r3/“0cu Extra pRKMiirus.—It. is not too late to enter the 
arena of competition lor nor Extra Premiums (ace list in last 
RCKAI..) as but comparatively few, (not fifty,) of the two 
hundred and fifty offered have been secured up to this date— 
Dee. 16. Now's the Time to secure the Extras, and make a good 
start on the other Premiums! 
Anorr opr Cut it P.ati-s — Itri' flv -—Two or t hree persons 
have written ns, objecting to our tncrease of club rates, and 
others offating us *>l 25 per copy for 20 to 50 copieB. To such 
and all similar objections and proposals, we have only to say 
toe are now losing mon-\i on everp eopv furnished at said rate, 
(and we are supplying between ifi.000 and 30,000 copies at the 
losing price;) lienee have no desire to make further investments 
of that, character. If we can supply the Rural to clubs at $1.50 
per copy, without losing money, we shall be agreeably disap- 
poiated It is useless to write us about lower rates—a waste of 
time and stationery. Better send ua $3 per copy for next year 
to aid us in making up losses on papers furuishad. 
Bhwirr o? Prrtxnpkd AfiKXTe!—We hare often cautioned 
the public against pretended traveling agents for the Ritual, as 
wo employ none, yet frequently hear of people being swindled 
by those claiming to act for us. A letter received to-day (Dec. 
18,1 from a local agent in Washtenaw Co., Mich., says that a 
young scamp has for some time been eanvasxing in that county, 
pledging himself t.o send the Rfkal and pay postage for 81 a 
year, thaugJi he is now charging $1251 Our friend adds—"Many 
of my club have been taken in by him, and yet, like tho pirate 
Alabama, he is at large, 1 am told that he has already col¬ 
lected some two or three hundred dollars." We can't believe 
that the people of Washtenaw are quite so gullible as that; if 
bo, they need the RriiAt,. Of course this expose is almost use¬ 
less as only non-subscribers are the victims of the swindle—yet 
we repeat that any traveler profeasing to hold a certificate o 
agency for the Rural is an impostor. v 
tar ASsooiATBD Effort loads to success in canvassing for 
periodicals, as well as in other enterprises. F or instance, if you 
are forming (or wish to form) a club for the Rr R A I. Nbw- 
Yorkkr, and cannot fill it up in your own neighborhood, get 
some person or persona a few miles distant to join with or assist 
you — adding their names to those you may procure, aud send¬ 
ing all together. 
Arm e nit to Tttitxts.—Wo endeavor ti adhere strictly to sub¬ 
scription terms, and no person is authorised, to ofl’er the Rural at 
less than puhHshed rates. Agents and friends are at liberty to 
give away as many copies ol' the Rural as they arc disposed to 
pay foe nt club rate, but we do not wish the paper offered, in 
any case, below price. 
Chanor of AriPRRSS — Subscribers wishing the address 
of their papers changed from one Post-Office to another, must 
specify the old address aa well as the nevi to secure compliance. 
If7~ No Traveling Agents are employed by us, as we wish 
to give tbe whole field to local and club agents.

The Illinois Central Railroad Company offer, ON LONG CREDIT, the beautiful and 
fertile PRAIRIE LANDS lying along tho whole lino of their Railroad, 700 MILES 
IN LENGTH, upon themost Favorable Terms for enabling Farmers, Manufac¬ 
turers, Mechanics and Workingmen to make for themselves and their fam¬ 
ilies a competency, and a HOME they can call THEIR OWN, as will 
appear from the following statements: 
ILLINOIS.

lation of 1,722,6150, and a soil capable ®f supporting 20,

Inofa. i’hero is no part of tho world whore all the condi¬ 
tions of cltmnto arid soil so admirably couibiuo lo pro¬ 
duce thofio two great staples, Corn and Wheat.

.NowIpm'O can tho industrious farmer sccuro such im- 
mediuto results from Ufa labor as on Uicsa deep, rich,' 
loamy soils, cultivated with so ranch ease. Tho climnto 
from the extrema southern part of the .State to tho Torro 
Haute, Alton and St. T,ouis Railroad, a distaimu of near¬ 
ly 200 miles, fa well adapted to Winter. 
WHEAT, COEN, COTTON, TOBACCO. 
Peaches, I'cars, Tomatoes, and every variety of fruit 
anil vegetables is grown in great abundance, from 
which Gliicngo and other Northern markets are fur- 
nishad from four to six weeks earlier than their Immo- 
dunn vfani'ty. Between the Terre Haute, Alton and St. 
I-ouis Hallway and thn Kankakee amt Illinois Kivcrs, 
(a iiistanou of 115 miles on tlio Drauch, and 138 miles 
on the Main Trunk,) lies tho groat Corn and Stock rais¬ 
ing portion of the State. 
THE ORDINARY YIELD 
of Com is from 50 to 80 bushels per acre. Cattle, 
Horses, Mules, Shwp and Hogs ur*> raised hero at a 
small cost, ami yield largo profits. It is believed that 
no section of country presents greater iwiuoeraenls for 
Dairy Farming.than the Prairies of Illinois, a blanch of 
f irming io which but little attention has boon paid, and 
which must yield sure profitable results, Between 
in* Kankakee aud Illinois Rivets, ami Chicago amt

miles by Ute Maiu Trunk,) Timothy Hay, Spring Wheat, 
Corn, 
OATS, BARLEY, RYE, BUCKWHEAT, 
And vegetables suited in the climate, are produced in great 
abundance. The northern portion <>J Illinois is ubuut the 1 
climate of Fensylvaniu , while the, southern part, has the 
climate of Kentucky and Virginia, giving a variety of 
temperature, in the. State, suited to almost entry product if 
the United Stales. 
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. 
Tim Agricultural products or Illinois arc greater than 
those of any other State. Tim W lie it crop ol' 1861 Was 
estimated at 85,000,000 bnaliols, while tlm Corn crop 
yields hot less than 140,000,01)0 bushels besides the 
crop of Oats, Barley, Ryo, Buckwheat, Potatoes, Sweet 
Potatoes, Pumpkins, Squashes, Flax, Hemp, Peas, Clo¬ 
ver, Cabbage, Beets, Tobacco, Sorgheira, Graces, 
Peaoliee, Apples, Ar,, which go to swell the vast aggre¬ 
gate of production In tills fertile region. Over Four 
Million tons of produce were sect out the State of Illinois 
during thu past year. 
STOCK RAISING. 
In Central and Southern Illinois uncommon advan¬ 
tages are presented for the extension of Stock raising. 
All kinds of Cattle, Horses, Mules, riheep, Hogs, to:., of 
the best breeds, yield handsome profits ; largo fortunes 
have already been made, and tliu field is Open fur others 
to etuer with the fairest prospects of like results. Daiht 
Faiuiing also prcsunlR it.-; imiucenionts to many. 
CULTIVATION OP COTTON. 
The experiments in Cutie/n culture arc. of very great 
promise.. Commencing in latitude 3d deg. 30 min. (see 
Mixthum on the Branch, end Assumption on lie Vain 
Line ), the Company owns tlosgsands of acres vrll adapted 
lof.hr. perfection of this fibre. A settler having a, family 
of young children. ran turn their youthful labor to a most 
profitable account iu thegrowth and pcrjcction <f this plant. 
MINING AND MANUFACTURES. ’* 
The great resources of the State, iu Coal, Iron. Load, 
7,Inc, Pottor’S Clay, Limestone, Sandstone, kr.., .Vo., are 
almost untouched ; they awn.lt. tho arrival of enterpris¬ 
ing and energetic men accustomed to convert them into

RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS. 
Railroads intersect the whole State $H7i ,000,000 lias 
been invested iu completing the great net-work that 
links every part of the Statu into immediate connection 
with the surrounding States and tho direettfit thorough¬ 
fares of commerce. 
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD 
Traverses tho whole length of tho State, from the banks 
of tha Mississippi and Ijiko Michigan to the Ohio.— 
As its name imports, tho Railroad runs through the cen¬ 
tra of tho Plate, and on either side of tho road along Its 
w'nofa length lio the lands offered for sale. 
TO ACTUAL SETTLERS. 
From tho unprecedented advantages this Company 
offers, it is not surprising that it should have already 
disposed 1,300,000 acres of land. It ie now selling at 
lira rata of 5,000 acres per week. The population along 
the Imohas trebled, ra tan years, and fa now 814,801.— 
The Company sell to actual cultivators, aud every con¬ 
tract contains an agreement lo cultivate. 
CITIES, TOWNS, MARKETS. DEPOTS, 
There are Ninety-eight Depots on thn Company’s Rail¬ 
way, giving about ouu every seven miles. Cities, Towns 
anil Vflliages are situated at convenient distances 
throughout iho wliulti route, where every desirable 
commodity ratty bo found as readily as in the oldest 
cities of the Union,and where buyers are to he met 
for all kinds of farm produce. 
EDUCATION.

large revenue for tie- support of the schools, Children 
can llvo In sight of Iho school, the college, the church.,

No uuo who Ima visited this splendid region of coun¬ 
try can doubt that it equal-; the most t'avurtul descrip¬ 
tions that have ever been given of il ; but fat any care¬ 
ful observer visit it, and lie will inform .you that, the 
half has not been told of tin' advantages it. offers for im- 
medinto occupation and immediate returns, and it is be¬ 
lieved, that if these surpassing .advantages wore mudo 
known to tlm farmers, mechanics, innuul'aotiiror.s and

would promptly avail themselves of the knowledge.
