AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[November, 
No. 99. — Dog dollar.— Combination slip 
and straight Collar, made of heavy bridle leather, with 
aickle-plated buckle, I>'s, and name plate. Impossible 
for dogs to slip this collar, as it tightens with pulling, and 
No. 109.— An Excellent Watch.— 
(Offer limited to iSupjiy.) This remarkably good watch 
is a Stem-Winder, and Stem-Setter, needs no 
key, and no opening to admit dust or dampness. A dozen 
of them have been carried for weeks and months by Edi¬ 
tors and employees in the American Agriculturist Office, 
with great, satisfaction. The dial is clear, with second¬ 
hand, is covered with strong, flat crystal with the new 
beveled edges. The case is strong, good-looking, heavily 
plated witli nickel, which is not easily distinguished from 
silver, while it is harder, and not tarnished like silver by 
gases or sulphur vapors from the skin. For looks and 
beer, etc.) Sis boys worked sullenly by day, and “ sky¬ 
larked” at night; they despised and hated their work, 
which for them was only exercising brute force, with little 
mind applied. When old enough to escape parental re¬ 
straint, they quit the farm, one for this, and another for 
that, and none of them have ever amounted to any thing. 
He is himself a sullen, dispirited man. Six dollars a year, 
or even $2 a year,would have made a wonderful difference 
—would have changed their whole course of life. Would 
it have paid? —Reader, choose the better way. Get 
your neighbors to join you. and secure some books for the

makers as No. 9T. Three subscriptions, at $1.50 each, 
will secure this free and sent pre-paid. 
No. 109.—The Great Dictionary.— 
Worcester’s Large Pictorial Unabridged Edition. 
containing 185-1 three-column pages, with a 
multitude of illustrative engravings. (The work is a 
large quarto volume.) Most of the thoroughly educated 
men of the country consider this as by far the best Dic¬ 
tionary in the English Language. It gives the spelling 
and pronunciation of every word in the language with 
full explanations, and as a source of general information 
stands next to a Cyclopaedia. The Dictionary can be 
called for at our office, or be sent anywhere by express 
or otherwise. It should be in every family. Let a mul¬ 
titude of Boys, and Young Men, each get 15 subscribers, 
at $1.50 each, and each secure this invaluable work. A 
great many have done so in the past. It is worth trying for 
all winter; but you can get subscribers enough this month 
to obtain it free. It is published by Messrs. J. B. Lippin- 
cott & Co., Philadelphia.—[We will supply one of these 
Dictionaries for $10.00.] Receiver to pay expressage.
