FOR I*REMIIJMS. 
GOOD WORK AND SORE PAY. 
If any proof Im needed that ranvaMNina: j 
for this paper pays, we can refer to the large nnmber of 
persons who have already sent ns suhscribers’ names 
«noagh for volume 27, (lSt58,) to secure valuable Pre- 
jniums, and many of whom are still at work, determined 
to obtain more of them. Just now I* tlio liar- j 
•vent time for eans'axRerj*. Wo count both new 
and old subscribers’ names ou premium lists. With the 
present number, about 100,000 siibscription.s expire. 
These subscrilKJrs may be found In almost every city and 
town and village. While a large number will r«'ncw their 
subscriptions as a matter of course, without waiting for 
an invitation ftom any quarter, there will still bo tens of 
thousands who will need a nminder which they will 
gladly receive, and subscribe as soon ns their attention is 
called to it. All that Is needetl to seenre large clnhs in 
any town of considerable size, and many subscribers, too. 
In the smaller places. Is oiierKy and civility. With 
these, names enough can readily Iks obtalneil for one or 
more of the valuable articles named in our Premium List 
in the next column. (See October Agriculluriit for de¬ 
scription of articles, or send for a prlntc<l Premlnm List, 
which will be forwarded free to all applicants.) 
Don’t be afraid to start a Club becanise 
a small one has already been made up in your town. There 
is room for more as long as there is a family to bo found 
without the paper. And remember, besides, that the 
names of your club need not all be at your own Post-Of- 
flee. Get them wherever they can Ik; got. 
Your work will bo well paid for In Pre¬ 
miums. Look over the lUt, and see how small a number 
of subscribers seenres a very valuable and nseftil article. 
Thousands of persons have received these Premiums. 
Your name can be added to the number of snccessAil 
canvassers. Will you make money in this way ? 
Road over ag;aln,nnd tliink and act iipoit 
the suggestions in the “ Few Words for Everybo<ly," on 
page 392, November AgricuUitriU. 
Notice tlic word at the lioad of tlio lllua- 
Irated column, on page 430 of this number, and the re¬ 
marks which follow ; and if you are an old subscriber, 
whoso subscription now expires, please send us your 
name for the next year, and, if possible, several new 
names, or a Premium Club, or at least one, other name. 
You can rccoinniciid tlic paper wltli con¬ 
fidence. No person, who has seen a copy, will deny that 
onr regular rates arc very low for a paper so expensive to 
the publishers. A'ou need not hesitate to promise much 
for the future', for we give the assurance that it shall be 
worth far more than our readers have to pay for It. 
■\Ve can Pay mucli more In PrcniliiniK 
than in Cash.—Our purchases by Wholc.‘‘alc, onr ar¬ 
rangements with Manufacturers and Dealers for advertis¬ 
ing, etc., enable us to do tills. It will Ikb noticed that we 
give each premium article at the re.gular jirlce which the 
purchaser would pay for the same. 
Every Prcinliiin on our ll«it Is to be se¬ 
cured by sending us a definite nnmber of subscribers. 
There need lie no mistake, therefore, on this point; and 
there can be no favoritism in the matter, since the same 
number of subscribers for any particular premium is re¬ 
quired from every one who seenres it.

extra copy, usually offered to clubs of ten or twenty, will 
not be furnished when a premium is called for. 
Every Premium article is new and of the very best

any of the article* in our Premium List. The forty- 
four Premiums. Noa, 1, 2, 0) ami from 30 to 39^

amount to a large and valuable Library ou all matters 
pertaining to the Farm, Garden, and Household, and con¬ 
tain more 5aried Infonnatlon on these subjects than can 
be obtainctl in books costing three times the money. Wo 
have stereotype plates from the Sixteenth to the Twenty- 
fifth Volume complete, and will luvo Volume ‘4il soon 
after Dix-. Ist. From these plates we print as needed. 
The price of the volumes is $ld)0 each, at the office, or 
$1.73 if sent hy mail, as they must be post-juild. They am 
put up in clean numbers, with the Index to each volume.. 
-They are profusely Illustrated, the Engravings 
used in them having alone cost about Twenty Thousand 
Dollars 1 Those obtaining premiums for fhim one to ten 
5‘olumes, can select any 5‘olumcs desired, from XVI to 
XXVI, inclusive. For ordinary use, the sets of numlicrs 
unbound will answer quite well.—Many huudreds of 
these 5‘olumcs are taken every year as premiums.

—In these premiums, wo offer a choice of Ifookw for 
the Farm, <;ardcii, and llonacliold. The per¬ 
son entitled to any one of the premiums 74 to 85, may 
select any b<x>k8 desiri'd from the list below, to the 
amount of the premiums, and the books will be forward¬ 
ed. paid through to the nearest Post-Office, or Express 
office, as we may And it most convenient to wnd tbciu. 
We need not enlarge upon these i)remlums ; every ono 
knows the value of goo<l books. Twenty-live or Fifty 
dollars' 5vorth of books on subjects jK-rtainlng to the farm 
5 vlll give the boys now ideas, set them to thinking and 
observing, and thus enable them to make their heads 
help their hands. Any good lKK>k will, in the end, be of 
far more 5 ‘alnc to a youth than to have an extra acre of 
land, on coming to maturity. The tliinking, reasoning, 
obBer 5 ing man, 5vlll certainly make more off from 49 
acres, than be would off from 60 acres without the men¬ 
tal ability which reading will give him.-Onr premiums 
will enable many a fhmlly to secure a larger or smaller Li¬ 
brary. 'Tbl* •" * ftnoA opportunity for the farmers
