BOOKS which Are BOOKS.
ssIn our younger days We remember to
have pondered long and lovinging over the
oddity Of the above caption, which stood,
always as headline, on the first page of
many rare and readable volumes, issued BY
an old publishing house nov long retired
from business. The experience of msturer
ys.zs h,s taught rs that the odd quotation
carried the weight Of thoushtful criticism
condemned in single sentence; for shiie
sof the making Of many books there is no
end,' the additions to a good and heslthful
literature bear but trifiing relation to the
sum total of Publication.
These reflections are naturally casscd BY
the appearance of the first number Of new
work. quantity styled "A Century After,
which, appositely enough, is handsomely
illustrated example, in its own pages, OF the
subject with which IL desls-the astounding

Rake has gained for itself a wide and last
ing reputation and proved itself to be the
victor of the the field. II is the best Rake
ever introduced among farmers-the most
simple in construction and the easiest man
aged. as it is self. unloading. II is the least
liable to get out of order, as the wheels are
made with the best wood hubs. 1t does the
best work with the least effort on the part
of the operator, of any rake ever used By
the fr-rer. Each tooth is independent of
its fellow, but all are so fastened to the
axle that none can get the least out Of place.
From the ten thousand in use last year, We
have yet to hear of the first one that showed
the least imperfection. This popular Rake
has established its own reputation in the
field, and took the first reward of merit at
the Juniata County Agricultural Fair, 1874.
