8E«sei’ipSi«m of Preinliassss. 
Every Premium is described in the October Agricul¬ 
turist, and also in a f8gs«7*i:tl SSaceJ, which -will 
be sent liree to every one desiring it. We have room 
here for the following only: 
W T «„-11 —Vfa-ioBg-Ssag' MaeBaaBao. 
—A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clothes- 
saving implement, that should ho in every family. The 
wringing of clothes by band is hard upon the hands, 
arms, and chest, and the twisting stretches and breaks 
the fibres with lever power. With the Wringing Ma¬ 
chine, tiie garments are passed rapidly between elastic 
rollers, which press the water out better than hand wring¬ 
ing, and as fiist 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., Middlefield, Ct. 
Wo. 4 £. — Coke ISaslcet.—A new pat¬ 
tern, canoe shaped, nicely chased and verytaking. It is 
double-plated, made by the Lucius Hart Manf’g Comp’y. 
Wo. 45.—BSevolviBig EStt filer Cooler. 
—This is a really good and useful article. It is so ar¬ 
ranged that a very little ice in the holder under the plate 
will keep butter cool and fresh for a long time on the 
table, even in the hottest weather. The cover revolves 
underneath the plate for use, and over for protection. 
The whole is in four pieces, which can all he taken 
apart for washing. From same house as last premium. 
3)091. 56, 57, 58, 50—E^orliet Knaves. 
—now von the bovs and gihls ! —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 but a little effort. These knives are made 
by Mr. .I P. Swain, whose work is equal to any done 
in this country or Europe. No. 5G 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. 
Wo. 6-4.—A 4Soo«l Watcli.—The Watches 
made by the American Watch Co., Waltham, 
Mass., have, peculiarities of excellence which place 
them above all foreign rivalry. The substitution of 
machinery for hand 1 alien' lias been followed not oidy 
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, wi tli ma¬ 
chinery perfect and ample, enables them to offer watches 
at lower rates than any other manufacturers. Their 
annual manufacture is said to he double that of all other 
makers in this country combined, and much larger than 
tiie entire manufacture of England. The mechanical im¬ 
provements and valuable inventions of tiie last fifteen 
years, whether home or foreign in their origin, have been 
brought to their aid, aud the presence of over 400.000 
AValtliam Watches arc in use. All of the large num¬ 
ber of these watches which were given as premiums lust 
year gave entire satisfaction. Wc have again arranged 
witli 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 manner, and inquire coin- 
silver “hunting” case; weight 3 oz. This watcli we 
offer as one of our Premiums, with the idlest confidence. 
Upon the movement of each of these watches will be 
engraved, “ American Agriculturist. Made by the 
American Watch Company , Waltham, Mass." 
Wo. 615.—BE a-eccilE-IosB'iIiLEBg' JPocikcf 
ESISfe.—This remarkable little fire-arm weighs only 
eleven ounces, yet shoots with great accuracy and 
power from 30 to 100 yards, or more, and can lie loaded 
and fired five times a minute. It can be carried in a side 
pocket, and is accompanied by an extension breech, 
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 are' Messrs. J. Stevens 
(6 Co., Chicopee Falls, Mass., and the rifles are sold at 
retail by Cooper, Harris W Hodgkins, No. 177 Proadwaiy. 
This Premium gave great satisfaction last season. 
ESP” Without the mahogany case, we will give the 
weapon, all complete, with 100 cartridges, packed in a 
pasteboard box, on receipt of 18 subscribers, at $1.50 
each. For a full description, see Am, Agriculturist for 
Jail. 1S09, page 32. 
Wo. 84. — CVjBMdljBlil's 
Building Blocks furnish a most attractive amuse¬ 
ment for children. They are very simple in construction, 
will stand years of children’s handling wit hout breaking, 
and give renewed pleasure daily. Churches, Dwellings, 
Barns, Mills, Fences, Furniture, etc., in almost endless 
variety, can lie built with them, and tlie structures re¬ 
main so firm as to be carried about. For developing the 
ingenuity and taste of children they are uneqnaled. The 
Blocks arc put up in neat boxes, accompanied by a 
large band-bill giving various designs of buildings. This 
is one of tiie most successful toys ever invented. Twenty- 
five thousand dollars’ worth were sold last year by 
Orange Judd & Co., Sole Agents. 
Wo. §5.—l 0 oclsefi-, l.fB.ButoifMS. —A very 
ingenious and valuable Yankee invention—a complete 
Lantern, largo enough to afford light for walking or other 
purposes, yet it can be folded for the vest pocket, into a 
parcel 3 by 4 inches long, and % of an inch in thickness ; 
it contains3 little sperm, candles, matches, etc. Made by 
the Merriam Manf'g Company (Julius Ives & Co., 
Agents, No. 37 Barclay St., New York.) 
Wos. 88 to —Aolsmaies of tike 
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 tiie 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. 
Wos. 64 t o 2 >J>.—ESobbebc!! AeluiBB&es oi" 
tiie Agriculturist.—These.arc the same as Nos. 88 
to 93 above, but are neatly bound in uniform style, and 
cost us more for binding -and postage. Sent post-paid. 
Wos. 1641 to 111.—<GSootl EAThrmr'Sesi. 
—In these premiums, we offer a choice of Books for 
tiie srarjui. Garden, and Household. Tiie per¬ 
son entitled to any one of the-premiums 109 to 111 may 
seiect any books desired from tiie list of our books publish¬ 
ed monthly in tiie American Agriculturist, io the amount 
of the premiums, and tiie books will bo forwarded, Post or 
Express paid. $23 or $59 worth of hooks 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. Any.good book will, in the 
end, be of far more value to a youth than to have an ex¬ 
tra acre of land on coming to manhood. The thinking, 
reasoning, observing man, will certainly make more off 
from 49 acres than lie would offfrom 50 acres without the 
mental ability which reading will give him. 'pfW Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library for general use.
