2 2222222222 2 
The two months of May and June, this year, are im¬ 
portant ones, in several respects. The wintry weather in 
March, and part of April, has crowded Farm, and Gar¬ 
den, and House work into narrower limits. The labor 
of three days must often be done in two ; lint if plans 
are all well laid, implements and seeds all ready, and the 
physical strength of botli human and animal workers be 
in good condition, much will be accomplished, and the 
autumn results will he cheering. 
ANOTHER THING, that will PAY WELl, 
can be done during these two months. Onr Premium 
list (previous column) will be open to all until June 30th. 
So there are two good months, or 52 week days and 
evenings, in which our friends may fill up their lists 
already begun, and start and fill up new lists, and in re¬ 
turn receive most valuable articles, free of cost. Many of 
our largest premiums have, in past years, been secured 
by persons who did not begin to get subscribers until 
after May 1st. For example, a lady began May 16, and 
secured a $650 Steinway Piano before June 30, and took 
care of her child in the meantime. A farmer, not having 
the cash to buy a mower, stirred around in May and the 
forepart of June, and without neglecting his farm work, 
secured a premium Buckeye Mower in time for haying, 
ne got the subscribers on evenings and rainy days— 
many of them among evening loungers at the stores. 
About one subscriber a day (or evening) during May and 
June, will secure you premium 21, or 24, or 25, or 36, or 
38, or 43, or 53, or 64, or 67, or 69, or 80, or 99, or 105, 
etc.,—about a dollar a day! Look at these in the Tabic. 
About one subscriber in two days (or evenings) will se¬ 
cure you premium 26, or 27, or 28, or 34, or 40, or 46, or 
51, or 66, or 77, or 79, or 83, or 9S, or 101, etc. Look at 
these in the Table. 
About one subscriber in three days (or evenings) will se¬ 
cure you premium 44, or 45, or 47-8-9, or 70, or 76, or 81, 
or 85, or 92, or 100, etc. Look at these in the Table. 
About one subsci'iber in four days (or evenings) will 
secure you premium 31, or 32, or 54, or 72, or 73, or 82, or 
90, etc. Look at these in the Table. 
All subscribers obtained, give you about $1 each ; for 
the premiums are all valuable, and fully worth their price. 
Every reader will find it useful to others as well as to 
himself, or herself, to keep this journal before the people, 
—every now and then getting some one to subscribe, 
who will himself he benefited, and a good premium will 
reward the canvasser. TRY IT, and see what can 
be done during the next

SPECIAL NOTES. 
Read and carefully Note the fol¬ 
lowing- Items : (a) All subscribers sent by one person 
count, though coming from a dozen different Post-offices. 
But....(5) 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 each list of names, so that there may he 
no confusion of money accounts_ (e) Old and new 
subscribers all count in premium clubs, hut a portion, 
at least, should he new names; it is partly lo 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 are called for_(/) Specimen Numbers, 
Cards, and Show-bills, will be supplied free, as needed by 
canvassers, but they should be used carefully and econom¬ 
ically, as they are very costly.... (17) Remit money 
in Checks on New York Banks or Bankers, payable to 
order of Orange Judd & Co., or send Post-office Money 
Orders. If neither of these is obtainable, Register 
Money Letters, affixing stamps both for the postage and 
registry; put in the money and seal the letter in the pres¬ 
ence of the Postmaster, and take his receipt for it. 
Money sent in any of the above ways is at our risk. 
Description of Premimns. 
Every Premium is described in the October Agricul¬ 
turist, and also in a Special Sited, which will 
be sent free to every one desiring it. We have room 
here for the following only: 
Nos. 50, 57, 58, 59—Pocket Knives* 
—now for the bots 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 but a little effort. These knives are made 
by Mr. J. I*. Swain, whose work is equal to any done 
in this country or Europe. No. 56 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. 
Nos. 88 to 05.—Volumes of tlae 
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 quite well. 
Nos. 94 to 99.—Roiiml Volumes of 
the 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. 190 to 111.—Good H,i1>rnries. 
—In these premiums, we offer a choice of Rooks for 
the Farm, Garden, and Household. The per¬ 
son entitled to any one 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 he 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. Any good book will, in the 
end, tie 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 he would offfrom 50 acres without the 
mental ability which reading will give him. B®" Let 
the Farmers of a neighborhood unite their efforts and 
get an agricultural Library for general use. 
No. 113.—CSeiaersiil Book Premium. 
Any one sending 25 or more names may select Books 
from our published list to the amount of 10 cents for 
each subscriber sent at $1; or 30 cents for each name 
sent at $1.20 each; or 60 cents for each name at $1.50. 
This offer is only for clubs of 25 or moi'e. The books 
wUl be sent by mail or express, prepaid through by us.
