Oranor Judd Company, Publishers, 245 Broadway, N. Y. 
Annual Subscription Terms (always in advance): 
»1.50 each for single copies: Four copies, $1.25 each: 
These rates include Postage, in each case, which is pre-paid 
by the Publishers. The papers are addressed to eacli name. 
Good Things Free 
For Our Friends! 
For Men, for Women, for Chil¬ 
dren—of All Occupations! 
Large Pay for Little Work. 
The following pages describe a variety 
of Pleasant, Useful, and Desirable Arti¬ 
cles, which the Publishers of the Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist will Present (free) to 
any friends who render a little assistance 
by collecting and forwarding few or 
many names of new and old subscribers. 
There is not a Man, Woman, or 
Child, anywhere, in all the Country, who 
reads this, who can not easily get two 
or more others to join him or her in tak¬ 
ing the Paper, and thus secure FREE 
one, or more than one, of the desirable 
Articles described in the following pages. 
igpTens of Thousands of people have secured 
premium articles in this way. With lower subscription 
rates this year, and fewer names required to get the same 
article, hundreds of thousands may now obtain them. 
YOU may get one or more of them. Everybody 
wants a paper like the American Agriculturist , and will 
take it if it is shown and explained to them—its beauty, 
its value, its instructive character, its engravings, etc. 
IX. 15 ,—Every article described in the following 
pages is new, iirst-class, and warrant¬ 
ed to be just what it is described to be. Every article 
sent out will be new from the factory , of the latest and 
best manufacture.—No belter can be obtained any¬ 
where. Every article is put down at its regular cash 
price, and is just as valuable as so much i'asli, for 
Use, for Sale, or for a PRESENT to a friend. 
[Many New Things are added to this year’s list, 
while those most called for last year, are retained, so 
that others also may have an opportunity to get them.] 
Better Terms Than Ever Before.— While 
the subscription terms are lower, fewer names are re¬ 
quired to get the same premium. Thus, for ex¬ 
ample, last year , to get the $5.50 premium (No. 8), re¬ 
quired 13 subscriptions at $1.60 ($20.80); this year, only 9 
subscriptions at $1.50 ($13.50), are needed. Similar reduc¬ 
tions are made in other articles. (This results from the 
lower cost of printing paper, all the benefit of which we 
give to our premium takers). Any one can well afford, 
if necessary, to gather names at the club rates, and him¬ 
self add the small difference, where there is any, between 
the elub rate and the premium rate. All the premiums 
are warranted by vs to be as represented, and they are 
therefore even more valuable than if bought at ordinary sale. 
EXTRA PAPERS Free TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS. 
BEGIN NOW.— To avoid the rush near the last of 
the year, the Publishers will begin nxnv to receive and 
enter names for 1879. As fast as new names come in on 
premium lists for 1879, they will be entered and receive 
any further numbers issued this year without extra 
charge. New names on premium lists, received before 
Nov. 15, will get the paper for November and December, 
free ; and those coming between Nov. 15, and Dec. 10, 
will get the paper for Dec., free. So send along the 
names at once, receive credit for them on the Premium 
Book, and call for the premium whenever you desire. 
This offer of extra numbers of the Paper to new 
subsci'ibers will induce many to subscribe at once. 
it********************************* 
If the Reader only kneiv the good quality 
and real value of these Premium Articles , and 
hoiv easy it is to show the American Agiicidturist to 
some friends and neighbors , tell them its value, 
and ask them to try it a year, and thus gather a 
feu) subscribers, and himself receive the premiums, 
he would take bold of It at once. 
*** There are from 25 to 500 families, or more, 
in the vicinity of each Post Office, every one of 
whom would be benefited by having this Journal 
for a year, at a cost, postage included, of 3 cents 
a week. From one to a dozen premium clubs, 
small or large, may be gathered in the vicinity of 
each Post Office, and as many premiums be ob¬ 
tained. YOU may get one or more of them. 
********************************* 5 }: 
A GENERAL PREMIUM.— A free copy to 
Sender of a Club of 20 Subscribers, at $1 each, without 
other Premiums. ZsN Instead of extra copy, any one 
sending 20 or more subscribers at $1.00 each may select 
any premium offered in this Sheet, to the amount of 10 
cents for every subscriber sent by him or her. Thus, any 
one sending 30 subscribers at $1 each, may select any 
$3 premium, or any two of which the price amounts to 
$3. And so of any other premium, or List above 20. 
GOOD BUSINESS OPENING _While most 
persons only collect Premium Clubs among friends and 
neighbors, at odd hours, evenings, or rainy days, many do 
it as a regular business for several months each year— 
collecting names, receiving the premiums and selling 
them. (They are all good, and soil readily.) They thus 
realize an income of from $100 to $1,000—sometimes more. 
Explanatory Notes. 
Read and Carefully Note tlie 
following Items: The Table on this page 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 $1.50 a year that will secure any premium ar¬ 
ticle. (The last column gives the number of names at 
the lowest club price for four names, that is $1.25 
each. Some persons quickly raise large clubs by taking 
all the names at $1.25 each, or less, and themselves 
pay the difference, 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 the 
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 June, to complete any list, hut every 
premium desired will he sent as soon as 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, but a portion at least should he new names ; 
it is partly to get these that we offer premiums to canvas¬ 
sers_ (f) One or two Specimen Numbers, etc., will he 
supplied free, as needed by canvassers, (when 3 cents per 
copy is furnished to pay for mailing), hut extra numbers 
are expensive, and should he used carefully and economi¬ 
cally, and where they will tell. Other specimen numbers 
will he 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 for the 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 will be safe against loss.
