Our Premium list this year contains 
nearly all the valuable articles offered 
last year, of which about $20,000 worth 
were distributed among our readers, and 
were received with great satisfaction; 
and in addition to the above novelties 
we add the following: "Watclacs, 
of A No. 1 quality, made expressly for 
our premium list by the American 
Watch Company ; Early Pose Potatoes ; 
Sets of Field Croquet, etc. Full details 
will be found in <116 following pages. 
This is no Prize or Gift Enterprise. 
We simply offer these articles as Pre¬ 
miums to those who send in the specified 
clubs of subscribers. See particulars. 
EXPLANATION’.—Our immense circulation en¬ 
ables us to do things on a grand scale, and doing thus, 
adds again to our circulation. We spend large sums for 
engravings, for collecting information, etc., and it costs 
no more for all these to supply half a million subscribers 
than it would half a. thousand. There is but one office, 
one set of editors, engravers, etc., to be supported. There¬ 
fore we can furnish a superior paper at an exceed¬ 
ingly low price... .We expend all the subscription money, 
and tens of thousands of dollars more, in simply getting 
up and furnishing the paper itself, and yet make a satis¬ 
factory profit, besides paying all the premiums. Our un¬ 
precedented circulation makes every line very valuable to 
advertisers, who gladly pay a large price to reach so many 
people—especially as they know we shut out humbugs 
and unreliable parties from our advertising columns. 
So our advertisements furnish money to pay premiums; 
the premiums get more subscribers ; more subscribers 
add to the value of the advertisements, and thus we get 
more money for more premiums. The whole thing is 
simple, and only requires courage and enterprise to carry 
it out. Everybody gets a very good and very cheap paper; 
and thousands of people get good premium articles—just 
such as they want—simply by making up clubs of sub¬ 
scribers. Your opportunity to do this. Reader, is just as 
good as that of any other person in the world. What 
premium will you have ? Further on we tell how to get it. 
51 IPtsys B>€&IJ'0§5.'W to try for our Pre¬ 
miums. A few odd hours’ work, with a copy 
of the paper to show, will collect enough sub¬ 
scribers to secure one of the fine articles in 
our list. As a business, some Gentlemen, several 
hoys, and many Ladies, canvassed for subscribers, 
received various premiums, sold them for cash, and 
made high wages. One Lady thus made SI,200 in 
less than 6 months the past year. Others made 
S150 to $250 each, in single months.-—Again, Ev¬ 
erybody that circulates the Agriculturist , and thus 
gets more people to reading and thinking, is doing 
a good work for the country. Twenty-five copies 
circulating in a neighborhood will stimulate 
thought and enterprise that will soon increase 
the value of all the property in the place. 
E®a*eseiiits. — Many persons make up clubs 
and Secure our premium articles, as sewing 
machines, silver sets, etc., for presents to a 
wife or friend. Many neighborhoods make up 
clubs for sewing machines to be given to poor 
widows, or to a Pastor’s wife. Scholars unite and 
get a Watch for a teacher, a Mclodeon for their 
school room, and so on.
