YOU CAN HARDLY FAIL TO EARN ONE, IF YOU MAKE AN EFFORT.

When the contest is over, our subscribers may be surprised, to see how small successful clubs may prove to be, and will whh they had joined in the contest.

mes and money as received, mentioning that they are for Clubs, and we will keep an accurate record, aud on May first will award the presents as they shall beloug. The one send 
largest number, whether many or few, as we have said, shall have the magnificent first gift, and so of the next, and the next, through the whole list, wo notifying each successful 
scriber at once. Those persons computing must lw actual subscribers and must secure the names sent, by actual canvass, and not, by advertising or by aid of sub-agents, 
it lieing the express understanding and wish of the donors, that the presents shall go to actual workers for their own use and nob for sale; for this reason actual workers, 
have a capital chance to get ample pay for little work. We don’t think a ohoicer or more valuable lot of gifts were ever before oU’ered, and offered on such fair terms. 
THERE IS ONE OF THEM FOR YOU, WITH A FAIR EFFORT. 
Now, Friends, shall we not all take hold and double the circulation of the best Farm and Home paper in the world? What say you?

friends-, and that the}'can and will go only 
to actual subscribers, ter subscriptions taken 
by themselves individually, and not by sub 
agents, or by advertising outside of their res¬ 
pective comities. Any subxeri ber can engage 
in the good work. Old or new subscribers 
count and may be from different post- 
offices. Bend the subscription with the exact 
amount ($2.00) for each subscriber as fast as 
some one will probably get it for a surprising 
ly low number of names. Who ahull it be? 
thrashing engines can use them during the 
Winter in running one of these mills, and make 
good wages in grinding feed for their neigh¬ 
bors. 
Ah farmers have but little work for their 
teams during those months when th bulk of 
the feeding is done, and as It is conceded that 
four bushels ground, will go aa fur as five fed 
whole, they could make a saving of 25 per 
cent, by using one of these mills; and that 
often makes the difference between loss aud 
profit iu feeding. It ib so simple that 
a boy can rim it and keep It iu the best of 
running order. In fact, the most are sold to, 
and used by, farmers who never ran a mill be¬ 
fore. TheNordyke & Marmon Co.. Indianap¬ 
olis, are the manufacturers. Price $100, and it 
will go to the second largest club. 
No. *2, Farm Feed-Mill. 
This is a complete French buhr-stone mill, 
with 14 inch stones. Each stone is one solid 
piece cemented in an iron case. The stones 
are dressed ready for use, uud will grind from 
8,000 to 10,000 bushel before they will require 
to be re-dressed. No expense is spared in 
making this mill strong and durable, and 
while the construction is such that it cannot 
get out of adjustment, yet it will let a nail or 
other foreign substance pass through without 
serious injury to the mill. It is fitted for 
No. 1, Waller A. Wood Hell' Twine-Bind¬ 
ing Reaper, 
With the Latest Improvements. Price $28u. 
In these days of strong competition and low 
prices for farm produce, the enterprising, pro¬ 
gressive furrner will strive to do all the worn 
possible with machinery. Among the labor- 
savers there Is none that so much relieves the 
pressure upon the tanner and his wife as the 
self-binding reapers. They greatly lessen the 
expense and annoyance of harvesting; and 
No. 3. Champion Wind-mill. 
This is a strong self governing mill, made 
taken. When subscribers want the seeds, say 
so distinctly, sending two cents for each sub¬ 
scriber; or the subscribers may apply for 
themselves. Please mention with each letter 
that the sanies included are for the Gift Dis 
tributiou. This will enable us to keep a cor¬ 
rect record. Bend the money by draft, ex¬ 
press, or postal money order, always payable 
to the Rural New-Yorker. Bums under 
$5.00 may be sent by the new postal notes. 
The gifts will be awarded May Lxt, aud will 
iu all cases be packed aud delivered free to 
the freight or express office in the town where

nection with the description, and the recipi¬ 
ent will in all cases pay the freight or express 
charges.

or that containing thistles or noxious woods, 
iu a better manner thau it could bo done by 
hand; in case of u breakage, or of a rainy 
day, there are not a lot of men to bo fed, and 
to bo abontin the way; it also relieves the 
good wife of the groat labor of boarding a lot 
of ravenous men, during the most exhausting 
season of the year; in fact, it does away with 
the hurry and annoyance incident to the old- 
fashioned harvest, and accomplishes the work 
in a quicker and neater manner than is possi¬ 
ble without it. Of all the machines made, 
none has been more successful or more 
reliable than tbo Wood; and its bundle-carry - 
ing arrangement is n new feature of great 
value. Through the great liberality and 
kindness of the manufacturers, the Walter A. 
Wood Mowing and Reaping-Machine Compa¬

ure of offering it to the subscriber who sends
