Defcnpfion tf a newly^invented Machine for 

 Raking Summer-Corn Stubbles, 



Gentlemen, 



ABOUT three years fince I found fome diffi- 

 culty in procuring hands to take up my Lent 

 or Summer corn in the method ufually pradlifed in 

 this Court ty; that is, by forking the fwarths into 

 cocks, and raking the ground with hand-rakes by 

 wom'ctl. ^Itn are generaHy employed in forking 

 it. It, threreToHe 6ccui"red tb me that an inftru- 

 tJftnt might be nrtkle to anfwer the purpofe of 

 taking it by hand. I knew the Norfolk method 

 of doing it by drag-rakes, (as they are called) 

 drawn by mens but the rnen were wanting elfe- 



where.
