AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST.

It is Important to 
BEAD All the following 
Premium Regulations: 
1st. Send subscriptions as fast as gathered (with 
the exact money), that the Subscribers may begin 
10 receive the Journal at once, and take your own 
time to complete your list and select your prem¬ 
iums. You can have all the time desired up to July, 
1881. In sending names for a premium club, 
state the fact, and they will be entered to your 
credit in a special Premium Record. You can close 
your list and call for your premiums at any time 
previous to July 1, 1881.9d. 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 the 
same person. Clubs may consist of English or Ger¬ 
man subscriptions, or both_4th. A Specimen 
Number will be supplied free, when needed for can¬ 
vassing, but extra numbers are expensive, and 
should be used carefully and economically, and 
where they will tell. Other specimen numbers will 
be sent, post-paid, to canvassers only, on receipt of 
six cents for each copy desired. The regular price 
is 15 cents per number. 
Get Premium Names Anywhere. 
—As above noted (3), names for Premium Clubs 
can be gathered from any number of post-offices, 
and the papers will be mailed to each subscriber’s 
address—but the names for any Premium Club 
must all be sent in by the person who collects them. 
0* Subscriptions Count ONLY in 
One Premium Ust. — 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 in 3d column of this page. 
Delivering 1 the Premiums. —All mail- 
able premium articles will be delivered free at the 
Office, 245 Broadwav, or be forwarded by mail, 
post-paid, to any part of the United States and 
Territories when no postage is specified, or on re¬ 
ceipt 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 ex¬ 
clusion of some articles from foreign mails, and the 
varying duties or Custom charges upon others, 
preclude any general rule for foreign lands. To 
British America, (except Newfoundland,) 
the postage to be prepaid on Mailable Premiums is 
10 cents on each parcel, and nothing over 8 ounces 
can be mailed. Newfoundland postage is the same 
as to Postal Union foreign lands. We will make all 
possible efforts to accommodate our foreign readers. 
Foreign Subscription Rates.— The 
Subscription Rates of the American Agriculturist 
(English or German editions) are the same every¬ 
where, EXCEPT that 18 cents per year additional 
for the extra postage is reauired when this Journal 
is mailed outside of the United States or the 
Canadas. With this exception, and the matter of 
delivery noted above, the Premium offers are uni¬ 
versal to all countries embraced in the Postal Union. 
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 express 
or freight office nearest one’s own residence. 
“Registering” Premium Articles 
flailed. —Mailable articles, of 2d and 3d class, 
can now be “ Registered” for 10 cents extra per 
parcel, up to four pounds. Any one entitled to a 
premium article to be sent by mail can have it reg¬ 
istered by sending us this extra 10 cents. 
GERHAN Subscriptions Count in 
Premium Eists.— The subscription rates of 
the German ( Amerikanischer Agriculturist) are pre¬ 
cisely the same as for, the English Edition, and 
any Premium List may consist wholly of English or 
of German subscriptions, or of any part of each. 
Xlie Prices of Premiums, as given, 
are the lowest regular standard rates established by 
the manufacturers and dealers. These prices are 
frequently lower than similar articles of the same 
good quality are sold for in many places. 
How to Send Honey .—Send money by 
Postal Money Order, or by Checks or Drafts on New 
York Banks or Bankers, payable to order of 
Orange Judd Company. If neither of these is ob¬ 
tainable, send the money by Register Letter, affix¬ 
ing stamps both for the postage and registry. 
Large Pay 1 ™ Little Work, 
One subscriber obtained each day (or evening,with¬ 
out loss of time), is 25 a month, and that will bring 
the reward of good articles from the premium list, 
worth $95.00 either for use or sale, or $25.00 in 
good Books, or several smaller articles, worth toge¬ 
ther $25.00, when subscriptions are sent at full rates 
($1.50 a year). There are few places where there not 
at least 25 persons who would be much benefited by 
reading the American Agriculturist , and who would 
take it if shown its real value. In many single 
towns there are from fifty to twelve hundred sub¬ 
scribers, and premium clubs need not be confined 
to one town or post-office. 
A CAPITAL BUSINESS.— While every sub¬ 
scriber can collect, in his own vicinity, two, five, ten, 
twenty, up to one hundred or more premium names, as 
many have done, many others can pursue canvassing as a 
good and profitable Business, receive the premium arti¬ 
cles, and sell them for cash, as they are all good, popu¬ 
lar, and readily salable. This has been done with great 
profit in years past. Some make poor work at first, but 
by perseverance and learning how to do it, they become 
expert and highly successful. The most successful 
canvasser in this way is a Lady who has thus secured an 
income larger than is obtained by most farmers or pro¬ 
fessional men. fS"We employ no ‘'Agents," and issue 
no certificates, but any one can canvass where he is 
known, and if desiring to go into neighboring towns 
can, if himself trustworthy, gel any needed endorsements 
from persons well known in his own section of country. 
HCg?- Extra Long Year, 
Beginning; To»day !—To help all our 
friends to immediate success in securing valuable 
Premium articles, we make the following offer: 
Every new subscriber for 1884 received after 
Sept. 1st, 1880, will be entered at once upon our 
mail books, and receive, without charge, 
the numbers issued in 18S0 after his name arrives. 
(Subscribers received in September, 1880, get the 
paper 15 months for a year’s payment; in Oc¬ 
tober, 14 months; in November, 13 months.—) 
g^T* This offer is to ALT, NEW subscribers for 
1881, in premium clubs or otherwise. So the form¬ 
ing of premium clubs can Begin at Once.— 
The extra copies offered will be a special incentive to 
new subscribers. Old subscribers need no induce¬ 
ment, and they will renew now for next year, as 
well as later, and thus help swell the premium club. 
| BEGIN AT ONCE. 
While the Premiums are for volume 40 {all of 
1881), the collecting of names can be best begun at 
once. For strong Reasons see item “J®”Ext.ra 
Long Year.” Fairs, Political Gatherings, 
evening visits, correspondence with fi-iends, etc., can 
dll be used advantageously in collecting names. 
Articles Wanted at a Definite 
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. 
Usually they will be sent promptly when called for.
