A $4 — $100 Pocket Knife. 
53,—For Man or Boy, the most useful, convenient, 
and indispensable of all pocket articles—except a well 
filled money wallet—is a KNIFE. A one-bladed “jack¬ 
knife” is infinitely superior to none ; a large and small 
bladed one is much better; but perfection is attained in 
the knife here illustrated—and as it combines so much in 
so little weight (3 ounces), we named it the 64 Mul- 
tum-in-Parvo Pocket Knife.” The one shown 
we have carried 15 years, and though the cutting blades 
are worn to almost nothing, making a two-bladed fellow 
necessary, the other parts are still in daily use. Its good 
Screw-driver (hidden by tiie open blade) is always at hand 
for moving inch screws and under, and larger ones if in 
soft wood. Tiie Saw, with double rowed teeth, cuts off 
sticks and all sorts of things up to inch boards. The strong 
Hook hooks up a great many things, from a stove-cover 
to a bucket of hot water, etc., etc.; it pries open a door 
and other fast things ; cleans out a horse’s hoof; pullson 
shoes, boots, etc.; is like the end of an elephant's trunk 
in several respects.—The Punch makes holes in wood, in 
harness, etc., and by turning its sharp corners it rims out 
or enlarges the hole made.—The Gimlet often comes in 
play.—The Cork-screw is indispensable in these days 
abounding in bottled “patent medicines,”—that is, to 
most people! Tiie Tweezers and long rointer (both 
nearly 3 inches long), concealed in the handle except the 
partly drawn out ends, are often useful, the tweezers for 
extracting slivers, stray hairs on the face, for picking 
up small objects, etc.—the Pointer for a long, pointed 
brad-awl, etc.—The back of the Hook makes a useful 
Hammer for tacks and other minor poundings.—The in¬ 
side of the Hook has a small Nut-cracker.— All the above, 
with two excellent blades , fold neatly and smoothly into 
a conveniently carried, 3-inch long, ivory handle 2- 
ounce Knife—a POCKET 
FULL OF TOOLS, al¬ 
ways at hand for instant 
use. Very often its use 
in a single emergency 
whe' at work or travel¬ 
ling, Is worth a great many tirr z its original cost. 
The writer would not be without it for several times that 
cost.—We can mail one anywhere in the U. S. for $4. 
OR, we will present one for 5 subscriptions at $1.50 
each. Very many of our present readers have already 
obtained one; all others may do so, without cost, for any 
one can find five persons who would be benefited by the 
Amer. Agriculturist , and should be persuaded to obtain it

Worth its Weight in Silver. 
For a.small article, we have for years past found 
nothing better worth its trifling cost (except, perhaps, 
the “Multum-iu-parvo Knife,”) than a set of steel tools 
packed inside of the handle which is used with each of 
them. There are screw-drivers, various brad-awls, gim¬ 
lets, punches, etc., etc., 20 of them, and each one often 
comes into use iu in-door and out-door work. It is ap¬ 
propriately called a Poeket Tool Holder, as one 
can carry it in the pocket, if need be, and its use in fix¬ 
ing a harness alone, on the road, and in the field, has in 
single instances been worth its full cost. The tools are 
taken out as wanted by unscrewing the head, and insert¬ 
ing the one to be used in the smaller end, when a twist 
No. 02. 
of the handle holds it firmly. This end vise will grasp 
tightly anything from an 8-inch mill-file to a cambric 
needle. We can send one, post-paid, to any part of the 
United States or Territories for $1 ; OR, we will Pre¬ 
sent one for 2 subscriptions at $1.50 each. 
Time, Dimes, and Dollars Saved. 
63.— Farmers need not to be told “ Take care of the 
cents and the dollars will take care of themselves,” but 
many of them can learn hew to save pennies aud dimes. ‘ 
For instance, not one in a hundred ever has or uses a 
simple Soldering Iron, yet many times a year two min¬ 
utes time would stop a leak iu a milk pail, or wash 
boiler, or pan, or dipper, or other tin vessel, saving time 
lost in sending such articles to the tinsmith, and waiting 
for the mending. Iu the course of a year the dimes paid 
out amonne to dollars.—But any man, yes, and any wo¬ 
man too, can readily learn to apply Solder, and now 
there are neat sets of apparatus—a box or casket contain¬ 
ing a Soldering Iron (copper) a Scraper, a Bar of Solder, 
and a box of Soldering Saits, with printed directions for 
using them. Such an apparatus (the “ Gem Soldering 
Casket ”) we can send anywhere in the United States, 
post-paid by mail, for $1.25 ; OR present it, post-paid, 
for 2 subscriptions, at $1.50 each.—It will be useful any¬ 
where, and particularly so in distaut Territories, remote 
from tinsmiths. Every family ought to have such an ap¬ 
paratus, and the boys and the girls learn to use it as a part 
of their practical education. Extra Solder can always 
be got by mail, when needed, for a few cents expense. 
No, 64.- Hand-Drill.— Price 60c. An indis¬ 
pensable little instrument, without which no tool chest

safely packed in a box, and given,post-paid,to any present

will supply it, post-paid, for 60 cents. * 
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES. 
No. 65.—New Lemon Squeezer.—Price 
75cts. (including Cork-presser.) The best lemon-squeezer 
by far that we have ever seen is the “ Dean,” recently 
brought out. Into a firm iron lever frame, standing ou 
its own feet, is loosely set a strong thick glass with lip. 
This tumbler has a shoulder all round the inside, upon 
which stands an inverted hollow truncated cone, origin¬ 
ally of wood but now earthenware, pierced with numer¬ 
ous holes through its top. Half a lemon (or lime, or 
orange) is turned upon this, and on depressing the le¬ 
ver all the juice falls into the glass. From this it ia 
poured out by the lip as wanted, without spilling. Be¬ 
tween the levers, at the right of the glass, is a good cork- 
presser or nut-cracker. The No. 2 size, 10-inch lever, 
half-pint glass, we can supply for 75cents; OR one will 
he Presented to any subscriber sending a new sub¬ 
scription, at $1.50 a year—expressage to bo paid by

plated. It thoroughly mixes the dough, forcing the air 
through it, and stretching and rolling it into that elastic
