Preserve this Sheet for Reference—Its Offers hold good from Sept 15, 1882 to June 30,1883. 
Let it 5>e Understood That Premiums 
are not offered as inducements to sub¬ 
scribers themselves ; the American Agricul¬ 
turist is abundantly worth its small subscrip¬ 
tion rates to everybody. But they are 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 sub¬ 
scriptions, both of new readers and renewals. 
7tli.—German Subscriptions are at. the same 
rates as the English edition, and count in premium lists. 
A premium list maybe wholly of English, or wholly of 
German subscriptions, or be made up of a part of each. 
8tli.—A Specimen Number of the American 
Agriculturist, (English or German), will be sent free, and 
post-paid to any actual canvasser. A few additional 
copies, if desired solely for canvassing, will he sent post¬ 
paid for 6 cents each. Price of numbers to others 
15 cents each. They are too costly to scatter free. 
—SHegistterm;*- Premiums. —Every Article 
noted to be sent post-paid, will be Registered if the 
Registration Fee of 10 cents be sent to us. 
1 Otli.—Express or Freight Charges are 
usually low on Premium Articles. The cost can be best 
learned at one’s own nearest express or freight office. 
WORTHY OF 
Every 
ATTENTION. 
A Large, Varied Collection of 
VALUABLE ARTICLES, 
including Many Good Books, 
to be Obtained 
WITHOUT MONEY. 
The Publishers of the American Agri¬ 
culturist believe that they are issuing 
one of the most Useful, Practical, Reli¬ 
able Journals in the World, for all classes, 
in Country, Village, and City, for all 
Out-door as well as In-door Work.— 
Though it has now an immense circula¬ 
tion in all parts of America, and in most 
other countries, they desire to extend its 
circulation and usefulness still further. 
To this end, they offer valuable 
remuneration to every one 
assisting by influence, by words, and 
by deeds, in securing new readers, and 
in forwarding renewals of subscriptions. 
This remuneration, for few or many 
subscribers, is given in the form of the 
very Valuable Articles described at 
length on other pages. 
All articles are just as described, and 
are new from the manufactories. The 
regular selling price of each one is given, 
and they are all worth their price for 
MJse, for Presents, or for Sale. 
A GOOSV BUSINESS. 
(Many secure good salaries or income 
by canvassing, and receiving the Pre¬ 
miums, and selling them for cash.) 
SEE HOW IT PAYS: If during even¬ 
ings, and rainy days, at the Fairs, etc. (with 
little or no loss of time), any one secures an 
average of one subscriber a day, at our $1.50 
a year rate, a single month will bring a Pre¬ 
mium, or several of them together, worth 
$ 25 , for use, or for sale. In two months, 
$50 ; in three months, $75 ; in four months, 
$S©0. MANY have done two, three, four, 
and more times as ivell. There are veiy few 
towns that do not have more than 25 families, 
to each of whom the American Agriculturist 
would be worth 
many times $1.50 a 
year, in its informa¬ 
tion. hints and sug¬ 
gestions. Single 
items are often 
worth far more 
than this. BUT a 
Premium List Collector can go through 
a Town or County, or several of them. 
PREMIUM RULES. 
All Collecting Premium Names 
should Carefully Note the following: 
1st.—One can close the list of names at any time, and 
call for the premium or premiums due; or the list of 
names can be added to all the while up to June 1883. BUT 
2d.— Send along the names as fast as gathered (with 
the exact money), so that the subscribers may begin to 
receive the Journal at once. Mark every name, or 
list of names “ For Premiums," if so intended, and we 
will credit them to the sender in our Premium Record. 
3d.— New subscriptions all count for premiums, and 
renewals count in lists of two or more names, but we ex¬ 
pect a fair share of new subscriptions in such lists. 
4tli .—Any person aiming to get a particular premium, 
but who, after fair effort , or through sickness, or otherwise 
fails to complete the list, will be allowed a discount on the 
price of the article, in purchasing it, exactly in proportion 
to the number of names sent—if one-third or more of the 
required number of names are sent. 
5 tli.—Premiums iov single subscriptions are only for 
new subscriptions obtained and forwarded by tne person 
desiring the Premium. One’s own subscription does not 
count for a single name premium, but may be counted 
where there are two or more premium subscriptions. 
6tl». —All subscriptions for premiums are credited to 
the Sender, whether the subscribers receive their papers 
at one Post Office, or at a dozen or more different offices. 
lltlc.—For a Premium or Purchased article, wanted 
at a 9$cfiuite Time, give sufficient notice fonts to 
order it from the Manufactory, and allow for accidental 
detention on the way ; also for the crowded factories, and 
express carriers, and freight trains, about the Holidays. 
12tli. —No subscription can count towards more 
than one premium in any case. 
13tli.—To Foreign SSeaders The above 
rules about mailing Premiums apply only to the U. S. and 
Territories. Mailable articles not exceeding 8 ounces go 
to all British America, except Newfoundland, at 10 cents 
per parcel, but packages over 8 ounces are excluded from 
Canada mails.—To all foreign subscribers we will follow 
any direction given about sending articles from the 
Premium List.—Subscriptions and postage rates on the 
American Agriculturist to the Canadas are the same as to 
United States Post Offices. To Newfoundland, and to all 
foreign countries embraced in the Postal Union, 20 cents 
a year must he added to the subscription rates, for extra 
postage to be prepaid here. 
S^EMIUIS for SUBSCRIP¬ 
TIONS at CLUB RATES. 
All Premium Offers are based on the single yearly sub¬ 
scription rates ($1.50 a year).—Those who gather sub¬ 
scriptions at any of our clnb rates, (as three for $4.00, etc.,) 
can themselves make up the amount to $1.50 each, as the 
premiums will well pay them to do ; OR, if they send 
upwards of tesi 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 
subscription. If 50 or more snch subscriptions are 
sent, 15 cents each will be allowed in Premiums. But 
no transfer of names to another canvasser, or combina¬ 
tion of lists will be allowed to take these premiums. 
Begin Now. • 
Advantage of Doing so, 
1. —NEW Subscribers for 1883 ( Vol. 
42) arriving before October 31st, will re¬ 
ceive the American Agriculturist for 
November and December, 1882, 
2. —Those arriving during November 
will receive the paper free for December. 
But remember, that by New Subscribers we mean those 
who have not taken the paper before. A transfer of 
names from o»e member of a family, or from one friend 
to another does not constitute a new subscriber. 
DW The November and December num¬ 
bers will be very valuable, and the receiv¬ 
ing either of these numbersfree will induce 
many to join your Premium Club at once. 
SUBSCRIBERS Can PURCHASE The PREMIUM ARTICLES when they have not time or 
opportunity to get them FREE as Premiums, or if they desire additional articles, or wish to procure them 
guaranteed and from a responsible source, and can get them best through this Office. Many things can be 
sent to any point, Post-Paid, as noted in the descriptions. The regular selling price is given with each.
