PREMIUMS 
1881 . . . . . to June 30, 1882. 
Embracing Hundreds of Good and Most Desirable Articles, Valuable Books, etc., which 
will be PRESENTED to onr Friends, in return for their assistance and influence in 
promoting the interests and circulation of the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
All the articles are warranted good and just as described on the following 23 Pages. 
The Articles may also be purchased by onr Readers wit) confidence, when they find it 
most convenient to obtain them from this Office. 
Bf.SS. —Premiums are not offered as in¬ 
ducements to subscribers themselves; the 
American Agriculturist is abundantly worth 
its small subscription rates to everybody. 
The Premiums arc offered to those who assist 
the Publishers in making this Journal known 
to others, and who oblige both the Publishers 
and the Subscribers themselves, by collecting 
and forwarding subscriptions, both of new 
readers and renewals. 
The articles are as described, and are new 
from the manufactories. The regular price 
of each one is given, and they arc all worth 
their price for Use, for Presents, or for 
Sale to others. (Many securo good salaries 
or income by canvassing, receiving tho Pre¬ 
miums, and selling them for cash). Premium 
Lists of two or moro subscriptions, may in¬ 
clude the sender’s own subscription. Premi¬ 
ums for single subscriptions arc only for nets 
subscriptions obtained and forwarded by tho 
person desiring the Premium. 
Tho Premiums are for 18S2 (Volume 41), but all 
WHO Subscribers for 1882, hereafter coming in, will 
receive the remaining numbers issued during 1881, with 
out extra charge. (Those arriving in October, will have 
the paper 14 months, and those arriving in November, will 
have it 13 months at the yearly rate). 
MOTE THIS : If during evenings, and 
rainy days, at the Fairs, etc., (with little if 
any loss of time) any one secures an average 
of a subscriber a day, at our $1.50 a year rate, 
it will, in a single month, bring a Premium, 
or several of them together, worth §25, for 
use, or for sale. In two months §50”, in 
threo months $75 ; in four months, $SOO, 
, MANY have done two, three, four and moro 
times as well. One canvasser, for example,ob¬ 
tained nearly an average of $300 a month all 
through the year, and secured over $3,500. 
(She devoted her whole time to it). There 
are veiy few towns that do not have more 
than 25 families, to each of whom the Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist would be worth many 
times $1.50 a year, in its information, hints 
and suggestions. Single items are often 
worth far more than this. BUT a Premium 
List Collector can go through a whole Town 
or County, or several of them. 
AS 3 Premium Workers should 
Mote the followimg: 
1st. —One can close the list at any time, and call for 
the premium or premiums due; or the list of names can 
be added to all the while up to June 1882. BUT 
2d. —Send along the names as fast as gathered (with 
the exact money), so that tho subscribers may begin to 
receive the Journal at once. £ V y ~ Marie every name or 
list of names “ For Premiums ,” ifso intended, and credit 
for them will bo entered in our Premium Record Book. 
fLUB MATE PREMIUMS. 
All Premium Offers are based on tho single yearly 
subscription rates (.$1X0 a year). — Those who 
gather subscriptions at any of our club rates, (as 
three for $4.00, etc.,) can themselves make up tho 
amount to $1.50 each, as the Premiums will well 
pay them to do ; 4&5S, if they send upwards of ten 
subscribers at the lowest club rates ($1.00 a year), 
they can,if they prefer, select any Premium Articles, 
or Books to the amount of 12 cents for each sub¬ 
scription. If 50 or more such subscriptions aro 
sent, 15 ceut3 each will bo allowed in Premiums. 
But no transfer cf names to another canvasser, or 
combination of lists will be allowed these premiums.

premiums, butwccxpccta fair share cf new subscrip¬ 
tions in such lists.
