A representation of a 

 most desirable horse-rake 

 will be found in Fig. 828. 

 A bby riding, and driving 

 a light horse, will do an 

 immense amount of work 

 in a short time. 



A hay-loader is a very 

 valuable implement f o r 

 large farms. It is some- 

 what similar in construc- 

 tion to a hay-maker. The 

 one we present in Fig. 829 

 is found to serve the pur- 

 pose admirably. A revolv- 

 ing frame with curved teeth 

 places the hay on an end- 

 less web, which conveys it 

 to the top of the load ; the 

 horses are kept going, and the wheels of both wagon and loader are 

 astride the row of hay. In Fig. 830 we show the hay-loader at work. 

 These machines will all pay good interest on the investment in pur- 

 chasing them. 



Drainage. V; 



The subject of drainage is one to which the attention of the 

 farmers of the United States does not require to be drawn as
