AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
READ THESE GENERAL 
Premium Regulations: 
1st. Send subscriptions as fast as gathered (with 
the exact money), that the Subscribers may begin 
to receive the Journal at once, and take your own 
time to complete your list and select your prem¬ 
ium. You can have all the time desired up to June, 
1880_2d. Old and new subscribers all count in 
Premium Clubs of two or more names, but a portion 
at least should be new names ; it is partly to get 
these, that we offer premiums to canvassers_3d. 
Premium clubs may be from any number of differ¬ 
ent Post-Offices, if all are gathered and sent by thi 
same person_4th. A Specimen Number will be 
supplied free, when needed for canvassing, but extra 
numbers are expensive, and should be used careful¬ 
ly and economically, and where they will tell. Other 
specimen numbers will be sent, post-paid, to can¬ 
vassers only, on receipt of two 3-cent stamps for 
each copy. The regular price is 15 cents per number 
ggp” Subscriptions Count in One 
Premium I.ist ONLY. —To meet the va¬ 
ried wants and circumstances of our Friends, the 
premiums are offered in different ways—to indi¬ 
viduals and clubs. Of course no subscription 
can count more than once for any premiums : or be 
counted for any premium, when articles or Books 
are taken with subscriptions, at lower prices as 
offered on this page. 
Welivei-ing tine Prenainwis: — All 
mailable premium articles will be delivered free at 
the Office, 345 Broadway, or be forwarded by mail, 
post-paid, to any part of the United States and 
Territories when no postage is specified, or on 
on receipt of the postage, when any amount 
is stated. Unmailable articles will be forwarded 
by freight, express, or otherwise, as desired 
by each recipient, the carriage to be paid by 
the recipient. The exclusion of some articles 
from foreign mails, and the varying duties or Cus¬ 
tom charges upon others, preclude any general rule 
for foreign lands. To British America, 
the postage to be prepaid on Premiums is the same 
as in the United States, but articles subject to Cus¬ 
tom duties, can not be mailed across the line, nor 
those weighing over 8 ounces. We will make all 
possible efforts to accommodate our foreign readers. 
Low Express Charges.-On such arti¬ 
cles as are to be forwarded by express or freight, 
the charges will usually be moderate. The cost in 
any particular case can be best learned at the ex¬ 
press or freight office nearest one’s own residence. 
Articles Wanted at a Betinite 
Time, for Premiums or otherwise, should be 
secured long enough in advance to allow for acci¬ 
dental delays in transportation, etc. Remember : 
that, as the Holidays approach there will be an im¬ 
mense pressure upon manufacturers and dealers; 
also upon Express and Railway Companies. Also : 
that when any articles happen to be in large popu¬ 
lar demand, the stock manufactured may some¬ 
times be temporarily exhausted. When we know 
in advance just what is wanted, we can have it ready. 
“ Registering ” Premium Articles 
Mailed. —Every mailable article, of any class, 
can now be “ Registered ” at the Post Office. The 
uniform charge for registering any parcel, from 
half an ounce up to four pounds, is ten cents in ad¬ 
dition to the regular postage. Any one entitled to 
a premium article to be sent by mail can have it 
registered by sending this extra 10 cents. It will 
sometimes secure extra care and dispatch. 
Foreign Subscription Rates. —The 
Subscription Rates of the American Agriculturist are 
the same everywhere, EXCEPT that 18 cents per 
year additional for the extra postage is required on 
every annual subscription when this Journal is 
mailed outside of the United States or British 
America. With this exception, and the matter of de¬ 
livery noted above, the Premium offers are universal 
to all countries embraced in the Postal Union. 
Tlse Prices For Premiums, as given, 
are the lowest regular standard rates established by 
the manufacturers and dealers. They are frequently 
lower than similar articles of the same good quality 
are sold for in many places. 
How to Send Money :—Send money by 
Postal Money Order, or by checks or drafts on New 
York Banks or Bankers, payable to order of Or¬ 
ange Judd Company. If neither of these is ob¬ 
tainable, send the money by Register Letter, affix¬ 
ing stamps both for the postage and registry. 
HERMAN Subscriptions Count 
in Premium agists. —The subscription rates 
of the German ( Amerikanischer Agriculturist) are pre¬ 
cisely the same as for the English Edition, aud any 
Premium List may consist wholly of English or 
of German subscriptions, or of any part of each. 
Some Good Advertisements will be 
found on pages 407 to 408 also on pages 441 to 446, 
and on three cover pages, which will be worth 
looking through for information. , This Journal ex¬ 
cludes all medical and all unreliable advertisements 
and advertisers. We aim to admit only those who 
have both the ability and intention to do just as they 
promise. When writing to our Advertisers, please 
inform them where you saw their announcements. 
Noteworthy Premiums, 
[With 354 numbered Articles, and 847 Good 
Books to choose from, the Reader will be puzzled
