 I(<n'>'rle<l for the New Ensland Farmer. 

 Range ij( ihe Tliermunieter at ilie Garden of the proprietors 

 of the New England Farmer, RrigUion, Mass. in a shaded 

 (Vorlherly exposure, week ending June 7. 



The Revolving Kake, which has been in general use in 

 most parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to 

 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 26 to 30 acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the woik well. They are' coming into very general use in 

 all parts of the country, and will, no doubi.'iii a few years, 

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

 great advanlai^e in this rake over all others, as the person 

 using ii does not have to slop the horse to unload the rake. 



aiiAIN CRADL.F.S. 



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 ibiind to be decidedly the best mode of 

 harvesting grain, as it is suppused one man will cradle five 

 acres in a day when he cannot reap more than one The 

 difference in gathering a crop is so much in favor of cradling, 

 that we mn:,t suppose that it will be the only mode adopted 

 herealter, and the grain cradle will become of as much usei 

 as an implement of husbandry, as the plough now is.- 



There has been a very great improvement in the manufac- 

 turing of this article, ibey are now made on the most im- 

 proved plan ; the scylho is well secured and finished in a 

 superier inaunerand made of the best cast steel.
