The Aiuerleun Agriculturist, with Its 32 
to 40 large quarto pages,! ts profuse and costly illustrations, 
Its practical, reliable, and condensed information, obtain¬ 
ed and prepared at great expense, is nimlshed to its sub¬ 
scribers at a price but very little above the cost of the 
paper on which it is printed. This can be accounted for, 
First, by the fact that but one cori»s of 
Editors, one set of Engravings, one setting of type, and 
one Publishing House managing the business affairs of 
the paper, BiilHce for supplying lu great army of sub¬ 
scribers; and 
.I'.'niii : 1% hilo the funds received for 
sub.'*criptiou8 are expended In preparing the paper and 
delivering it to subscribers, its immense circulation 
secures a very large and valuable advertising patronage. 
For every premium ebtained a list of new subscribers is 
sent in, and tlic more subscribers of course the more 
valnable our columns for advertisers. 
c arc tvIIIIiig, tlicrcforc, to pay well. 
In good Premiiaru, those who get up clubs for us. 
While it is true that many persons send to us the names 
of their friends and acquaintances without premiums, 
merely from good will and their confidence tliat they are 
thus conferring a favor upon their friends, it is also true 
tliat wo most cheerfully bestow all premiums that are 
earned, and in every proper way encourage eterybody to 
get up clubs, with the remuneration to be secured in view. 
Everybody may be an Agent.—We have 
no special agents. Instead of this we have made up 
who came in for books or on other business, and iriio, 
on looking over the paper for a few moments, have de¬ 
cided tliat tliey must hate it. 
Ton can make money In canvassing for 
tlic American Agriculturist. Many persons take hold of 
the work as a business. If yon do not wish tlic Premium 
secured for your own use, it can always be sold; and you 
will see, upon looking over our Preminm List, that but a 
small number of names obtained each day gives you good 
wages, while for 10 names or more a day, yon will receive 
very handsome returns. A lady obtained subscribers 
enough in seven months to secure one of tlie ma-nillcent 
Steinway Pianos, worth $650, and this, too, whilLttend- 
ing to the cares of a family. 
Beautiful and valuable Erescnls maybe 
secured by working for us. You will find on our Premium 
List many articles which arc most useful in a family; ar¬ 
ticles suitable for presents from husband to wife, brotlier 
to sister, children to parents, scholars to teachers. Here 
are opportunities for giving a pleasant surprise to your 
pastor and his wife, by sending them a handsome tea set, 
a valuaWe library, or a sewing macliine. Sunday school 
classes, or scholars in other schools, may secure a beau¬ 
tiful present for tlielr teachers in this way, or a good 
melodeon for their school room. Several Agricultural 
Societies have paid for a large club of subscribers, given 
away the subscriptions as prizes at their exhibitions, or 
supplied tliem to members, and sold the premium ar¬ 
ticles, at auction, for the benent of the treasury. 
Only good artloIes.-We arc careful not 
to jilace upon our list anything for a Fremiurn which is not 
the best, and, in all respects, what is claimed for it. All, 
therefore, who secure premiums,may bemre that they are 
not running the risk of getting poor or indifferent goods. 
Send In the naiiic8 of subfiicrlborH as fast 
as yon obtain them, not waiting to complete your list; 
and to save mistakes in accounts, send the exact subscrip¬ 
tion money with each list; and every name designed 
for a premium list, must be so marked when sent lu. 
Begin Now to raise your clubs. It Is not 
nccesijary tliat all the papers of Premium Clubs slioukl 
go to one office. You can get tliem anywhere. 
Old and New Subscribers will be counted 
in premium lists, but some should be new names, as it 
is to obtain such that premiums are in part ofl’ered. The 
extra copy, usually offered to clubs of ten or twenty, will 
not be furnished when a premium is called for.

a list of valuable articles, m-myof which have been sug¬ 
gested by individuals who liavc worked for us, and all of 
which are good and nsefnl; and from this list any one 
who gets up a club can select the premium desired, and ob¬ 
tain it by sending us the required number of subscribers. 
AVe can Pay much more In Premiums 
than in Cash.—Our purchases by Wholesale, our ar¬ 
rangements with Manufacturers and Dealers for advertis¬ 
ing, etc., enable us to do this. It will be noticed that we 
give each preminm article at the regular price which the 
purchaser would pay for the same. 
F:vcry Premium on our list 1« to he se¬ 
cured by sending us a definite number of 8ub.“cribers. 
There need lie no mistake, therefore, on this point; and 
there can be no fsvcritlsm in the matter, since the same 
nuinoer of subscribers for any particular premium is re¬ 
quired from every one who secures it. 
Post Ofllce IBoncy Orders may be obtain¬ 
ed at nearly every county seat, in all the cities, and in 
many of the large towns. We consider them perfectly 
safe, and tlie best means of remitting fifty dollars or less, 
as many hundreds have been sent to us willuout any loss. 
Registered Fetters, under the newsy.stem, 
which went into effect June 1st, are a very safe 
means of sending small sums of money wlierc P. O. iffon- 
ey Orders cannot be easily obtained. Observe, the Eeg- 
islry fee, as well as postage, must be paid in stamps at 
the office where the letter is mailed, or it will be liable 
to be sent to the Dead Letter Office. Buy and affix the 
stamps both for postage and registry, put in the money and 
seal the letter in the presence of live postmaster, and take his 
receipt for it. Letters sent in this way to us are at our risk. 
Specimen Numbers of tl»e AgrieiiltiiiTst, 
Cards, and Showbills, as may be needed, will be supplied 
to canv.asscrs. These should be economically used, as 
each extra copy of the paper, with postage, (2c.,) which 
must be pre-paid, costs about 12 cents. 
1—«s»r«leM Seeds.—A valuable selec¬ 
tion of 40 varieties of the best seeds for a family garden, 
cacli parcel large enough for a garden of ordinaiy size. 
This premium and the next are put up for us by Messrs. 
B. K. Bliss & Son, Seed and Horticultural Warehouse, 
41 Park Row, (old Agriculturist office,) whose seed 
establishment is well known as one of the best in the 
country. This premium will be of great value and con¬ 
venience to many, especially to those distant from good 
seed stores, as we shall send the seeds post-paid to any 
part of the United States (1^^“ except to those points 
reached only by the Overland Mail.)—In many cases the 
recipient will have enough in each package for his own 
use, and some to spare to members of the club, or others. 
No. 2—IFIower Seeds. —Like No. 1, this 
is a valuable premium. It consists of 100 different 
kinds of beautiful flower seeds, all in separate papers, 
and includes not only the finer common varieties, but 
many of the newer and rarer kinds that are costly when 
bought by the single paper. Each parcel contains the usual 
amount, and they are delivered free, the same as No. 1. 
No person need fall of obtaining Nome one 
of our many l^rumlums. Those who make the attempt 
to raise a club are often surprised at the case with which 
names of subscribers are seenred. The paper is very at¬ 
tractive in appearancf, (notice the great number of bean- 
tifnl and costly engravings in the Oct. paper, which 
is a fair specimen,) and the most hasty glance at it.s 
contents often satisilea one of Its value. We have many 
times received subrtJrijJllons at onr counter from persons 
Every Premium 'article is new and of the very best 
manufacture. No charge i.s made for packing or boxing 
any of ike articles in our Premium List. The .forty- 
four Premiums, Non. 1, 2, 6, and .from 30 to 39, 
and from 50 to 86 inclusive, will each be delivered 
FREE of all charges, by mail or express, (at the Post- 
O.ffice or express o.ffice nearest recipient), to any place in 
the United States or Territories, excepting those reached 
only by the Overland Mail .— The other articles cost the 
recipient only the freight after leaving the manufactory 
of each, by any eoniieyance tliat may be specified. 
IVo. —I^iirscry Sloclc—otc. 
—Tills premium can be selected in anything desired, 
from the Catalogues of Parsons & Co., Flushing, N. Y., 
or of F. K. Pheenix, Bloomington, Ill. Both are 
well known, very reliable parties, h.aving extensive 
Nurseries, Green-Houses, Ornamental Trees and Plants, 
Grape Vines, Shrubs, etc., etc. Send a stamp direct 
to either of them, for their regular catalogues, stating 
that it is to look into the value of this premium, and 
they will be friniished free. Any one choosing this
