A. I. ROOT'S NEW BOOK, "WHAT TO DO, AND HOW 

 TO BE HAPPY WHILE DOING IT." 



I need not tell the readers of Gleanings what 

 this is about, because most of you have read more 

 or less of it in the chai)ter.'^ which have appeared in 

 Gleanings. Even if you have read it, however, I 

 think the book will be worth half a dollar to you; 

 in fact, I use it a great deal myself as a book of 

 reference. I want to see what I have done— what 

 experiments I have made; what season of the year 

 I sowed seed, put out plants, etc. It is not yet bound 

 in cloth, but it has been out only a couple of weeks. 

 In paper covers, price .50 cts. If wanted by mail, 

 add 8 cts. extra for postage. Two copies will be 

 sent for 80 cts.; three for *1.(X): five or more, 30 cts. 

 each, in all cases adding postage as above, when 

 wanted by mail. The book contains 181 pages and 

 83 engravings.
