REVOIiVIlVG HORSK KAKE. 



The Revolving Rake, which has been in general use in 

 most pans of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to 

 be one of the most useful and labor saving tnachiues now 

 in use. One man and horse, with a boy to lead, will rake 

 on an average from 25 lo 3U acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. They are coming inlo very general use in 

 all pans of the country, and will, no doid)i, in a few years, 

 supersede the use of the common hand rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all others, as ihe person 

 using it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake. 



GRAIN CRADLES. 



The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use in the New England States, where lliey were iili 

 of late but little known, alihuugh they have been in very 

 general use in ihe southern and western States, for many 

 years, and which is iound lo be decidedly the best mode of 

 harvesting grain, as it is supposed one man will cradle live 

 acres in a day when he cannot reap more than cnie. The 

 ddlerence in galheriug a crop is so much in favor ol cradling, 

 that we must suppose that it will he the only mode adopted 

 hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as much use, 

 as an implement of husbandry, as the plough now is. 



There has been a very great improvement in the manufac- 

 turing of this article, ihey are now made on the most im- 

 proved plan ; the scythe is well secured and finished in a 

 superier manner and made of the best cast steel. 



TIE UP CHAINS. 



Just received at the New England Agriculiural Ware- 

 house, a good supply of those celebrated Chains for lying 

 upcatlle. These chains, introduced by E. H. Derby, Esq. 

 01 Salem, and Col. Jacques, of (Jharlestown, for the pur- 

 pose of securing cattle to the stall, are found lo lie the safest 

 and most convenient mo le of fastening cows and oxen to Ihe 

 stanchion. They consist of a chain which passes round the 

 animal's neck, and by a ring attached lo the stall, plays free- 

 ly up and down, and leaves ihe animal ai liberty lo he down 

 or rise at pleasure, and keeps him perfectly secure.

 Fruit are respectfully infoi-rned that the subscriber has 

 J succeeded, alter many years e.\|M'rinientiiig upon the

 asecitnining the best methods of cultivalioii. The sub- 

 scriber would (lifer to the public, the present season, his 

 Selected Collection cunsisling tit' seven rarieties ; tliev are

 ring .5A inches has been exiribiied the present season.

 rieties grown, and will produce as fine frull and as large 

 quantiiy, wilh the siiine cultivauon, as any other everid- 

 fered, although some may ask the modest (!) price of $5 

 per dozen. The price of this Seedling is $5 per hundred

N. B. Those w-ho are desirous of cultivating this de- 

 licious fruit, would find it lor their inlerest to visit the 

 gardens and see the melhod of cuhivalion, and satisfy 

 themselves that they can obtain their plants from first 

 hands, for it Is too ofien the case that large and attrac- 

 tive advertisements are sent forth to the public by deal- 

 ers in plants, when at the same time they have never 

 grown the kinds oflered for sale, and know but little 

 about their cultivation. Attention to this by purcha- 

 sers, if possible, will save much lime and money. 



Every plant sent from this garden will be warranted 

 lo be free from niixtmes, and shall also be young and 

 healthy, worth the price paid for them. 



All orders directed lo the subscriber, enclosing the 

 amount for ihe (uder,or wilh a good reference, shall be 

 promptly attended to, and the plants carefully forward- 

 ed agreeably to directions.
