S ‘A11AMEK’§ DOZEN.” 
It is desirable to have as many as possible 
of our subscribers begin and end evenly with 
the volumes, which will hereafter correspond 
with the year. To bring this about, all new 
subscriptions received during the next four 
months will be entered from January 1st 
1S57, unless specially ordered otherwise. 
But 
TAME NOTICE. 
All new names for 1857, received during 
this month (November), will receive the 
November and December numbers ivithout 
charge. Our agents and friends generally 
may therefore commence sending new 
names for 1857, at once. Such subscribers 
whether single or in clubs will get a “ Ba¬ 
ker’s Dozen,” that is fourteen , instead of 
twelve monthly numbers for a year. 
WH4TSAIYIIJ FRIENDS ? 
Is not the Agriculturist worthy of your 
recommendation 1 Can you not conscien¬ 
tiously advise your neighbors to subscribe 
for it l We make no vain or unfounded 
boast when we promise you that the vol¬ 
ume for 1857 (vol. XVI), will by far excel 
all its predecessors in real practical value. 
We have strong grounds for this promise. 
A success the present year beyond our most 
sanguine expectations gives a new zest to 
our labors. A large number of the best and 
most practical writers have given us assur¬ 
ance of their assistance during next year. 
A large sum will be devoted to procuring 
superior, beautiful and instructive cuts, and 
the paper will be decidedly improved in 
every respect. 
If the free offer of the two remaining 
numbers of this year will be an additional 
inducement to new subscribers we shall be 
glad to furnish them.
