“Gumption” and Practice. 
No. 12 .—A very little of Yankee “gumption,” 
with a small amount of practice, often without it, will 
save many an hour, much worry, and a great many dol¬ 
lars in a few years. Tinware is now very largely used 
for many purposes. It is really only sheet-iron, covered 
with a thin coat of tin, and wherever the tin wears off, 
the iron quickly rusts. Pails, pans, indeed any tin arti¬ 
cle much used, will inevitably leak sooner or later. It is 
easy to mend the holes if taken in hand as soon as they 
begin to leak, and thus save time, waiting, bother, and 
expense of sending articles off to town. A trifle of 
gumption, a few directions, a little practice, and a small 
assortment of tools, will enable any man, woman, or in¬ 
telligent child to do nine-tenths of all the soldering 
needed in a household. For $1.50 we send, post-paid, to 
the nearest or remotest Post Office in the United States 
or Territories, the— 
This is a covered box, containing a Soldering Iron (with 
copper head, pointed and tinned), a Bar of Solder, and a 
Box of Soldering Salts; also printed directions for using 
them. Let every boy and girl learn to solder. Extra 
solder is easily obtained by mail when needed.—We 
Present the above, post-paid, for 2 subscriptions at 
^ $1.50 each. This is a very popular Premium. 
Four Health Preservers. 
Nearly every fit of illness is brought on or superin¬ 
duced by “catching cold," and getting “wet through” 
is the most certain means of arriving at this result. In¬ 
dia Rubber Clothing is the greatest preventive against 
dampness and chilliness, which are often the direct 
means of great pecuniary loss through waste of time and 
the doctor’s bill. 
No. 13.—Rubber Cap, with Cape.— 
Price $1.50.—This is a perfect protection for the head, 
neck,and shoulders 
in wet weather. A 
roof in front of the 
cap keeps off a 
great deal of rain 
from the face,while 
the opening is just 
large enough for 
seeing and breath¬ 
ing purposes. We 
can send a good 
Cap to any address 
in theUnited States 
by mail, post-paid, 
for $1.50: OR, we will Present one, post-paid, for 2 
subscriptions at $1.50 each. Send your size in inches, 
hat dealers’ measure, or where the hat encircles the head. 
No. 14.—Rubber Sack Coat.— Price $6.00. 
—This Coat is desirably light, weighing only 16 to 20 
ounces, according to the size. It 
is strong, durable, and thoroughly 
water-proof. These coats are made 
in different lengths, so, in order¬ 
ing, it is necessary to state your 
full hight, weight, and size around 
the body just below the arms. We 
will send a coat in a neat rubber 
pouch (which is most convenient 
for keeping or carrying it in) to 
any P. O. in the United States, or 
Territories, post-paid, on receipt 
of the price; OR, we will Pre¬ 
sent it, post-paid, for 8 sub¬ 
scriptions at $1.50 each. Double 
interest at 6 per cent makes this 
admirable article cost only 72 cents per year, or 1 cent 
for 5 days. This it will more than repay during a single 
storm. 
No. 15.—Rubber Leggins. —Price $ 2 . 00 .— 
Severe colds are often caught in long grass after rain or 
a heavy dew. These leggins are the 
best means of protecting the legs from 
wet, as they are perfectly water-proof, 
and at the same time they are comfort¬ 
ably light, weighing only 5 or 6 ounces, 
according to the size required. We 
will send a pair, post-paid, for 3 sub¬ 
scriptions at $1.50 each; OR, supply 
them for the price, forwarding them, 
post-paid, to any address in the United 
States. In ordering, state whether 
large, small, or medium size is re¬ 
quired. 
No. 16.—Combined Rub¬ 
ber Outfit. — Price $9.00.—The 
above-described Cap, Coat, and Leg- 
gins, together, form a most complete wet-weather cos¬ 
tume (with the addition of rubber overshoes which any 
man possesses), and we will furnish the three, as a Com¬ 
bination Premium for 11 subscriptions at $1.50 each; 
OR, send them to any one address in the United States 
or Territories, post-paid, for $9.00. This is a particu¬ 
larly valuable premium, as any man who has caught cold 
and had doctors’ bills to pay realizes to his cost. The 
double interest on this complete suit is only 2 cents a 
week. Weight, 2*4 lbs., medium size. 
N o. I 7.-Ladies’ Waterproof Circular. 
—Price $4.50.—Best quality waterproof, of superior man¬ 
ufacture, from the Goodyear Rub¬ 
ber Co. A reliable and valuable 
article,“feather weight,”—so light 
as to be conveniently carried in a 
lady’s pocket or hand-satchel. 
Waterproof Circulars are offered 
at $3.00, but these low-priced 
goods are dear in the end, pos¬ 
sessing defects which are not per¬ 
ceptible until after a few weeks’ 
wear. Those made by the Good¬ 
year Rubber Co. will prove to be 
durable, therefore really cheap. 
No lady who is likely to go out in 
wet weather should be without 
one. Accompanying it is a small rubber pouch, into 
which it fits, making a neat, compact parcel. We will 
select such a cloak and send it, post-paid, to any part of 
the United States for $4.50; OR, Present one for 6 
subscriptions at $1.50 each, post-paid. Send your meas¬ 
ure, from neck to bottom of walking-dress, or name 
length desired, from neck down. These Circulars vary 
lrom 50 to 60 inches in length. 
A Splendid Light. 
No. 18 Good eyesight is of the utmost importance 
to every one. At least 90 per cent of all the poor and de¬ 
fective eyesight, loss of sight, and early resort to specta¬ 
cles, comes from using poor lamps and candles. Not 
one in five hundred of all the lamps used, until recently, 
furnished a first-rate light. Flickering, however slight, 
is a constant strain upon the delicate organs of vision, 
and so is any frequent change in brilliancy. Ordinary 
lamps consume but part of the oil, a part escaping as 
invisible, unconsumed carbon, or lamp-black.—All of 
these defects are avoided 
in the "German Student 
Lamp," as it is called. 
The double reservoir 
upon the right is ar¬ 
ranged to let out the oil 
just as fast as it is con¬ 
sumed, keeping it always 
at the same level near 
the wick, and produces a 
uniform flame, with no 
flickering. The Argand 
burner, with the tall 
chimney, having a con¬ 
tracted neck, gives a 
strong inside draft,which 
consumes all the oil, and 
gives out a very clear, 
fine light. This com¬ 
plete burning of the oil, 
with plenty of air oxygen 
outside and in, makes 
the lamp economical, while the light is perfection. With 
these lamps, as now improved, we would not accept gas 
as a gift, except for some special purposes.—We can now 
supply the larger size complete, with white glass shade, 
chimney, etc, for $5 in polished brass, or for $6, finely 
nickel plated; OR, Present the former for 7, and 
the latter for 8 subscriptions to American Agriculturist 
at $1.50 each, carriage to be paid by recipient (25 cents 
extra for boxing, when to go by freight or express). 
Twenty Tools in One. 
No. 19.-“ Take care of the pennies, and the dol¬ 
lars will take care of themselves,” is a trite saying, but 
it means a great deal. Saving time is money, and the 
minutes and quarter hours are equally important. A few 
simple tools, always at hand, are a wonderful time-saver 
in the field, about the house, on the road, anywhere and 
everywhere. Next to the “Multum-in-Parvo Knife” 
(No. 67), we rank the Pocket Tool Holder. The 
hollow handle, of strong wood, with a heavy metal 
screw shank, is about 6 inches long, and 1% inch diame¬ 
ter at the large end, and is easily carried in the pocket. 
The round cap unscrews, and packed within are some 20 
little steel tools, such as screw-driver, chisels, gouges, 
brad-awls of various sizes, and other kinds of tools, 
each one of which will often come into active use. 
Anyone desired is quickly taken out, inserted in the 
clamp end, when a turn of the metal shank holds it 
firmly for use. We send the whole to any State or Ter¬ 
ritory, post-paid, for $1; OR, we Present it, post-paid, 
for 2 subscriptions at $1.50 each. 
No. 20.—Crumb Tray and Brush.— 
Price $1.00.—Prettily painted, and very popular. Both 
sent, post-paid, for 2 subscriptions at $1.50 each; OR, 
supplied for the price. 
Good Clocks, Good Lamps, and Good Rubber Clothing everybody should have
