The Publishers of the AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST have the pleasure of announcing to Ihclr 
subscribers, that by special arrangement they liave secured a great desideratum—a very excellent Double Barrel, 
Breech-Loading Shot Gun, one that will do GOOD WORK, which they can supply at less than HALF 
the PRICE usually asked forguns of equally good quality and make. Aside from all hunting and sporting 
purposes, A CUN IS NEEDED ON EVERY FARM, to exterminate pests. 
TO AVOID DELAYS a breech-loader is to be preferred by far, as there is no ramming oramnnini- 
tioii • the cartridges are easily and quickly removed always before taking it into the house or into a wagon, or 
settin" it away. The cartridges can thus be kept safely, yet be instantly got out and inserted in the gun wlien 
needed—no hunting up powder, shot, wads, caps, etc. The breech-loader |S EASILY CLEANED 
AND KEPT CLEAN ; does not get worn at the muzzle (which gives final direction to the charge) by 
the ramrod. No ramrod is used.- further, one can keep cartridges loaded with various sizes of shot, 
and at any moment insert the kind required. 
A o-un of good make is CHEAPEST AND SAFEST. The country has been flooded with a lot 
which, though looking well externally, are really dangerous, AND HAVE NO DURABIL¬ 
ITY— always something getting out of order. 
By special arrangement a gun possessing ALL THE GOOD QUALITIES f'"" a Farm Gun and 
quite well adapted to hunting has now been secureil, and at A VERY LOW COST. 
Before deciding upon its merits we submitted some of these guns to A THOROUGH, CAREFUL 
YESTI NC, shot for shot along with other superior guns (one of them a $230 shotgun from London.) These 
trials were in every way careful (see specimen targets and notes under) in the iiresence of one of our editors, who 
is well acquainted with the theory and principles of gunnery, and THE RESULTS WERE MOST 
GRATIFYING. 
The Barrels of this Gun are of FINE LAMINATED STEEL thoroughly tested and finely fin¬ 
ished; the action is the RELIABLE, SAFE AND DU R ABLE Lefaucheanx Lever Acti 9 n, thatfor 
strength IS incomparably, SUPERIOR to any side lever action now made, and it will out¬ 
wear a dozen side levers; this Gnu has Steel Freed Lode?, the stock is solid walnut, oil finished, and full check¬ 
ed ; and we can supply either 10 or 12 bores, 30 or 32-inch barrels, and weighs from 8 to OJ pounds. 
This Gun we will supply to the readers of this journal for the low price of $19.00—not half the usual cost of 
equally serviceable guns. 
We will present cue to any one sending 25 subscriptions to the American Agriculturist, at $1 50 a 
year each. _

hair, and will shoot round balls very accurately. Its calil)re. No. IT, adapts it to small loads, 2 to 2>^ measured 
drachms of powder, and M to % oz. shot, and owing to its true bore it throws the shot well massed (see 
target). In the trials referred to elsewhere, witnessed by one of the editors of this journal, it made just as good 
targets as $40 to $250 guns, used with it for comparison. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE. —These guns were made under the direct supervision of the TJnited 
States Government, and subjected to the MOST THOROUGH TESTS and careful inspection in every 
particular. They were the last made before changing to rifled barrels, and have never been used, but are new 
and IN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CONDITION as shown by the Government inspector’s 
marks. Il costover $20 each to produce them. 
For FARMERS, FARMERS’ BOYS and others who wish a good reliable gun—for hawks, 
rabbits, etc., for protection, etc., etc., this is JUST THE CUN. IT COSTS BUT A TRIFLE. 
The barrel is of solid steel of the finest quality, and is 32 inches long; the lock is of same material, is very 
perfect, strong, and durable ; and the stock is of American walnut, oiled. 
As to shooting; the Targets herewith shown speak for themselves. They were made off-hand at 30 yards, 
the charges consisting of 2>^ drachms powder, 1 oz'. shot, using Eley’s wads for hotli. 
This Gun we will supply to readers of the American Agriculiwist tor $6 •. or, we will PRESENT 
one to any person who will send T subscriptions to the American Agricultunst at $1.50 each. 
Express prepaid on either gun to any point east of the Mississippi River, when $1.00 extra is sent us.
