one of these! (See Nos.56, 57, 58 in Premium Table.) 
OHS—: First-rate Family Scales—

23 ^“Every Premium article is new and of the very best 
manufacture. No charge is made far packing or boxing 
any article in our Premium List. The tldrty-nine Premiums, 
Nos. 29 to 33, 56 to 59, 70 to 74, and 88 to 
112 inclusive, 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 Territories.

count, though from one or a dozen different Post-offices, 
Blit. ..(b) State with each name or list of names sent, 
that it is for a premium_ (c) Send the names as fast as 
obtained, that the subscribers may begin to receive the 
paper at once. You can have any time, from one to 
four months, to fill up your list_ (d) Send the exact 
money with eacli list of names, so that there may he 
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 chilis of ten or twenty is not given where pre¬ 
mium articles are called for. ...(f) Specimen Numbers, 
Cards, and Show-bills, will be supplied free as needed by

ence of the Postmaster, and take his receipt for it. 
Money sent in any of the above ways is at our risk. 
Description of Fremiuins. 
Every Premium is described in the October Agricul¬ 
turist 1, and also in a Special Sheet, which will 
be sent free to every one desiring it. We have room 
here for the following only: 
No. 84. — Crandall’s Improved 
if uiIdijig 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 bo 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 unequaled. The 
Blocks are put up in neat boxes, accompanied by a 
large hand-bill giving various designs of buildings. This 
is one of the most successful toys ever invented, 
No*. 88 to OS.-Volumcs of the 
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 he 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 auite well. 
No*. 94 to —Bound Volumes of 
tlie Agriculturist. —These are 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. 
Nos. IttO to 111.—Good. Libraries. 
—In these premiums, we offer a choice of Books for 
the Farm, Garden, and Household. The per¬ 
son entitled to anyone of the premiums 100 to 111 may 
select any books desired from the list of our books 
published monthly, (see another page), to the amount of 
the premiums, and the books will be forwarded, Post or 
Express paid. $25 or $50 worth of hooks pertaining to 
the farm will give the boys new ideas, set them to thinl*- 
ing and observing, and thus enable them to make their 
heads help Weir hands. Any good book will, in the 
end, be of far more value to a yontli 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 he would offfrom 50acres withoutthe 
‘ mental ability which reading will give him. jjy Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library for general use. 
No. 113.—General Book Premium. 
Any one sending 25 or more names may s?lgpt Books 
from our published list to the amount of 10 cents for 
each subscriber sent at $1; or 30 cents for each namo 
sent at $1.20 each ; or 00 cents for each name at $1.50. 
This offer is only for duffs of 25 or more. The books 
vM be sent by mail or express, prepaid through by vs.
