paper, of those subscribers who share in the dis¬ 
tribution. 
“ THE FARMER’S PRIDE *’ 
A Chance for Making Money. 
During the next three mouths thousands of farmers and 
others iu every part of the country will have more or less 
leisure time, which they can profitably employ in pro¬ 
curing subscriptions to the American Agriculturist. We 
are confident that almost everybody who sees the eplen- 
Fine Pictures add greatly to the attractiveness 
and cheerfulness of every home, however lowly 
it may be. More tlia.it 5550,000 excel¬ 
lent Chromes, almost equal to Oil Paintings, 
such as the “ Strawberry Girl,” “Mischief Brew¬ 
ing,” etc., now adorn the dwellings of the readers of 
the American Agriculturist, to whom they were sent 
exclusively. These are vastly superior to the 
cheap, dauby pictures subsequently' scattered 
through the country, and which led us to cease 
distributing Chromos altogether. 
We are happy to announce that we can now supply 
all the bona-fide subscribers of the American Agri¬ 
culturist for 1S79 with a Superb Steel Plate, Line 
Engraving, entitled “The FARMER’S PRIDE,” 
painted by the eminent Landscape Painter, Jerome 
Thompson, and Engraved on Steel by Marshall, 
whose great portraits of Washington, Lincoln, 
and others, have achieved for him A world 
WIDE REPUTATION. 
The eminent French artist, Gustave Dore, styles 
him “ the Master of Art in America,” and Euro¬ 
pean critics have united in pronouncing his portrait 
of Mr. Lincoln the lines! specimen of 
lineal art produced in tliis century. 
Mr. Marshall regards this last work, “ The Farmer’s 
Pride,” equal to any of liis previous 
efforts, and it will unquestionably be so re¬ 
garded by judges. The cost for engraving a steel 
plate ranges from One Hundred Dollars upward, 
according to the artistic execution, fineness, and 
size. Mr. Marshall receives 
Three Thousand l>«llars 
for engraving this picture, which of itself indicates 
the excellence and value of the work. 
The usual price of steel-plate line engravings of 
the size and character of “The Farmer’s Pride,” 
is Ten Hollars, lmt 
To all bona-fide subscribers of the American 
Agriculturist for 1879, we will supply 
a splendid Copy of tlte Farmer’s 
Pride, at our office, together with, 
tlte Paper, one year post-paid, for 
$1.63, or $1.70 when the picture is forwarded by 
mail, post-paid, securely rolled and protected in a 
mailing-tube, free of any extra charge. 
That is to say, we will send the Amei'ican Agriculturist 
for 1879 to bona-fide subscribers, together witli Marshall’s 
elegant Steel Plate, Line Engraving, “The Farmer's 
Pride” (price $5.00), for$1.70, all postage prepaid.

Broadway, we will furnish the paper, postage for the year

because of our desire to place this beautiful pic¬ 
ture in the homes of all our subscribers, and at the 
same time to increase the number of these sub¬ 
scribers for 1879 to a round 
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND. 
Though the American Agriculturist at the reduced 
price ($1.50 per annum), is cheaper than any similar 
journal in the world, and richly worth treble the 
price of the subscription, we cheerfully supply this 
magnificent engraving at a great expense 
is executed in the liigltest style of art on 
line plate-papei*, Twenty-Two Inches by 
Twenty-Eight Inches. Some idea of the estimation 
in which the artist and the picture are held, may be 
had from the fact that thirty artist proofs of this 
engraving, with the signature of the Artist, have 
beensubscribedforat Twenty-live Elollaes 
eacli.

The Steel-Plate Engraving for 
PREMIUM CLUBS. 
Owing to the necessarily large expense of furnishing 
the Steel-Plate, it was at first intended to limit its offer 
to subscribers paying the full price of $1.50 a year, and a 
small addition, and where no other premiums were given. 
But we have finally decided to place all subscribers, as 
nearly as possible, upon equal footing, and we therefore 
make the following offers to all who are collecting lists 
of subscribers for Premiums :

the table on the last page of this paper, and in the General 
Illustrated Premium List, published in November, can

only 20 cents for each name, to cover cost of packing, 
postage, etc., on the Engraving; Or only 13 cents each, 
when the Engravings are to be sent by Express, un¬ 
paid , in a single parcel, to one individual.

Tl»e attention 
and responsible Live Agents, and Agricul¬ 
tural Implement Dealers in all parts of tire 
Country is invited to our 
Traction or Self-Propelling 
FARM ENGINES. 
By a simple but reliable attachment made to our Common 
Farm Engines, we are able to offer a Traction, or Sell-pro¬ 
pelling Farm Engine, which not only propels itself, but 
hauls a Water Tank and Separator, or loaded Wagon, over 
any road, up bill, or down, with the aid of one pair of horses. 
These Engines have been thoroughly tested three seasons. 
Three hundred ot them are now in use, and they have not 
only proved a complete success, but have given such excel¬ 
lent satisfaction that,* where introduced, it is with difficulty 
any other engine can be sold. They cost but little more titan 
the common Farm Engine, and enable the thresliermen to 
operate with from two to four less teams, and move much 
faster than with horses. They are simple in construction, 
easily handled, durable, and their advantages over the 
common Farm Engine are so apparent, we are confident 
they are destined to take the place of other Engines used for 
threshing, or for any use where the engine and machinery 
employed has to be frequently moved. Circulars containing 
cuts, description, prices, and testimonial letters from our 
customers, furnished free to all applicants. Agents and 
Dealers will readily appreciate the advantages this Engine 
offers them. Agents wanted in every County in all the 
Stares and Territories.
