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 labor saving machines now in 

 use. One man and horse wilh a boy to lead, will rake on 

 an average from 25 to 30 acres per day, wilh ease, and do 

 the work well. They are coming into veiy general use in 

 all parts 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 

 uiing it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake.

CULTIVATORS. 



Howard's Improved Fixed and Expanded Cultivators, 

 of all sizes. The cultivator is an implement that is com- 

 ing into very general use in all parts of the country, and 

 serves in a great measure in lieu of hoeing. The teelh are 

 so 'constructed as to raise the ground, and leaves it very 

 light and free for cultivation, and at the same time destroys 

 the weeds. 



These Cultivators are best adapted to free and easy 

 ground, for running through rows of corn, potatoes and veg- 

 etables of all kinds, and used in llie cultivation of Hops, in- 

 stead of the plough and hoe, and are found far superior to 

 either. It is likewise well adapted to harrow in grain and 

 grass seed ; and for the many uses to which this implement 

 may be applied, it must be considered one of the most val- 

 uable and uselul tools that is used on a farm, and is coming 

 into very general use.
