REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 



This is one of the most useful and labor saving machines 

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

 rake on an average fnnn 25 to 30 acres per day, with c"^se 

 and do the work well. There is a great advantage in this 

 raUe over all others, as the person using it does not have to 

 stop the horse to unload the rake. For sale by J. BKECK

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship o( these Ploughs; the mould bi nrd 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrow romplctchi oner, 

 lurninfr in every particle of grass or sliU-ble, and leaving the 

 ground in the. best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has be n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might i)erhnps say to 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to work, 

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your landis heavy, hird orrocl.y, 

 BEGIN WITH Mb. Howabd's.'' 



At Ihe above mer.f.oned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, with the same power of team, than any oilier 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyseven 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Howard Plough turned twentynlne and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside: this shoe likewise secures 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to S|5. A Ploiiph, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 S;o 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, $2 5U 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North ^Market Street, bv

GRAIN CRADL.es. 



The difference in gathering a crop is so much in favor nf 

 cradling, that -we must suppose that it will be the only mode 

 adopted hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use as an implement of husbandry, as the plow now is. 



There has been a very great improvement in the mann- 

 facturing of this article, they are now made on the most 

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

 superior manner and mnde of the best cast steel.
