THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
651 
Regular Premium List. 
T AST year the Rural New-Yorker adopted a new Premium plan. A few standard articles known to he first-class in all respects were 
j described and illustrated, while rates were given to show how easily agents could obtain them. It was intended that these articles 
should simply serve as representatives, giving an idea of the rates that would be offered on other articles not named in the printed list. 
This plan worked so well that it is proposed to continue it this year. We, therefore, give rates on a few articles, and announce our willing¬ 
ness to give similar terms on 
ANY AMERICAN ARTICLE. 
The Rural New-Yorker goes to a class of practical, business people who do not care for the cheap “ novelties ” so generally offered 
as premiums by farm papers. We find that our readers know what they want in the way of tools or household articles. It is never neces¬ 
sary for us to select premiums for them. It is our business to make such terms that the reader or agent will find a paying business in 
making up a club of subscribers. And this is just exactly what the Rural New-Yorker can do—to better advantage, perhaps, than any 
other farm journal in the land. 
REMEMBER THAT WE WILL SUPPLY ANYTHING J IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT IT MAY BE. 
The few r articles that are described in the following pages are standard. There is nothing cheap or shoddy there. We prefer to handle 
reliable goods made by responsible parties. The Rural New-Yorker 
NEVER SELLS THESE ARTICLES, 
And does not care to make anything from handling them. We are simply in the market for new subscribers. If you can obtain these 
subscribers you can have all the profit other papers would make on the articles. 
Special Clubbing Combinations 
Are also offered in connection with the Rural New-Yorker. It will pay all who desire to take more than one paper to secure our terms 
before ordering. As in years past, our clubbing specialties will be the Rural New-Yorker in connection with either of the following 
weekly papers: 
CHICAGO INTER-OCEAN, NEW YORK WORLD, DETROIT FREE PRESS 
Vve can also give the lowest possible clubbing rates on the Rural New-Yorker combined with any other paper or collection of papers.

Given for One Xew Subscription, l'ostnice Paid. 
This is a tool that every dairyman should 
have. We have offered it before so that 
our readers know what it is. It is simple 
enough to suit anybody; it is accurate 
enough to save you a great many dollars 
during the course of the year. How? It 
will enable you to pick out your best cows, 
because it will show you flow one cow in 
your herd compares with auother. Very 
likely you have been feeding good hay and 
grain to cows that are unable to make suit¬ 
able returns. Stop such business. Dis¬ 
charge the poor cows. This tester is the 
detective that will establish their crime be¬ 
yond a doubt. For only one subscriber.

This is a complete little library in itself. It 
is of handy size and shape, and it contains 
just the words needed in every-day conversa¬ 
tion or reading. Every chdd iu the country 
ought to have one of these little dictionaries 
as a part of its school-book outfit. A teacher 
can do no kinder act for his pupils than to 
encourage them in the habit of consulting a 
dictionary whenever they have the least doubt 
as to the proper spelling or real meaning of a 
word met with in conversation or reading. 
This habit may be considered as being the 
most important part of the foundation of a 
thorough education. This little dictionary 
will lead to a thoroughness and carefulness 
that will be felt all through life. As will be 
noticed in auother column, we offer Webster’s 
Unabridged Dictionary at a rate that should 
make it very easy for school districts to sup¬ 
ply their schools wiikthis invaluable volume
