REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 

 Tlie Revolving Rake, which h.is been iu general use in most 

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

 the most u^'i-ful and labor saving machines now in use. One 

 man an i Inirj^e will rake on an average, Iroin fifteen to twenty 

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

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

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

 doubt, in a few years, supercede the use of the comniou hand 

 rake. For sale at the New England AgriruUmal Warehouse ;
