. They will like it ; it will 
pay them in a double way ; it will benefit the people they 
persuade to read, and it will help extend the benign influ- 
ence that the good old Agriculturist is exerting in the 
country Keep up your war npon the humbugs; onr 
Postmaster says, you have saved the people of this place 
many hundreds of dollars — " 
We commend the above example to others. The ex- 
perience of our friend is that of very many. There is not 
one of the twenty thousand towns in our country, where 
a like determined effort would not be similarly success- 
ful. Human nature is the same everywhere May is as 
favorable a month as any other in the year for securing 
subscribers. The work of scattering the paper among 
those who do not now read, is a good one, aside from the 
premiums, and we could appeal to the reader to work 
" for the good of the cause ;" but we gladly pay for the 
work. The premiums offered are good and desirable, and 
we like to send them. Let us have the pleasure of send- 
ing hundreds or thousands of them this month. Will you 
have one of them ? 
If so, look over our premium list, choose the 
premium you would like, take a copy of the paper, sally 
out among neighbors and friends, in your own neigh- 
borhood and elsewhere (for premium clubs need not be 
all at one post-office), and in a brief time the desired num- 
ber of subscribers can be gathered, and the premium 
secured. A furl description of the premiums will be scut 
free to any one desiring it. Any Specimen numbers, 
cards and show bills needed, will be supplied free. 
B^ 3 Wo take so much pains to procure only good 
articles in all cases, that any one securing anything from 
our premium list, saves the risk usually run of getting 
poor or indifferent goods, when haying of unknown or 
irresponsible parlies. Every thing we send out as a 
premium is guaranteed to he the best of its kind and price. 
Old and new subscribers count in premium lists. 
Our premiums arc standard articles, and enough 
can he obtained to supply all calls for premiums for six 
months. Every canvasser can take abundant time, but 
As fast as subscriptions are obtained, send tliem 
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 
Willi each list of names, the exact subscription money . 
Remit in Post-Office money orders, drafts or checks on 
N. V. City ; if these can not he had, register money letters. 
£"aP" Every name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked when sent in. (We can not count others.)
