The Best Chance Ever Offered

Men and Women,

TO 
Secure Good Homes! 
There are throughout the Eastern and Middle 
States thousands of people anxious to secure for 
themselves homes in the West. Many of these 
have not the means to spare to make a tour of ex¬ 
amination of the different portions of the West and 
then purchase the lands they so much need. To 
meet the wants of some of these the Publishers of 
the American Agriculturist and Hearth and 
Homs have secured a number of farms in one of 
the most beautiful, fertile, and healthful local ions 
in the great West, and now offer them as Special 
Premiums to Agents for procuring subscribers to 
the American Agriculturist or Hearth and Home 
or both. 
Locatian of* the Lands. 
These lands are within the limits of the well- 
known and popular Na ional Colony, located in 
Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. In beauty, 
fertility, and adaptability to general agriculture 
they are not surpassed by any in the United States. 
The Colony is organized upon temperance princi¬ 
ples, and no intoxicating liquors are allowed to be 
sold within its limits. The St. Paul and Sioux City 
Railroad is completed, and regular trains are run¬ 
ning through the Colony lands, thus affording ac- 
ce-s to the best m >rkets. The lands are being 
rapidly settled by moral, industrious, and en¬ 
terprising people, thus insuring good society, 
churches, schools, and all the comforts and conve¬ 
niences of an old-established community. There 
are now over fifteen hundred families within the 
Colony limits. This rapidity of settlement insures 
a rapid increase in the value of property, so that 
those who secure these premiums will get property 
not only valuable to day, but which can not fail to 
increase in value very rapidly. 
How to Get Them. 
We can offer eight farms of forty acres each ; 
eight of eighty acres each, and four of one hundred 
and sixty acres each for subscribers to our publica¬ 
tions upon the following terms, viz : 
Forty Acres for 310 subscribers to the 
American Agriculturist, at §1.50 each; or 155 to 
Hearth and Home at §3.00 each, or 170 to 
l>ot1i papers at $1.00 each. 
Eighty A cres for 620 subscribers to 
American Agriculturist at $1.50 each; or 310 to 
Hearth and Home at $3.00 each, or 340 to both 
papers at $4.00 each. 
One Hundred and Sixty Acres for 
1240 subscribers to the American Agriculturist at 
$1.50 each ; or 620 to Hearth and Home at $3.00 
each, or 680 to hoth papers at $4.00 each. 
Value of these Land*. 
These lands were appraised more than three 
years ago by disinterested men at $8 per Acre, 
and the rapid rate of settlement in the National 
Colony will increase their value to from 825 to 
850 per acre in a very few years. Better lands 
can not be found anywhere. 
Selection of the Farias. 
Persons securing any of these premiums will re¬ 
ceive a cer ificate to that effect, with which they 
may locate the lands themselves, or have some one 
else do it for them, or we will have it done without 
charge by a disinterested person, and forward the 
deed by mail. 
Go to Work at Once. 
Now we are confident there are among our read¬ 
ers several thousand men and women, boys and 
girls, who could easily secure one of these valuable 
premiums. The winter’s leisure (too often wasted) 
employed in this work could hardly fail to secure 
one of these farms, and thus prove the foundation 
of a comfortable fortune. Such an opportunity 
for securing a home has rarely, if ever, been offered 
before. As will be observed, we offer but twenty 
of these farms—eight of 40 acres, eight of 80 acres, 
and four of 160 acres each, and the rule must neces¬ 
sarily be “first cume first served.” Therefore, 
those who intend to compete for these valuable 
premiums should begin at once. 
Remember 
that one of our beautiful chromos (as advertised 
in another place) is given to every subscriber.

miums may be had by addressing
