Fbe divided and reset in new soil once in five or 
isix years. If they arc not re-planted, they become 
Ilarge and overgrown, and do not thrive ancl bloom 
mearly as well as when divided and put into fresh 
isarth. The list of Perennials is too long to give here. 
Now, all we have further to say at present to our 
.-young gardeners is—get a fine large piece of ground 
) laid off for you, this Fall. Have it spaded up and 
) manured, and put into tolerable shape. Then when 
: Spring opens, it will be in good condition for you 
to work in. Have your list of seeds and plants all 
made out during the Winter, and in Spring be ready 
to make for yourself a little Paradise of a garden.

NEW PREMIUM LIST, 
For 18SS2—V©!. Ml. 
Or Pay to Voluntary Agents who will attend to collect¬ 
ing names of new and old subscribers to the Agri¬ 
culturist, and forwarding them to the Office. 
Experience has proved that it is a benefit to the sub¬ 
scribers themselves, as well as to the Publisher, to have 
an Agent, at every Post Office, to attend to collecting the 
names and subscriptions of old subscribers, and to pre¬ 
sent the advantages of the paper to those not yet acquaint¬ 
ed with it. But to employ and commission a Special 
Agent in every neighborhood throughout the country, is 
out of the question. We therefore offer certain good ar¬ 
ticles, the value proportioned to the number of names 
sent in, and leave them open to every person disposed to 
attend to the business, in the locality where he may be 
known to be a reliable man. The pay offered for a year 
to come is very large, but perhaps none too much so for 
the times. By giving the articles offered we can make 
the pay much larger than if in money, because we have 
facilities for getting these articles at a low rate. Besides, 
the advertising thus given to the manufacturers, induces 
them to bear a considerable portion of the expense on 
the articles we nesd for premiums. 
J'gv’In selecting articles for premiums, we have aimed 
to get such as are useful, and as have been most fre¬ 
quently called for by our readers. j^Ws wish it 
distinctly understood that these premiums are offer¬ 
ed in good faith—no cheap, trashy, imperfect, poorly made , 
or second-hand thing, will be sent out, but each article 
qJeered) is the best of its kind x and, every one will be selected 
by the publisher from the very best manufactured. They 
will be the best sold in the market at the prices named. 
U2T- We offer nothing for competition ., Each premium is 
for a specified number of subscribers, and no one's remuner¬ 
ation will depend upon what other unknown persons are do¬ 
ing. Every one aiming for a premium, knows just what he 
or she is working for; and also that if a higher premium is 
not secured, a lower one can be taken. 
ffS'” Any extra specimen copies, or show bill, needed by 
canvassers, will be freely furnished. 
ESyOnly one premium can be paid on the same subscriber. 
03?" We make no distinction between new and old subscri¬ 
bers, but it is expected that every canvasser will not only 
gather up the names of old subscribers, but also secure a 
large number of new names. 
fir/- The offer of extra numbers to new subscribers re¬ 
ceived now, makes it practicable to begin collecting names 
at once. Indeed, these numbers are an extra inducement. 
Every person collecting names for premiums, should 
send the names witli the money as fast as obtained, so that 
the subscribers may begin to receive their papers; but if de¬ 
signed for premiums, two copies of each list of names should 
be sent—one of them marked at the top “For Premiums,” 
and also with the name of the sender. 
The premiums are offered for subscribers for Volume 
XXI (1S62), whenever received. Canvassers will have time 
for completing their lists, but the premium will be paid as 
soon as any club is made up—if duplicate lists are sent. 
Any person who has commenced sending in names at 
80c.. and finally fails to get the higher number of names, can 
fall back upon the smaller number, by remitting the 20 cents 
extra on each of the smaller number of names required. 
Clubs need not be confined to one Post Office. 
CS?" No premium is sent till specifically asked for, as we 
have many friends who send in large lists but will take no 
premium, and we are not certain that premiums are desired, 
unless the fact be mentioned particularly. 
Off- It is believed that all can recommend this journal to 
their friends and neighbors, and urge them to take and read 
it. it will continue to be independent, out-spoken, and relia¬ 
ble, the special friend, advocate, and promoter of the farmer’s 
interests, and will aim to facilitate and lighten the labors of 
every household. A larger number of instructive as well as 
pleasing engravings, and a greater amount of really useful 
information, will be given in the next Volume, than in 
any preceding one. Onward, upward, is our motto.

description of tiie premiums. 
Premiums. 3, 3.—Wringing Machine. 
We place this first, for it is nearly new, and one of the most 
useful articles for every family. We had one of the first 
made, and have used it over a year with the highest satisfac¬ 
tion. It completely does away with the hard straining work 
required to wring out garments by hand. It does not twist 
and break the fibres of the clothes, but simply presses them 
between two elastic India-rubber rollers, which arc moved 
by a crank, and whether large.or small pieces, they come out 
drier than when wrung by hand The saving to garments 
would soon pay the cost of the implement, to say nothing of 
the saving of woman’s labor. The machine is set upon the 
side of any tub ; the garments dropout into a basket. A 
child can quickly wring out a tub full of clothes—They are 
of three sizes.—No. 3, costing $7 50, is just the tiling for com¬ 
mon family use. Tins we present to any one sending us S8 
subscribers for the Agriculturist, at $1 each, (or 37 at the 
lowest club price of 80 cents.)-No. 3, costing $5, is thrown 
out for reasons given on page 313. No. 2 is preferable,-No. 
1, costing $10, is adapted to larger families and Hotels. We 
USIl_Rresent.it for 33 subscribers at $1 each, (or 48 at 80 cts. 
each.)-We are glad to be able to present this implement 
ns a premium on such liberal terms. One or more clubs for 
a No. 2 might be made up in almost every neighborhood. 
Premium No. 4—Sewing Machine. 
90 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 130 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person sending them to Wheeler <6 "Wilson's best 
S45 Sewing Machine, (including Hcmmer), new 
from the factory, and of the very best make. There is no 
better family machine than this made, ns we have proved by 
nearly yowl’ years’ use in our own family, in connection with 
other machines. We want, no better,—The prolongation ot 
life, the saving of health and strength to our females, and the 
better physical vigor thus secured to tho noxt generation, 
render the Sewing Machine one of tho mo.st desirable ad¬ 
ditions to the household,-=-The machines wU\ be selected 
new at the manufactory, be well boxed, and forwarded with* 
out expense to the recipient, except for freight charges after 
leaving the city. Full iustructious for setting up and using 
go witli eacli machine. 
Premium No. 5—Sewing Macliiiue. 
69 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 98 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person procuing them to Willcox dc Gibbs' $35 
Sewing Machines, including a set of Hemmers. 
This is the best machine of its kind, (sewing with one thread,) 
and has several points superior to other machines. It is neat, 
well made, simple in its operation; and having tested one in 
our own family for more than a year, we think highly of it, 
and can recommend it to those who can not alford to buy 
the higher priced double-thread machines. (The regular 
prieu of this machine is $30, but we have included In our of¬ 
fer $5 extra for the set of Hemmers. because those used with 
this machine are very simple and eft'ective, and should go 
witli every machine sent out.) The machines given as pre¬ 
miums, will be forwarded to the recipient free of expense, 
except for freight after leaving the city. They will go out 
set up ready for use, with printed directions for operating. 
Premium No. (i—Barometer, 
lit Subscribers at $1 each, (or 44 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person getting up the club to one of Kendall's 
Aneroid Barometers, (Price $7 50.) This is a good, 
portable instrument, and valuable to every person as a 
weather guide, as well as for scientific purposes. We have 
had one in use for nearly two years, and find it not only ac¬ 
curate, but an admirable weather prophet. Scarcely a rain, 
storm or gale of wind has occurred, that has not been herald¬ 
ed by our barometer. Each instrument is packed in a neat 
leather case, 6 inches square, and 4 inches deep, and this, sur¬ 
rounded by cotton, is enclosed in a wooden box, ready to be 
carried anywhere by express or otherwise. 
Premium No. 7—Hydropult. 
30 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 48 at 80 cts. each,) will enti¬ 
tle the person making up the club to the Hydropult, 
(Price $12,) a very useful hand implement for carrying in¬ 
stantly to any desired point, to throw water from a pail, tub, 
cistern, or other receptacle, for extinguishing fires, watering 
plants, washing carriages, etc., etc. A stream can be ttirowu 
up to the third story windows. It is supplied with jet pipe 
and rose or sprinkler; is made of brass, and is durable. It 
weighs only 8 lbs., and can be packed in small compass to go 
by express or otherwise. 
Premium No. 8—Melodeon. 
135 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 337 at SO cents each,) will 
entitle the person getting up the club to one of Geo A. 
Prince & Co.’s §75 Melodeons (5 octaves). These Melo- 
deons are of very superior tone and finish. We have ots- 
selves used one for two years past, and it has given 
the highest satisfaction, and is pronounced by all who 
have heard it, as one of the very best. The different priced 
instruments are of equally good tone—the price varying with 
tiie size and style of finish. The size, prices, etc., of these in¬ 
struments can be learned particularly, by sending a stamp to 
Geo. A. Prince & Co., Buffalo, N. Y., for an illustrated de¬ 
scriptive catalogue. The instruments given as Premiums, will 
be sent new directly from the factory at Buffalo, ready box¬ 
ed, and without extra expense to the recipient, except for 
freight after leaving the factory. 
The above premium list may be made up by the 
members of a congregation, or Sabbath School, or other 
school, and an instrument thus secured for a church or 
school-room. This was done in several instances the past year. 
Premium No. 9—Melodeon. 
104 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 183 at 80 cents each) will 
entitle the person getting up the club to one of Geo. A. 
Prince ifc Co.'s ®GO Melodeons (4^ octaves.) See No. 8 
Premium No. 10—Melodeon. 
90 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 130 at SO cents each,) will 
entitle the person getting up the club to one of Geo. A 
Prince cfc Co.’s $45 Melodeons (4 octaves.) See remarks 
above. N. B.—Higher priced Melodeons will be given for 
larger lists, in the same proportion. 
Premium No. 11—New Cyclopedia. 
96 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 140 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person getting up the club to a set of Appleton’s 
New American Cyclopedia, now in course of 
publication, consisting of sixteen large volumes of 770 pages 
each. This is a magnificent work, forming a whole library 
embracing every topic of human knowledge. Twelve vol¬ 
umes are now ready, and the remaining four will be fur¬ 
nished as fast as issued. The original design of this work 
was 15 volumes, but it is found that the immense mass of mat¬ 
ter will require 16 large volumes. The work is sold _at $3 per 
volume, or $18 for the set. To no better purpose codld any 
one devote the coming Fall and Winter evenings than to 
raising the club of subscribers required to secure this most 
valuable work for himself and family. 
Premium No. 1.3—Best Dictionary. 
18 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 40 at 80 cts. each,) will enti¬ 
tle tbe-person getting up tlie.chib to a copy of the large Pic¬ 
torial Unabridged Edition of Worcester’s Dictionary, 
(Price $7 50.) This now stands confessedly the most valua¬ 
ble Standard Dictionary published. It weighs nearly 10 lbs.; 
is 13 inches long, 10 inches wide, nearly 4 inches thick, and 
contains 1854 pages of 3 columns each, giving the spel¬ 
ling and pronunciation, with full explanations, of every 
word in the English Language, and as a source of general 
information on all subjects, stands next to the Cyclopedia. 
The Dictionary can be called for at our Office, or be sent 
by Express or otherwise, to any part of the country. 
The United States Express Company have kindly agreed 
to deliver the book at very moderate rates to any part of tho 
country where their lines extend. It can also go by mail to 
any place within 3,000 miles for $1 CO, prepaid postage Ex¬ 
cept to remote points, the expense will be much less by Ex¬ 
press. (Persons living oft' from express lines, can usually 
have it delivered to some person op the line, and send for 
at their convenience^
