The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use in the New Englanii States, where they were till 

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

 general use in the southern and western States, lor many 

 years, and which is loiiiul to 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 one. The 

 dilference in gathering a crop is so much in favor of 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 ail implement of 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 the most im- 

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

 superier mannerand inaile of the best cast steel.
