nSVOliVIlVG HORSE RAKK. 



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 m 

 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 coming into very 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 

 using it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake

GRAIN CRADLICS. 



The Grain Cradle is an article which is coming into very 

 general use in ihe 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 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 

 difierence in gathering a crop is so much in favor ol crad- 

 ling, that we must suppose that it will be the only mode 

 adopted hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use, as an implement of husbandry, as the plow now is 



There has been a very great improvement in the manu- 

 laclurins of this article, they are now made on the most 

 improved plan ; the scythe is well secu'red and finished in a 

 superior manner and made of the best cast steel.
