TWENTY-SIX DAYS. 
26 26 
Twenty-six Working Days will close the first half 
of 1870, and on Thursday, June 30th, we propose to 
withdraw our general offer of Premiums for this volume. 
The above announcement is of special interest to 
two classes which embrace all our Readers. 
THE FIRST CLASS, includes all those who have be¬ 
gun to make up lists of Subscribers to secure our Premi¬ 
ums. In almost every case a little vigorous effort, during 
the next 2G days, will fill up the list, or at least make it 
large enough to secure some one of the Premiums. For 
example, suppose one has been trying to get a Sewing 
Machine, and has sent more or less names for that premi¬ 
um. If enough names have not, and can not, be obtained 
for that, the names may apply on a list for a smaller pre¬ 
mium. So we say, in all cases, get every subscriber pos¬ 
sible this month, and then choose such a premium as the 
list actually obtained will call for. We are anxious U> have 
every one rewarded for all he or she has accomplished, 
whether it will be for our profit or not. -N. IS.—A 
great deal may he done during June in the way of getting 
subscribers, as noted below. 
E£§T“ THE SECOND CLASS takes in Every one of 
82F” our EScadcrs not included in the first class 
above. In the next column is a table of first-rate 
Jarticles, offered to all those who secure the required 
E2F” number of subscribers, as noted against each arti- 
5^" cle, AND many hundreds, yes many Thousands, 
ipy (you among the number) may easily collect names 
JEST" of subscribers enough during June, to secure the 
tSsf” free reception of one or more of these valuable pre- 
iniums. During every month of June, for many 
E2F” years past, a great number of persons have begun 
and completed just such lists, and obtained valua- 
tfPT hie premiums. Suppose you try it this month. 
One, two, or three subscribers a day, or evening, 
during the next 20 days, will procure a large pre- 
J>2f~ mium. One subscriber only for every two, three. 
Sap” or fsur days or evenings, will secure a very good ar- 
tide. Run through the list and see what is offered.

turist, and also in a Special Slice!, which will 
be sent free to every one desiring it. We have room 
here for the following only: 
No. 40.—Washing* Machines.— For a 
long time wc have annually tried many new "Washing 
Machines, and “Doty’s Paragon,” which wc have now 
used nearly five years, is the only one the “ help ” will 
use voluntarily. Send for full Descriptive Circulars to 
K. C. E5rowing, 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y., 
or to Metropolitan Washing Machine Co., 
Middlefield, Conn. It goes cheaply by freight or express. 
No.41—Clothes WrimgTmg- Machine. 
—A very useful, time-saving, strength-saving, clothes- 
saving implement, that should he in every family. The 
tvringing of clothes by hand is hard upon the hands, 
arms, and chest; and the twisting stretches and breaks 
the fibres with lever power. With the Wringing Ma¬ 
chine, the garments are passed rapidly between clastic 
rollers, which press ttie water out bettor 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., Middlefield, Ct. 
Nos. 55, .57, 58, 52>—B®oelect E^nives. 
_now tor the boys and girls !—These Premiums are 
among the most pleasing and useful that we have ever 
offered. Every hoy, aud girl, too, wants a pocket knife.

one for nothing hut a little effort. These knives are made 
hyMr.J. 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. 5S 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. ©4 to ©SI.— BSoomu! WoSaotnes 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. 
PSos. U©i> to 111.—Good E.aforaries. 
—In these premiums, we offer a choice of IBooks for 
the Farm, Garden, and IflouseltoJd. The per¬

Express paid. $25 or $50 worth of books pertaining to 
the farm will give the hoys 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, he 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 oft’ 
from 49 acres than he would off from 50 acres witlioutthe
