READER, let us have a little familiar 
talk. We offer you a fine opportunity 
to benefit yourself, and to do good to 
others. We speak from the experience 
of many years. For example, a lady ob¬ 
tained for her time and efforts 
from Sept. 18G8 to July 1869. Clergy¬ 
men have increased their salaries and 
libraries; Teachers, Clerks, etc., have 
largely augmented their incomes; Widow 
ladies have partially supported their 
families; and Wives have obtained va¬ 
rious useful articles. Railroad conduct¬ 
ors have added largely to their wages 
while in their daily round of duty. Girls 
and Roys have secured for themselves and 
others choice things of great use to them. 
YVe continue, as for many years past, 
to get up at great expense, a Journal or 
Magazine win A is really very valuable 
to every family in the whole land—in 
Country, Village, . nd City. The aim of 
the American Agric ilturist is to benefit 
every class of person:, young and old. 
The Engravings are Aot excelled in 
beauty and instructiveness by any other 
popular journal or magazine in the world. 
It aims to throw a charm around rural 
and domestic life, while at the same time 
it gives practical hints and suggestions 
of great value. It constantly exposes 
the legion of Humbugs and Swindling 
schemes that infest the country, and in 
this way alone has saved millions of dol¬ 
lars to its readers. It aims to aid and 
cheer the House’eeper in her daily cares. 
It labors assiduously to interest and in¬ 
struct Children and Youth. Its success 
is proved by the fact that it has a larger 
list of constant readers than any other 
journal of its class in this or any other 
country. This paper clashes with nothing 
else. Every State has its local peculiari¬ 
ties, which are properly discussed by lo¬ 
cal journals that ought to be well patron¬ 
ized. But the American Agriculturist 
gives not only special information, but 
that of a general character everywhere 
useful; and it has facilities for a great 
amount of beautiful and instructive en¬ 
gravings possessed by no other paper. 
Of the 4,000,000 families in our coun¬ 
try, not more than 200,000 know how 
valuable and cheap this paper is. They 
would gladly subscribe if some one would 
show the paper and tell them about it. 
Well, reader, what we now desire is, 
to get your aid, among your acquaint¬ 
ances, in telling them about the Agricul¬ 
turist, and in receiving and forwarding 
subscriptions ; and we propose to PAY 
yoaa well. The reliable character of 
the Agriculturist , even in its advertising 
pages, makes it highly valuable to good 
advertisers, and they give us abundant 
means for premiums and profit. 
Row, look at our Premium list. (See 
next column.) Every one of these arti¬ 
cles is first rate. We warrant each Pre¬ 
mium to be just as represented. On 
account of the advertisements, our pre¬ 
miums are obtained so low, that we can 
pay much more in premiums than in 
cash. These articles are very salable, 
and anything you do not wish to keep 
you can easily dispose of. Many make 
high wages by canvassing and selling the 
premium articles. The premiums are 
open to all, and, excepting the animals, 
can be supplied in any number. 
It is easy to show the paper, explain 
its merit s, and collect names enough for 
a premium. Some of the best canvass¬ 
ers made slow progress at first, but after 
“ getting their hand in,” they found it 
easy to make $5 to $20 or more a day. 
TRY your hand at it, and begin now. 
No matter how many premium clubs are 
started in any neighborhood. One hint 
more. In securing subscribers, “ you do 
good, and make money.” TRY IT.
