REVOIiVING HORSE RAKE. 



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, with a boy to lead, will rake ou 

 an average from 25 lo 30 acres per day, with ease, and tlo 

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

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

 supersede the use of ihe common band rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all oihers, as the person 

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