PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
Allen's American Farm Book has been one of the standard 
farmers' hand-books for twenty years ; it is still a Taluable 
book.bnt not up to the times ; and as its author.Mr.li.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
his brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
fi'om the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is
