clear these articles out, to oiler them as Premiums, on the most liberal terms ever known in 
agricultural journalism^This offer will not Interfere with any in our Regular Premium List. It 
will hold good only for Subscriptions sent in between this date and May 1, 1887. Subscriptions sent 
in previous to this date will not be counted, and the offer will positively close May 1. 
Remember that the number of these articles is limited. Those who propose to work for them 
should write us at once. It will be “first come first served.”

Farmer’s Friend Crain Drill. 
This splendid implement, retails at $85. It is a nine-hoe machine with all modern 
improvements and first-class in every way. A good grain drill is a necessity on every 
farm where any quantity of grain is raised. A good drill sows the grain easily, evenly 
and well, and in improved farming, where not only wheat and oats, but corn, beans, 
beets, etc., can all be planted by machinery, a drill such as we oiler is more, of a neces¬ 
sity than ever. This drill has given the best of satisfaction wherever it has been 
used. To each implement is altatched either the force feed or vibrator fertilizer at¬ 
tachment. Either of these will give satisfaction. Our readers are invited to inves¬ 
tigate the merits of these drills. They are fully illustrated and described in the cata¬ 
logue of the Farmer's Friend Manufacturing Co., Dayton, Ohio. They are guaran¬ 
teed in every way, and the man who secures one of them will enjoy a long period of 
satisfaction. A drill for 25 subscribers is the most remarkable premium ever heard 
of. We repeat that we have only a limited number of them. Those who propose to 
work for them should notify us at once. “A word to the wise is sufficient.”
