PREMIUM LIST —1863. 
Good Pay to Voluntary Agents who attend to 
Collecting and forwarding Clubs of Subscribers 
to the American Agriculturist. 
(Premiums open to all who Desire tlieiu.) 
IV. 15 —The great advance in the cost of some of 
the Articles offered in our Premium List, renders it 
necessary to republish the list with the needed changes. 
For some of the articles we now pay half as much 
again as we did when the list was first made out for 
this year. When asked to do so, we adhere to the 
terms offered in the January number, up to February 
lsf, after which the terms wiU be as named below. It 
vjill be seen that we have not raised the number of 
names required proportionally, as much as the in¬ 
creased cost of the articles yjould really demand. The 
following terms will hold good until June 1st, when 
other changes will be announced if needed. 
Cl?'All Premiums offered, of every kind, will 
close witli the Month of July.

wish it distinctly understood that these 
premiums are offered in good faith—no cheap, trashy, im¬ 
perfect, poorly made, or second-hand thing, will be sent 
out, but each article offered, is the best of its kind , 
Every person collecting names for premiums, should 
send two copies of each list of names—one of them marked 
“For Premiums,’’and also with the name of the sender. 
ZFT Any person who has commenced sending in names at 
80c. and finally fails to get the higher number of names, can 
fall back upon the smaller number, by remitting the 20 cents 
extra on each of the smaller number of names required. 
Z3T Clubs need not be all confined to one Post Office. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREMIUMS. 
Premium No. 1—Good Books. 
Any person sending 16 or more subscribers, may select 
from our booklist, (page 159,) to the amount of 12 y< cents for 
each name, at the club price of 80 cents, or to the amount of 
83X cents for each name at $1. Farmers’ Clubs have 
frequently joined together and obtained a good library 
through these premiums. N. B.—The books will be deliver¬ 
ed to the recipients, (by mail or express,) free of all cost, 
when under 1,500 miles. For Books going over 1,500 miles, 
18 cents on each dollar’s worth must be sent to us to pay the 
extra postage required in advance. 
235^* As the prices of books are continually changing, the 
book premiums will be reckoned by the prices given in the 
list for the month in which they are called for. 
'WJfcTANTED—By a young man, obliged to give up 
» * a professional life, a situation with some good farmer 
or nurseryman, the latter preferred, to learn the business. 
The advertiser has had some experience in both. Good ref¬ 
erences given and asked. Address, with real name, A. M., 
Locustville, Accomac Co., Va. 
No. 2—Family Clotlics-Wringer. 
This is a first-rate household implement—a great saver of 
garments, and of hard work. With this machine set on the 
edge of the wash-tub, the garments are easily and rapidly 
passed between two India-rubber rollers, the water fall¬ 
ing back into the tub, and the garments dropping into a 
basket, in a drier condition than they can be wrung by 
hand, and therefore more quickly dried on the line. A 
child can, in a few minutes, WTing out a tubful of clothes. 
We have had one in constant use in our family for nearly 
three j'ears, and it is still as good as new. The machine 
offered, No. 2, is just the thing for family use. It is provided 
with cogs to move the rollers together, so that it is not pos¬ 
sible to tear garments, as is the case with cheaper Wringers 
not provided with cogs. We present one of these No. 2 Wring¬ 
ers to any person procuring and forwarding 19 subscribers, 
at $1 each, or 40 at the lowest club price, (SO cents each.) 
Premium No. 3—Washing Machine, 
The Nonpareil Washing Machine we have had in 
use in our family for over a year past, and it has not only 
driven out half-a-dozen placed there on trial, but has really 
given excellent satisfaction. It is the only machine, out ot 
twenty we have tried, which the “help” cheerfully use with¬ 
out compulsion. It is a labor-saver and a clothes-saver—two 
important considerations. The clothes are put in, in quantity 
and quickly washed by simply turning a crank. The 
balance-wheel adjusts the force required, so as to make the 
turning easy. Take it all in all, it is the best Washing Ma¬ 
chine we know of, and is worthy of a place in every family. 
There are three sizes; we select No. 2, as the best size lor 
common family use. The price of No. 2 is $16. This ma¬ 
chine we will present to any one forwarding 35 subscribers 
at the regular price ($1 each); or 75 subscribers at the 
lowest club price, (80 cents.) The machine can be sent to 
any point as freight, or by express, and will be forwarded, 
free of all expense, except the freight after leaving the city. 
Premium No. 4—Scwing Machine. 
99 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 130 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person sending them to Wheeler dc. Wilson's best 
$45 Sewing Machine, (including Ilemmer), new 
from the factory, and of the very best make. There is no 
better family machine than this made, as we have proved by 
nearly five years’ use in our own family, in connection with 
other machines. We want no better. The terms on 
which it is offered above, will enable many families to se¬ 
cure one without direct outlay of money. 
Premium No. 5«-§ewing Machine. 
79 Subscribers at $1 each, (or 112 at 80 cents each,) will 
entitle the person procuring them to Willcoo c dc Gibbs' §40 
Sewing Machine, including a set of Hemmcrs. 
This is the best machine of its kind, (sewing with one thread,) 
and has several points superior to other machines. 
Premiums Nos. 13 to 18—Back Volumes—A 
First-rate Library. 
These premiums (13 to 18,) will enable any one to secure 
the previous excellent volumes of the American Agricultur¬ 
ist, as far back as Volume XVI. These will be sent post¬ 
paid, in clean, new numbers unbound, but each volume by 
itself, with index. The whole five can be taken together, or 
one or more copies of any particular volume be selected, 
as desired. They will be presented as in the Table above. 
Let every one be careful to name just which back volumes 
are desired. 
Premium No. 19—Best File for Agriculturist. 
•Jacobs’ Portfolio File, made just to fit the Agri¬ 
culturist—the name gilded on. This is a leather cover or 
portfolio, so arranged that successive numbers of the paper 
can be inserted in a minute, and be properly preserved in 
book form for reading. When one volume is completed, the 
sheets can be removed and stitched, and a new volume in¬ 
serted. A single cover will answer for a dozen successive 
volumes. It Is the most complete file 3 r et made. The price 
now Is $1.25, and the postage 23 cents. We will forward it, 
post-paid, to any one sending fourteen subscribers, at the 
lowest club price, (80 cents each.)
