The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use m the New England States, wher*? they were lili 

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

 general use in the southern and western Stales, for many 

 years, and which is iound to bo decidedly the best mode ol 

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

 acres in u day when he cannot reap more than one The 

 difference in gathering a crop is so much in favor of cradhng. 

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

 herealter. and the grain cradle will become of as much use, 

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



There has been a very great improvement in the manufac- 

 turing of this article, they are now made on tin- most im- 

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

 superier manner and made of the best cast steel.
