HOW TO 
SAVE & MAKE 
MONEY. 
We are constantly in receipt of such letters as 
the following: 
A Ten Tears’ Subscription. 
Sunbury, Pa., Oct. 6, 1S83. 
Publishers American Agriculturist; 
Dear Sirs:— Enclosed please And Post Office order for 
fifteen dollars. My present subscription expires with 
the December number. Yours truly, H. Long. 
Rugby, Tenn., Sept. 25, 1S83. 
I am grateful for the many good things received 
through the American Agriculturist during a ten years’ 
trial of it. Yours truly, M. S. Percival. 
Stanwood, Iowa, Sept. 26, 1S83. 
I am better pleased with every number of the American 
Agriculturist. Yours truly, J. W. Barclay. 
Baden, Pa., Sept. 28, 18S3. 
Please continue my subscription to the American Agri¬ 
culturist indefinitely. It is the best paper of the kind I 
have ever seen. Yours truly, C. W. Campbell. 
Justus, Lack’a Co., Pa., Sept. 24, 1883. 
Dear Sirs:—I write you a few lines to inform you how 
much I esteem the American Agriculturist. I have taken 
it sixteen years out of seventeen, and find it invaluable. 
I think it the best agricultural paper that I am acquaint¬ 
ed with ; it has saved me many times its cost in follow¬ 
ing its teachings. For instance, it was through the 
American Agriculturist that I was first induced to set 
milk in deep pans, saving me in time and money proba¬ 
bly one hundred dollars. I have also got a fine lot of 
thoroughbred poultry, from which I make a good profit, 
mainly'through the teachings of your paper, and I could 
name many other things where it has saved me ten times 
its cost. You may count me a life-long subscriber, and 
I shall endeavor to aid you in increasing your subscrip¬ 
tion list as much as I can. 
Yours truly, Geo. F. Miller. 
William M. Bradley writes us from East Bloomfield, 
New York, as follows: 
There is not a single number of the American Agri¬ 
culturist but contains one or more suggestions worth 
more than the whole year’s subscription. It is hailed in 
our home, by the youngest as well as the oldest, as a 
most welcome and delightful visitor. Long life to the 
American Agriculturist, and may it continue to do good 
and enlighten the minds of the farming people, and make 
farming a delightful and educating, as well as a remuner¬ 
ative calling.” 
There are hundreds of thousands of farmers 
all over this broad land to-day, who have both 
saved and made money through the hints, sug¬ 
gestions, and general information which they 
have obtained in the columns of the American 
Agriculturist. It is a medium through which sub¬ 
scribers make known to each other new facts, new 
labor contrivances, etc., etc. Furthermore, we 
have a very able corps of Editors and regular con¬ 
tributors, who are paid by us to gather information 
for the benefit of our readers. We venture to say 
that every subscriber of ten years will tell you that 
he has saved and made ten times ten dollars and a 
half from reading the American Agriculturist. 
There is still another way in which you can make 
money; viz., by securing subscribers for this 
paper. Every present subscriber has neighbors 
and friends who can readily be persuaded to take 
this paper. 
We offer in the way of Premiums the best 
of inducements and rewards to secure those 
neighbors and friends as subscribers. There are 
very many people all over the United States who 
earn these Premiums in this manner and turn them 
into cash, thereby making good wages during the 
autumn, winter and spring months. A single per¬ 
son in Illinois, last year, sent us over three thou¬ 
sand subscribers, receiving in return a vast number 
of Premiums from us. In this great Premium List 
you will find very many useful articles for your 
Farm, Garden, and Household, which you will 
wish to keep instead of turning into cash. 
The necessary Sample Copies, Circulars, and an 
extra Premium List, if desired, will be sent to 
every person who desires to canvass for subscribers.

Milk and Cream. 
INTERESTING TO 
DAIRYMEN 
Keeps Thirty to Fifty-Nine Days. 
.Edward Burnett's Deerfoot Farm cream lias been sent 
to Europe to different responsible people, who report 
that from thirty to fifty-nine days after it was treated 
with “Rex” in Boston, it was eaten in England. Italy 
and Switzerland sweet and perfect! Six jars were con¬ 
secutively opened and used by Joshua Blake. Esq., of 
Boston, on a recent trip to the Mediterranean, in the 
steamer Archimide, of the Florio line of Italian steam¬ 
ers, and the last was as good as the first. 
A Great Want Supplied. 
Rex Magnus supplies the great want felt by dairy¬ 
men. It will keep the milk fresh and sweet for a week 
or longer until it is used. It will keep the cream as 
shown above. It will keep the butter so that it will 
reach the consumer in just as fine condition as when it 
leaves the dairy. Hundreds of tons of butter every year 
become rancid and are sold for grease. This loss all 
falls on the producer, and it may be avoided by the use 
of Rex Magnus. 
Tasteless, Harmless, Simple. 
It is perfectly harmless, and imparts no taste whatever 
to the articles treated with it. The use of it is easy, 
and the directions so simple that a child can follow them. 
Get It And Try It. 
You do not have to buy a costly recipe nor county 
right. We sell neither one nor the other ! 
If your grocer, druggist or general store-keeper does 
not have it in stock, we will send you a sample pound 
package, of any brand desired, except Aqua-Vitae and 
Anti-Ferment (which we put up in bottles), upon receipt 
of price. 
The various brands and their retail prices are as fol¬ 
lows: “Viandine,” for preserving meats, poultry, fish 
and game, 50 cents per lb. “ Ocean Wave,” for oysters, 
clams, lobsters, fish, &c., 50 cents per lb. ‘'Pearl,” for 
cream, $1.00 per lb. Snow Flake,” for milk, butter 
and cheese, 50 cents per lb. “(^ueen,” for eggs, $1.00 
er lb. “Aqua-Vita;.” for medical purposes and for 
eeping fluid extracts, $1.00 per lb. “Anti-Ferment,” 
“Anti-Mold” and “Anti-Fly,” 50 cents each. 
THE HlllSTQN FOOD PRESERVING 00., 
T2 KILBY STREET, BOSTON, MASS. 
Rex Magnus, the Humiston Food Preservative, is a 
new discovery, which has been perfected after years 
of study and research, and is now offered to the public 
as a safe, sure and harmless preparation, which can be 
depended upon to absolutely preserve and keep all 
kinds of meat, poultry, fish, milk, cream, eggs and 
vegetable juices fresh and sweet in all climates and all 
seasons without any alteration in their taste or ap¬ 
pearance. 
Do not confound this with the worthless com- 
gouni^jvhicl^iay^precededjt^Thi^succeeds 
where all others have failed. 
There have been at different times several worthless 
mixtures offered to the public which have pretended to 
accomplish this great result, hut they have signally 
failed. This is probably because their projectors have 
tried to preserve everything with one compound. A 
really scientific man would know better than this. 
Different Brands Necessary. 
The various kinds of food differ in their nature, 
character and component parts, and for their sure and 
safe preservation different antiseptics are required. 
Prof. Humiston has kept this point in view, and for the 
various classes of food the Company makes nine differ¬ 
ent preparations or brands of Rex Magnus. They do 
not claim that what is designed for one thing will pre¬ 
serve another, nor do they claim for any of their prepara¬ 
tions any more than they will perform. 
A Solid Test. 
Prof. Samnel W. Johnson, the noted chemist of the 
Scientific Department of Yale College, procured cream 
from a farm 3 miles north of New Haven. Conn. It had 
been collected and saved from five milkings of the three 
days previous, and was, therefore, being so mixed, diffi¬ 
cult to keep. 
How It Was Done. 
A pint of this was treated with “ Pearl,” a special 
brand of Rex Magnus, adapted specially for the preser¬ 
vation of cream. After treatment it was placed in a 
glass jar and sealed, at 3 o’clock of the afternoon of 
January 31st, 1883, and at 5 p. M. (or 2 hours later) of the 
same day, the untreated portion of this cream was found 
to be sour ! 
Seventeen Days Test. 
At the banquet held at the New Haven House, 17 days 
thereafter ilong enough to send all over Europe), this 
jar of treated cream was opened, and the contents were 
(with the exception of a slight mold on top) found to be 
perfectly natural and sweet, whilst it rendered the coffee 
luscious. The average temperature of the apartment 
(Prof. Johnson's private laboratory) in which this cream 
underwent this test, was 70° Fahr.

How Watch Cases are Made. 
It is a fact not generally known that the 
James Boss? Gold Watch Cases really con¬ 
tain more pure gold than many “solid” 
gold cases The demand for these watch 
cases has led to the manufacture of a very 
poor grade of solid gold watch cases—- 
low in quality, and deficient in quantity- 
These cases are made from 4f to 10 karats, 
and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12 
or 14 karats. It is not economy to buy a 
watch case so poor in quality that it will 
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will 
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus 
letting in dust and damaging the works, or 
one so thin that a slight blow will break 
the crystal, and perhaps the movement. 
It IS economy to buy a James Boss’ Gold 
Watch Case, in which none of these things 
ever occur. This watch case is not an experi¬ 
ment —it has been made nearly thirty years. 
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 24, 1882. 
I sold two James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases thirty 
years ago, when they first came out, and they are in 
good condition yet. One of them is carried by a 
carpenter, Mr. L. W. Drake, of Hazleton, and only 
shows the wear in one or two places; the other by 
Mr. Bowman, of Cunningham, Pa.; and I can pro¬ 
duce one or both of these cases at any time.
