The Revolving Rake which has been in general use in 

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

 one ol 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 to 30. acres per day, with ease, and do 

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

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

 supei-sede 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 slop the horse to unload the rake.

GRAIN CRAULES. 



The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use in the New England Slates, where they were till 

 of late but little known, although they have been in very 

 general use in the southern and western Stales, for many 

 years, and which is found to lie decidedly the best mode of 

 bsrvestiiig grain, as it is supposed one man will cradle five 

 acres in a day when he cannot reap more than one. Fcr 

 sale by JOSEPH BRECK & CO., 51 & 52 North Market 

 Street.
