 to that almighty and all bountiful Creator and Father, 

 who causes the grass to grow for cattle and bread for the 

 service of man ; who clothes the lilies of the field in 

 inalchless splendor ; and makes even the wilderness to 

 bud and blossom like the rose

REV(3LVING HORSE RAKIi. 

 The Revolving Rake, which has been in general ii.=e in most 

 parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to be one of 

 the most useful and labor saving macliines now in use. One 

 man and horse will rake on an average, Ironi fifteen to twenty 

 acres per day, with ease, and do the work well, it not bein^ 

 necessaiy to stop the horse to indoad. They are coming into 

 very general use in all parts of the countVv, and wTll, no 

 doubt, in a few years, supercede tile use of the common hand 

 rake. For sale at the New England Agrirullnral Warehouse
