and the rake turns, depositing its load, and bringing the 

 other row of teeth to the ground. 



An implement of the above dimensions is too heavy 

 for one horse; hence the shafts are intended to be hooked 

 to the hind axle of a naked wagon, and thus worked by a 

 team, the driver riding on the wagon and operating the 

 lever whenever the rake is full. 



The rake can also be made with a pole, so as to hitch 

 a team directly to it, as shown in figure 150. The beam 

 should then have three journals instead of two, and the 

 number of teeth even, so that the pole can be attached at 

 the middle.
