Read and carefully Xote the 
following Items: The Table, on page 401, tells the 
name and cash price of each article, and (in last column 
but one), gives the number of names sent in at the regu¬ 
lar price of $1.60 a year that will secure any premium ar¬ 
ticle. (The last column gives the number of names at 
the lowest club price for 20 or more names, that is $ 1.10 
each, hut only a part of the premiums come under this 
head. Some persons quickly raise large clubs by taking 
all the names at $ 1.10 each, and themselves pay the 
difference, 50 cents each, and even thus get the premium 
articles very cheaply.)_(a) All subscribers sent by 
one person count, though from several different Post- 
offices. But ( b ) Tell us with each name or list of 
names sent, that it is for a premium,...(e) Send (he 
names as fast as obtained, that the subscribers may begin 
to receive the paper at once. Any one can have any time 
desired, up to next July, to complete any list, but every 
premium desired will be sent as soon ns earned and or¬ 
dered. .. .(d) Send the exact money with each list of 
names, so that there may he no confusion of money ac¬ 
counts_ (e) Old and new subscribers all count in pre¬ 
mium clubs, hut a portion at least should be new names ; 
it is partly to get these that we offer premiums to canvas¬ 
sers_(/) One or two Specimen Numbers, etc., will be 
supplied free, as needed by canvassers, (when 3 cents per 
copy is furnished to pre-pay postage), hut they are ex¬ 
pensive, and should he used carefully and economical¬ 
ly, and where they will tell. Other specimen numbers 
will be sent, post-paid, to canvassers only, for 10 cents 
each. The price to others is 15 cents ( g ) Remit money 
in Checks on New York Banks or Bankers, payable to 
order of Orange Judd Company, or send Post-office Money 
Orders. If neither of these is obtainable, Register Money 
Letters, affixing stamps both forthe postage and registry; 
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 is at our risk; otherwise it is not.

ONE FOR 
Every Stibscrilfoer 
TO THE 
American Agriculturist, 
We have a very pleasant announcement to make. 
It has been customary of late years for many jour¬ 
nals to annually present their readers with a 
Chromo, and this journal has done its part in 
sending out beautiful pictures that now adorn hun¬ 
dreds of thousands of homes. We have for months 
been looking earnestly for some other Souvenir, 
some Keepsake, to send to our readers, that would 
be not only interesting, but really and eminently 
useful to all, and WE HAVE FOUND IT ! 
After examining many things, it occurred to us 
that one of the most desirable, interesting, and prac¬ 
tically -useful things would be some convenient 
form of the Microscope , if a good one could he had 
within the limits of price, etc. A Microscope is 
really valuable to Farmers —to detect, distinguish, 
and aid in remedying diseases on plants and animals , 
whether from insects, decay, or smut , mildew, lice, scab, 
etc. ; to detect adulteration in seeds, and their degree of 
goodness or badness, the proportion of fertile and infer¬ 
tile seed ; also adulteration in fertilizers, ground bone, 
etc. ; to examine wounds and bruises, extract slivers 
from the hands, etc., etc. The Microscope is equally 
useful to <■ a Florists, Fmit-growers,etc., 
for most of the above purposes and for many others. 
To All Cljisses, the Microscope is useful to de¬ 
tect adulterations in food, as in coffee, tea, spices, sugar, 
and to examine the texture and defects of many articles. 
As a source of Instructive Amusement, 
the Microscope is exceedingly valuable to Children, 
to Youi!"' I*eople, and to grown people. 
Impressed with the value and desirableness of an 
instrument which would accomplish the above, we 
set about examining the various low-priced Micro¬ 
scopes and magnifying glasses to be found here, 
or imported. Two difficulties were met with. 
First, the cheap instruments found, were all of poor 
quality, and lacking some facilities in working; and, 
second, anything having the perfection of lens and 
other parts which we could commend, would cost 
far too much to be introduced into every family. 
We found no microscope costing less than $2.75 
having the principal requisites of one we desired 
to find—such as triple lenses, stand, adjustability 
to use reflected and transmitted light, etc., etc. 
Next, the query came up: Is it not possible, by means of 
improved machinery for grinding lenses, and for mak¬ 
ing each part, and by doing this on a very large scale, 
to get the desired Microscope at such an exceedingly low 
cost that every one of our readers could have one? 
To this end, we entered into consultation with the
