No. 229.—The Hunter’s Pet. 
A DESIRABLE PREMIUM 
COUNTRY OR TOWN. 
Sixteen years ago Amei'ican Agricultuj'ist 
a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to its readers in 
every section of the country, in directing their attention 
to a remarkable little fire-arm called the Breech-loading 
Pocket Rifie, it weighed only eleven ounces, and shot 
with great accuracy and power from ten to one hundred 
yards, could he loaded and fired five times a minute, 
and could he carried in a side-pocket while working in 
the fields, ready to bring down game on short notice. It 
was exceedingly convenient in new countries as a defen¬ 
sive weapon, and uscfnl generally on the farm. Mr. 
Judd used this gun with great success and pleasure. 
Now, after a lapse of sixteen years, when rifles of all 
makes and patterns have been introduced in alt lands, we 
reproduceas a premium this Rifle, wliicli lias been 
enlarged and greatly improved, because we 
consider it (the Hunter’s Pet), as we then did sixteen 
years ago, the best thing of the kind in the woild. 
The barrel of this Rifle is made of the finest quality, de¬ 
carbonized steel, and each 
barrel is thoroughly tested 
at the factory before it is 
sent out, thereby guaran¬ 
teeing absolute safety. The 
action, although perfectly 
simple, both in its con¬ 
struction and working, is 
one of the most reliable, 
as well as durable actions 
now in use. The stock is 
heavily nickel-plated and 
handsomely finished, and 
has an extension skele¬ 
ton breech, nickel-plated, 
which can be instantane¬ 
ously either screwed on, 
(or taken off), thereby enabling one to steady the piece 
while firing ; when not in use, it can be easily carried in 
a side pocket. For accuracy, penetration, .and wear, 
this little Rifle is equal to many of the best and most 
popular makes now in the market. 
One of the strong points of this remarkable fire-arm, is 
its simplicity, both of construction, and action ; it re¬ 
quires no special instructions to manage it, in fact any 
one can at once use it, and if at all accurate in aim, can 
make most excellent targets. For small game shooting, 
or gallery practice, it is equally well adapted. 
This rifle can be had in 22, 32, .38, or 44 calibre, Rim 
Fire, or 32, 33, or44c.alibre Cential Fire, with combined 
sights. 18-inch. Price $18.00. 20 subscriptions at 
$1.60eacb, will secure this elegant premium ; OR, we 
wilt send it, pre-paid, on receipt of price. 
No. 230.—The Famous Flotaert Parlor 
Target Rifle. -Price $4.50.—The famous Flobert 
Rifle, while used (or target practice at the same time, is 
a most desirable and useful weapon for destroying small 
birds, and for driving away annoying animals, without 
killing them—cats for example. One of the managers 
of the American Agricuttwist was for months unable 
to sleep, owing to the ceaseless quarreling of cats in the 
back yard. He procured one of these Flobert’s, and 
after a few evenings peace reigned in the vicinity. None 
of the cats were killed, but they were all sufficiently 
tickled with the Flobert sensation, as to abandon that 
neighborhood. Everybody In the vicinity has ex¬ 
pressed gratitude to the gentleman, who has through 
means of the Flobert insured tranquility after night¬ 
fall. The Flobert is a breech-loader, causes little 
or no noise, uses either a ball, or a small load of 
shot. The barrel, which is a breech-loader, is solid, and 
can be used with perfect safety. Indeed, tlie one em¬ 
ployed by the gentleman alluded to above, caused little

Twenty-five successive 
shots, fired Dec. 5,1868, 
by David W. Judd. 
or no noise, and the only evidences of the discharge to 
lookers-on, was afforded in the rapid disappearance of 
the cats. We know of no weapon which affords more 
pleasure for target practice, at short range, or which so 
quietly and successfully clears one yard, or a neighbor¬ 
hood of cats or dogs, if necessary, without inflicting any 
serious injury upon them; that is, when yon use 
the small shot. The ball, of course, penetrates 
the body of the cat, dog, or any other animal, 
with the natural results which follow penetration, 
of cold lead as a solid. Is there a farm house 
in the country, or a dwelling in the village, which 
is not at some time more or less infested after dark with 
strange cats or dogs; herein lies deliverance. 6 sub¬ 
scriptions, at $1.50 each, will secure this premium; OR, 
we will send it on receipt of price. Receiver to pay 
small expressage.
