REtOLVINQ HORSE RAKE. 



The Revolving Rake which has been in general use in 

 most parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found lu be 

 one of the most useful and labor saving machines now in 

 use. One man and horse with a boy to lead, will rake on 

 an average from 25 lo 30 acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. They are coming into very general use in 

 all parts of the country, and will, no doubl, in a few years 

 supersede the use of the common hand rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all others, as the person 

 using it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake.
