Any one of the above Sums cam foe 
Easily obtained—foy Men, Women, 
and. Children even, foy the judicious 
use of Odd Spells, such as evening s, 
rainy days, etc., during APMIL, or 
during A5*I£5E and MAY, or during 
APML, MAY, and JO'K. 
Tlxe above may, at first sight, appear a little sen¬ 
sational, but it is only a statement of what has 
been done by many thousands of persons 
all over the eouutrv; and Mthat has been done 
by these thousands, can be done by other thousands 
just as well. It only needs the desire to do it, 
and the WILL to do it, and it will be done. 
1st—There are now about 40,000,000 people 
in this country, nearly all within reach of the 
38,000 Post-offices. The most of these people 
arc pushing along, seeking to better their condi¬ 
tion. Their success depends upon two tilings, 
viz.: Steady, hard work, with body or mind, and 
knowledge enough to turn their work to the best 
account. One drudges along and fails of success, 
because he does not know how to work to,the best 
advantage; another works less, and yet succeeds 
better, because his knowledge directs and aids his 
physical or mental labor. 
•id —It is a benefit to the former class to add to 
his or her knowledge by every possible means. 
*lrZ— 1 Two Journals, viz., the American Agricul¬ 
turist (monthly) and Hearth and Home (weekly) are 
prepared by those who make it their earnest busi¬ 
ness to gather all possible reliable information 
about the best methods of. doing work , and of turn¬ 
ing that work to the best possible advantage. These 
persons talk and write from large experience 
as workers, and from extensive observation, and 
from an immense amount of correspondence from 
practical men and women ail over the country. 
&th—It is impossible for any person, whatever his 
calling, to read the condensed information thus given in 
these journals without getting thoughts and hints that 
will directly or indirectly increase the value of his or 
her work many limes more than the cost of the papers. 
Tice first one costs less than half a. cent a day, and the 
second one less than one cent a day, and the two toge¬ 
ther less than cents a i day—sums easily saved. 
5th —It only needs some one to show the 
people these papers, point out their useful¬ 
ness, and receive and forward their sub¬ 
scriptions. 
G/h —Out of 40,000,000 people, there is 
at least one in every forty, or a million 
in all, who could take one or both of 
these journals with profit , whereas there 
are only about 200,000 that now take 
them, or one in every two hundred. 
7th —We offer fine Premiums, as good as 
cash, (see next column,) to those persons 
who will take the trouble to show the 
papers and collect and forward the sub¬ 
scriptions. It can be done at odd si>ells, 
without interfering with other work, 
and premiums all the way from §5 to 
§625 can thus be secured without cost. 
8 ill —This has been done at 11,000 Post- 
offices by about 12,500 persons, with people 
enough left at these offices to make up 
twice as many premium clubs. There are 
B.7,5©® other Post-offices where no pre¬ 
mium clubs have been raised, simply be¬ 
cause no one has taken hold of the work. 
&th and — ESEA15E12, you 
can do it, this month of APRIL. It is 
a good time; spring work is opening 
and people arc wanting help and informa¬ 
tion, and they can get it from these 
journals. Fori can secure.one or more of 
the excellent premiums. You can do it 
this month, and, if you wish, have May 
and June to swell your club up to a larger 
premium. 'fl'IlEA 
See Explanatory Aotes. 
Note.—M any persons canvass all (lie time as 
a business, sell the premiums received, and thus 
I clear large wages, One Lady actually thus earns 
over $3,009 a year, and multitudes in tills way 
secure salaries of $300 to $1,500 a year. 
Explanatory Notes.

as obtained, that the subscribers may begin to 
receive the paper at once. You can have any 
time, from one to three months, to fill up your 
list_ ( cl) Send the exact money with each 
list of names, so that there may be no con¬ 
fusion of money accounts.. .'.(e) Old and new 
■subscribers all count in premium clubs, but a 
portion, at least, should be new names; it is 
partly to get these that we offer premiums to 
canvassers.....!/) Specimen Numbers, Cards,
