NEW AMERICAN FARM BOOK. 
Originally by Richard I,. Allen. Revised and greatly 
enlarged by Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.00. 
Allen’s American Farm Book has been one of the standard 
farmers’ liand-books for twenty years; it isstill a valuable 
booMbut not up to the times; and as its antbor.Mr.Ii.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
his brother, lion. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. Tlie work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the New American Farm Book. 
AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. Illustrated. 
By Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.50. 
This book will he considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of tffe author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and has enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great, variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he is seeking light, without wasting his time In turning over 
the leaves.

NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“ Barry’s Fruit Garden ” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, and comprehensive manuals which Orange 
Judd & Co. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost 
everything which one book can tell about the ins and outs 
and ways and means of fruit culture. — The Advance 
(Chicago). 
Tills volume of 490 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to 
the culture of fruits of every variety in orchards and gar¬ 
dens. Tt describes the diseases incident to the various fruit 
trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the 
remedies for ridding trees of the evil .—Scientific American. 
Barry’s Fruit Garden strikes us qs about as complete a 
manual of the kind as could be desired. Nearly everything, 
in fine, needed seems to he provided in this compact volume, 
and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible 
to even the uninitiated.— The Methodist (N. Y.). 
The author writes from his own practical experience ; and 
that experience is of no ordinary character, being the result 
of more than thirty years’ work at the head of the largest 
nursery in America, where every operation is conducted 
with eminent skill. — The Country Gentleman. 
It explains all the minutice of fruit-gardening, even to the 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that the 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the 
different kinds of fruit that can be raised in our climate in 
every stage of their lives, from the germ to the fruit-bearing 
period, with instructions in pruning and grafting, in a most, 
satisfactory manner. The chapter on grapes alone is worth 
more than the price of the book.— Jersey City Times. 
It is a rich mine of information upon fruits of all kinds 
and their proper culture.— Providence Press. 
Mr. Barry lias long been known as an authority upon fruit 
culture, and this volume of 490 pages, with a full and care¬ 
fully prepared index, gives the latest results of hie study 
and experience.— Springfield Republican. 
This beautiful volume, of nearly five hundred pages, will 
be cordially welcomed by every lover of nature. It is the 
most perfect work we have seen on the whole subject, and 
well deserves a wide circulation. — United Presbyterian 
(Pittsburgh).

Boynton’s Lightning Saws 
SOLD IN 1872. 
The Lightning Saw has been awardcil the 
American Institute Medal, 1872. 
k “You See how it is Yourself.”!? 
Two Direct Cutting Edges. ft| 
Instead of One Scraping Point, y 
“THE GREATER INCLUDES THE LESS." 
The superiority of the Lightning Saw over all others is 
now established beyond dispute. No man lias ventured to 
put his Saws in competition with them at the American In¬ 
stitute or elsewhere; and the challenge of $500 for a , ublie 
trial has never been accepted. Wherever power and speed 
are wanted—wherever time and strength are too valuable 
to be wasted — there these Saws will assert, their claim. One 
source of their power is that the teeth are formed to out 
both ways, and each tooth having two direct cutting edges, 
instead of one scraping point, it plows a clean groove 
through the wood, while the other teeth only crush their 
way through under hard pressure. 
Facts and opinions given by- gentlemen of the highest 
character, from their own observation and experience, fully 
sustain all that can tie said in praise of this invention. 
J. W. Blake. Esq., Superintendent of the American Insti¬ 
tute, writes: “For ail purposes of cross ; cuttmg large or 
small timber, your cross-cuts and wood-saws have no rival in 
speed or ease. Their universal use would save a vast 
amount of money and time, and lighten the labor of mil¬ 
lions ot men.” 
At the Bedford Farmers’ Club, at Katonah, Jan. 26, 1812. a 
leading farmer of Westchester County said that lie had used 
the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw the hist year, and that two men 
could out more wood with it in one day than in three with 
any other saw. 
A practical lumber man aiso writes: “ It is as easy to out 
20 to 25 thousand feet with the Lightning Saw as 8 to 10 thou¬ 
sand with tlie old V-tooth, We get 80 centsper thousand for 
cutting—so the difference would pay for a saw in less than 
one day’s work.” 
Tlie Lightning Saws are now in use and for sale ill every 
State and Territory of the Union, and are sent 10 foreign 
lands, indeed to every quarter of the world. 
More than 100,000 purchasers during 1872 add their teal i- 
mony to the claims of superiority of tlie Lightning Saw. 
These Saws are of all sizes, from the fine hand-saw ot one 
foot long to the ten-foot California Cross-Cut. Two men can 
use the one-man saw, by attaching one of Boynton’s Patent 
Handles, removable at pleasure. Many imitations are 
abroad that are deficient in some essential features, and I am 
prosecuting infringers in the United States Courts. None 
are genuine unless tliev bear the name of E. M. BOYNTON. 
and tlie date of the lour patents. Every such saw lias been 
rigidly inspected before leaving the factory, and is warrant¬ 
ed to coil|and touch ends without injury. A six-foot cross¬ 
cut and a buck-saw blade will be sent for Six Dollars.

ous fine wood-engravings, but also with seventeen full-page

landscape architecture and rural adornment, and while its
