A MOST BEAUTIFUL 
CHEOMO 
Richly worth Ten Dollars; A Perfect 
Copy of an Original $400 Painting, 
by B. F, Reinhart, entitled 
Brewing,” 
PRESENTED 
To Every Subscriber to the American 
Agriculturist for 1873. 
A Splendid Ornament for every Home. 
The above fine gift is completed, and is 
being supplied as fast as they can be worked 
(about 5,000 a week), to subscribers in the order 
the names have been received for 1873. It is a 
beautiful ornament that will greatly please 
everybody. It is printed in 1G colors, which 
give the exact shading of the original painting, 
so perfectly that it is just as good for all prac¬ 
tical purposes, and few persons can tell th e 
copy from the original. The last printing 
gives a canvas impression so perfectly that the 
Chromo lias all the appearance of an oil paint¬ 
ing on canvas. 
The cost of putting this on 16 stones has 
been large, but this being done, by printing 
copies, the Publishers are able to 
present a copy to every subscriber for 1873. It is 
a perfect Gem, 11 by 13 inches inside the frame. 
Eiflg The Picture will ho given to every 
subscriber for 1873 (new or old), whether com¬ 
ing singly at $1.50 each, or in Clubs of Four for 
$5, or Clubs of Ten at $1.20 each, or in Clubs 
of Twenty or more at $1 each. Subscribers in 
Premium Clubs will also he entitled to it. Any 
and every subscriber for all of 1873, whenever 
received, will he entitled to this picture, on re¬ 
mitting the 25 cents to pay for mounting, pack¬ 
ing, and postage. The picture will he deliver¬ 
ed at the Office, unmounted, free of charge, or 
if mounted, for 15 cents extra. If to go by 
mail, unmounted, 10 cents must be sent to 
cover cost of packing and postage. 
It will be mounted on heavy binder' s-board, and 
Varnished, ready for use, even without any frame, 
or for putting into a frame, for 15 cents extra — 
that Is, for 25 cents It will 1»«> 
Mounted, Varnished, Packed, and 
sent Post-paid to subscribers for 1873, only. 
13.—The American Agriculturist Chromo 
will lie delivered : 
At the Office, Unmounted, -Free. 
“ “ “ Mounted, 15 cents extra. 
Sent by Mail, Unmounted, 10 cents extra. 
“ “ “ Mounted, 25 cents extra. 
We advise ail to have them mounted be¬ 
fore leaving the office, as in the large quanti¬ 
ties we put up, we are able to mount them for 
a quarter of the cost of doing it singly, and. 
better than it can usually be done elsewhere. 
GET The CHEOMO By EXPEESS. 
While we can mail the Chromo put up in 
extra pasteboard cases with safety’ it will 
be better where half a dozen or more go.to the 
same place to have them put in one parcel and 
sent by express, one person receiving the pack¬ 
age and distributing them to others. The cost 
to each will seldom he more than the postage 
(10 cents each), and where there arc 1 ;rge clubs, 
the express charges will amount to only a few 
cents each. Where this is done, only the 15 
cents for Mounting will be required. 
And Its Beautiful 
FREE CHROMO. 
READ THIS. 
While the old American Agriculturist is their “ first 
and best love,” as it has been for many years past, 
and while it will still continue to receive the most 
earnest attention and care of the Publishers, they 
are, in addition to this, in conjunction with an able 
corps of assistants, supplying in IIeabth and 
Home a first-class Weekly Journal, entirely different 
from the American Agriculturist. It is beautifully 
Illustrated; and filled with a high order of useful 
and interesting reading matter for all classes, in¬ 
cluding a special department for BI©USE- 
35ES3PB3B2J5, and a most entertaining, instruc¬ 
tive CE2IS.1>1£EI^’S Department, filliug two 
Illustrated pages or more, and which in its extent 
and quality stands unrivaled, and forms a distinc¬ 
tive feature of Hearth and Home. (This is under 
the special care of Mrs. Mary E. Mapes Dodge, the 
authoress of “Hans Brinker,” etc., and one of 
the most popular writers of the time.) That the 
Publishers are meeting a public want is evidenced 
by the fact that Hearth and Home has already 
risen to a circulation equaled by very few other 
Weekly Jounials in the entire country, and it has 
for some time past increased more than twice as 
fast as at any previous period—and this, too, in the 
midst of the absorbing presidential campaign. 
Edward Eggleston, whose American 
Stories of the “ Iioosicr School-Master" and “ The 
JSnd of the World " have been so popular that tens 
of thousands of copies in book form have been de¬ 
manded by the public, has a New Amei-ican Story 
far advanced, the first chapters of which will appear 
in Hearth and. Home the first of t’.iis month 
(December), and be continued in that Journal. It 
promises to far surpass Mr. Eggleston’s previous 
popular stories. It is founded on facts, and its 
6cene is laid in one of the newer North-western 
States, during the Immigration fever and Land 
Speculation of a dozen years ago, and aptly illus¬ 
trates Western life and society in some of its 
striking phases.—It will be finely Illustrated. 
But, while Hearth and Home itself, as large, 
valuable, and as finely Illustrated as it is, is sup¬ 
plied at the low rate of $3 a year, the Publishers are
