Allen’s New American Farm Book.$2.50 
Allen's American Farm Book , (the former edition of the 
present volume), has been one of the standard farmers’ 
hand-books for twenty years ; it is still a valuable 
hook, but as its author, Mr. R. 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 present edition of the work is greatly enlarged, 
and full of suggestions from the rich experience of its 
editor and reviser, and is called the NEW AMERI¬ 
CAN FARM BOOK. Originally by Richard L. Al¬ 
len, Revised and greatly enlarged by Lewis F. Allen.

The attention of Farmers, THresliermeii, 
and responsible Live Agents, and Agricul¬ 
tural Implement Dealers in all part, of the 
Country is invited to our 
Traction or Self-Propelling 
FARM ENGINES. 
By a simple but reliable attachment made to our Common 
Farm Engines, we are able to offer a Traction, or Self-pro¬ 
pelling Farm Engine, which not only propels itself, but 
hauls a Water Tank and Separator, or loaded Wagon, over 
any road, up bill, or down, with the aid of one pair of horses. 
These Engines have been thoroughly tested three seasons. 
Three hundred ol them are now in use, and they have not 
only proved a complete success, bur. have given such excel¬ 
lent satisfaction that, where introduced, it is with difficulty 
any other engine can be sold. They cost hut little more than 
the common Farm Engine, and enable the tlireshermen to 
operate with from two to lour less teams, and move much 
faster than with horses. They are simple in construction, 
easily handled, durable, and their advantages over the 
common Farm Engine are so apparent, toe are confident 
they' are destined to take the place of other Engines used for 
threshing, or for any use where the engine and machinery 
employed has to be frequently moved. Circulars containing 
cuts, description, prices, and testimonial letters from our 
customers, furnished free to all applicants. Agents and 
Dealers will readily appreciate the advantages this Engine 
offers them. Agents wanted in every County in all the 
States and Territories.
