paper at once. Tou can have any time, from one to 
six months, to fill up your list.... (c?) Send the exact 
money with each list of names, so that there may be 
no confusion 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. N.B.—The extra 
copy to clubs of ten or twenty is not given where pre¬ 
mium articles arc called for_(/) Specimen Numbers, 
Cards, and Show-bills, will be supplied free as needed by 
canvassers, but they should be used carefully and econom¬

Every Premium is described in the October 
Agriculturist , and also in a Special SSaeet, 
which will be sent free to every one desiring it. 
We have room here for the following only. 
N©.4S—doilies WrloBg-lMg- Maeliinxe. 
—A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clotlies- 
saving implement, that should be in every family. Tlie 
wringing of clothes by hand is hard upon tlie hands, 
arms, and chest, and the twisting stretches and breaks 
tlie fibres with lever power. With the Wringing Ma¬ 
chine, tlie garments are passed rapidly between elastic 
rollers, which press the water out better than hand wring¬ 
ing, and as fast as one can pick up the garments. 
We have given thousands of these premiums, with almost 
universal satisfaction. They are made by the Metro¬ 
politan Washing Machine Co., MiddletioKt, Ct. 
No. 44. — Cistlse IBaslcet.—A new pat¬ 
tern, canoe shaped, nicely chased and very taking. It is 
from the same makers and of equally good quality as tlie 
two preceding premiums; a beautiful table ornament. 
No. 45.—IScvolvisig - IBtatfteir Coolei*. 
,—This is a really good and useful article. It is so ar¬ 
ranged that a very little ice in tlie holder under the plate 
will keep butter cool and fresh for a long time on tlie 
table, even in the hottest weather. The cover revolves 
underneath tlie plate for use, and over for protection. 
The whole is in four pieces, which can all be taken 
apart for washing. From same bouse as last premium. 
Nos. 548, 5^, 58, 59—iPoclket Msiaves. 
—now for the boys and girls !— These Premiums are 
among the most pleasing and useful that we have ever 
offered. Every boy, and girl, too, wants a pocket knife. 
We give them an opportunity to obtain a most valuable 
one for nothing hut a little effort. These knives are made 
by Mr. $ ■ P. Swain, whose work is equal to any done 
in this country or Europe. No. 50 is a neat, substantial 
Knife, with three blades and buck-horn handle. No. 57 
is a still finer article, with four blades and buck-horn 
handle. No. 58 is an elegant Knife, with four blades and 
shell handle. No. 59 is a Ladies’ Pocket Knife, a beau¬ 
tiful article, with four blades and shell handle. 
No. ©4.—A ®©©al 'Wsateis.— 1 The Watches 
made by the American WatcliCo., Waltliaui, 
Mass., have peculiarities of excellence which place 
them above all foreign rivalry. The substitution of 
machinery for hand labor has been followed not only 
25i i= Every Premium article is new and of the very Ibest 
manufacture. No charge is made for packing or boxing 
any article in our Premium List. The thirty-nine Premiums , 
Nos. 29 to 33, 56 to 59, TO to 74, and 88 to 
112 irudusive, will each be delivered FREE of all charges , 
by mail or express {at the Post-office or express office nearest 
recipient), to any place in the United States or Teiritories. 
—The other articles cost the recipient only the freight after 
leaving the manufactory of eoxh, by any conveyance that may 
pe specified. See Description of Premiums in Qcl. Number, 
by greater simplicity, but by a precision in detail, 
and accuracy and uniformity in their time-keeping 
qualities, which by the old method of manufacture are 
unattainable: A smoothness and certainty of movement 
are secured which proceed from the perfect adaptation of 
every piece to its place. The extent of the Waltham 
' establishment, the combination of skilled labor, with ma¬ 
chinery perfect andample, enables them to offer watches 
at lower rates than any other manufacturers. Their 
annual manufacture is said to be double that of all other 
makers in this country combined, and much larger than 
the entire manufacture of England, The mechanical im¬ 
provements and valuable inventions of the last fifteen 
years, whether homo or foreign in their origin, have been 
brought to their aid, and the presence of over 400,000 
Waltham Watches in the pockets of the people is the 
best proof of the public approval. All of the largo num¬ 
ber of these watches which were given as premiums last 
year gave entire satisfaction. We have again arranged 
with this Company to make for us a Silver watch, jewelled, 
with chronometer balance, warranted by them as made 
of the best materials in the best mariner, and in pure coin¬ 
silver “hunting” case; weight 3 oz. This watch we 
offer as one of our Premiums, with the fullest confidence. 
Upon the movement of each of these watches will be 
engraved, “ American Agriculturist. Made by tlie 
American Wateln Co., WaMnam, Mass.”

Kiflc.—This remarkable little fire-arm weighs only 
eleven ounces, yet shoots with great accuracy anil 
power from 30 to 100 yards, or more, and can be loaded 
and fired five times a minute. It can be carried in a side 
pocket, and is accompanied by an extension breecli, 
so that it may be used either as a pistol or rifle. It is 
put up in a neat, mahogany case, with 250 rounds of am¬ 
munition. The manufacturers arc Messrs. S. Stevens 
& Co., Claicopee Falls, Mass., and the rifles are 
sold at retail by Messrs. Cooper, Harris <fc 
Hodgkins, No. 1*7 Broadway. This Premium 
gave great satisfaction last season. Without the 
mahogany case, we will give the weapon, all complete, 
with 100 cartridges, packed in a pasteboard box, on 
receipt of IS subscribers, at $1.50 each. For a full 
description of this beautiful implement, with illustra¬ 
tions, see Am. Agriculturist for Jan. 1869, page 32.

Building Blocks furnish a most attractive amuse¬ 
ment for children. They are very simple in construction, 
will stand years of children’s handling without breaking, 
and give renewed pleasure daily. Churches, Dwellings, 
Barns, Mills, Fences, Furniture, etc., in almost endless 
variety, can be built with them, and the structures re¬ 
main so firm as to be carried about. For developing the 
ingenuity and taste of children they are iincqualed. The 
Blocks are put up in neat boxes, accompanied by a 
large hand-bill giving various designs of buildings. This 
is one of tlie most successful toys ever invented. Twenty- 
five thousand dollars’ worth were sold last year by 
Orange .Judd & C©., Sole Ageaals. 
N<o>. @5.—! c ®c]ketf. Ibsiraien-ias.—A very 
ingenious and valuable Yankee invention—a complete 
Lantern , large enough to afford light for walking or other 
purposes, yet it can be folded into a parcel 3 by 4 inches 
long, and % of an inch in thickness; it contains3 little 
sperm candles, matches, etc. Made by tlie Merrram 
Maitf’g Company (Julius Ives & Co., Agents, 
No. 37 Barclay St., New York);

American Agriculturist (Unbound). — These 
amount to a large and valuable Library on all matters 
pertaining to the Farm, Garden, and Household, and con¬ 
tain more varied information on these subjects than can 
be obtained in books costing three times as much. The 
price of the volumes is $1.50 each, at the Office, or $1.75 
if sent by mail, as they must‘be post-paid.-They are 
profusely Illustrated, the Engravings used in them having 
alone cost about $35,000. Those obtaining premiums for 
less than twelve volumes can select any volumes desired, 
from XVI. to XXVIII. inclusive'. For ordinary use, the 
sets of numbers unbound will answer quite well.

—In these premiums, we offer a choice of Books for 
the Farm, Garden, and HousekoM. The per¬ 
son entitled to any one of the premiums 100 to 111 may 
select any books desired from the list of our books publish¬ 
ed monthly in the American Agriculturist, to the amount 
of the premiums, and the books will be forwarded, Post or 
Express paid. $25 or $50 worth of books pertaining to 
the farm will give the boys new ideas, set them to think¬ 
ing and observing, and thus enable, them to make their 
heads help their hands. Am-good book wifi, in the 
end, be of far more value to a youth than to have an ex¬ 
tra acre of land on coming to manhood. Tlie thinking, 
reasoning, observing man, will certainly make more oft’ 
from 49 acres than he would off from 50 acres without the 
mentai ability which reading will give him. {gg” Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library _jr general use.
