REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 

 The Revolving Rake, which has been in general use in most 

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

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

 man an J horse will rake on an average, (rom fifteen m twenty 

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

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

 very treneral use in all parts of the country, and will, no 

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

 rake. For sale at the New England Agriruknral Warehouse 

 and Seed Store. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
