Rhode Island, June 24. 



The Revolvnig Hake, which has tieen in gener.Tl use in 

 most parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to 

 be one oi the most useful and labor saving machines now 

 in use. One man and hnrse, with a boy to lead, will rake 

 on an average from 25 to 30 acres jier day, with case, and do 

 the wojk well. They are coming into very general use in 

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

 supersede 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 stop the horse to unload the rake. 



GRAIN CRADLKS. 



The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use in the New England States; where they were till 

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

 general use in the southern and western States, for many 

 years, and which is found lo be decidedly the best mode of 

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

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

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

 that we must suppose that it will he the only mode adopted 

 hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as much use, 

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



There has been a very great improvement in ihe manufac- 

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

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

 superier manner and made of the best cast steel. 



SCYTHES, RAKES, &.c.
