$1.60 eacli for single copies: Four copies. $1.30 each: Ten 
copies, $1.20 each: Twenty copies and upward, $1.10 each. 
These rates include Postage, in each case, which is pre-paid

All Men, Women, 
AND 
Children, 
EVERYWHERE. 
The Publishers of the American Agri¬ 
culturist have the pleasure of presenting 
to their friends and patrons a most valu¬ 
able assortment of Very Good, Very De¬ 
sirable, Very Useful Things, one or more 
of which can be had without money and 
without price, by one or more persons 
residing at or near each of the 41,000 
Post-Offices in the United States, and by 
others residing in any other place in the 
civilized world. 
IV. B.— Every article described in the 
following pages is new, first-class, •and 
warranted to be just what it is described 
to be. Every article sent out will be new 
from the factory, of the latest and best 
manufacture.—No better can be obtained 
any where. Every article is put down at 
its regular cash price, and is just as valu¬ 
able as so much cash, for use, for sale, or 
for a present to a friend. 
Bead these Explanations, 
There is no clap-trap, no gift enter¬ 
prise, nothing deceptive in this ar¬ 
rangement. It is a straight-forward 
business, taken part in by over 18,000 
persons in past years, with general satis¬ 
faction to themselves, and to the Pub¬ 
lishers. Here is the explanation: 
The American Agriculturist has been 
issued for Thirty-six Years ; it has an 
immense circulation, and is a thorough¬ 
going, useful paper for all classes, in 
Country, City, and Village. It is beau¬ 
tifully illustrated with over 600 useful 
engravings every year.—There ought to 
be an Agent for it at every post-office in 
the world; hut the Publishers, having 
tried the agency system, found it so diffi¬ 
cult to follow it up in all its details/that 
they dropped it entirely, and pursue the 
following plan: 
They allow and invite any reliable per¬ 
son, any where, to receive and forward 
subscribers, to show the paper to others, 
and ask them to subscribe, and thus do a 
favor to both the publishers, and to all 
those whose subscriptions they thus re¬ 
ceive and forward. For all such assist¬ 
ance, the Publishers offer good remu¬ 
neration in the form of valuable articles, 
which are presented free, the article and 
its value being proportioned to the num¬ 
ber of Subscribers looked after and for¬ 
warded. In this way almost any one can 
easily secure and forward three, four, 
five, or more, names of subscribers, and 
receive the article offered, free. 
IS, B ,—The American Agriculturist is 
itself, alone, worth many times its cost to 
every subscriber, and no premiums or ex¬ 
tras are intended to be offered with the 
paper. These Premium Articles are in¬ 
tended solely as remuneration for any 
time and attention given by those who 
show the paper, speak of its merits and use¬ 
fulness, and receive and forward names. 
N. IB. —Every dollar paid by subscribers is ex¬ 
pended upon the paper, and is returned to them in 
the paper itself. The premiums are paid for with 
the money received for good advertisements—only 
good ones are admitted into the paper. 
W. B2.—These premium articles are bought at 
the lowest wholesale rates for cash. So, while they 
are just as valuable as so much money, the Publish¬ 
ers are able to give much larger remuneration than 
if they pursued the old system of cash commissions. 
Look over the articles and descriptions 
in the following 7 pages ; select the arti¬ 
cle most wanted ; take a copy of the pa¬ 
per and show it to friends and neighbors, 
and very soon a list will be obtained 
which will secure the article desired. If 
a large article is aimed for, but not se¬ 
cured, a smaller one can he taken. 
********************************** 
If the Reader only knew the good 
quality and real value of these pre¬ 
mium articles, and how easy a mat¬ 
ter it is to show the American Agri¬ 
culturist to some friends and neigh¬ 
bors, tell them its value, and ask 
them to try it a year, and tMis 
gather a few subscribers, and him-, 
self receive the premium offered, he 
would take hold of it at once. 
What over 118, ©G© others have 
done, any one else can easily do. 
*** There are from 30 to 500 families, or more, 
in the vicinity of each Post Office, every one of 
whom would be benefited by having this Journal 
for a year, at a cost, postage included, of 3 cents 
a week. Prom one to a dozen premium clubs, 
small or large, may be gathered in the vicinity of 
each Post Office, and as many premiums be ob¬ 
tained. YOU may get one or more of them.

H©giai to-day.—To hasten for¬ 
ward the subscriptions for 1878, so that 
the names can be all properly entered and 
recorded in advance of the usual rush in 
December and January, the Publishers 
offer from this time forward to receive 
subscriptions for 1878, and begin send¬ 
ing the papers from the receipt of the 
subscription for the rest of 1877, with¬ 
out extra charge. This will be an ex-
