REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 

 The Revolving R.ike, which has been in general use io most 

 parts of I'ennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to be one of 

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

 man and horse will rake on an average, Irom fifteen lo twenty 

 acres per d.ay, with ease, and do the work well, it not being 

 necessary to stop tlie horse to unload. They are coming into 

 very general use in all parts of the countrv, and will, no 

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

 rake. For sale at the New England Agricultural Warehouse 

 and .Seed Store. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
