THE HORSE RAKE. 
Many farmers are still unsupplied with horse-rakes. 
Those who have tried them would almost as soon think 
of doing without a plow, and dig by hand. We lately 
saw four strong men on a fine meadow of dried hay, 
working might and main with hand rakes, to save it 
from the onward-marching thunder storm. One of 
them, with a good revolver, would have collected the 
hay thrice as fast as the four, and probably have saved 
i many dollars loss in spoiled hay and hard work. Twen- 
| ty-four acres may be raked by one horse in a day. 
The revolver is best for hay; the spring-toothed for 
gleaning. The latter will also work best on rough or 
stony ground, and either are fine for gleaning meadows, 
I and will save much hand-labor after the pitch fork. 
| The spring-tooth rake is a great labor-saver in pulling 
I and gathering peas. 
GRAIN BINDERS’ WITEEL-RAKE. 
This is a labor-saving implement, used 
extensively in several States. It is 
light, weighing about 15 lbs. The 
hinder takes the handles and pushes 
it before him, with the points of the 
teeth or fingers close upon the ground, 
and when he has gathered a sufficient 
quantity for binding into a sheaf, he 
places his foot upon the foot-pieee, (a) and by a slight 
pressure, and letting go the handles, the fingers and 
grain are raised above the stubble, when it is readily 
bound, the binder being required to stoop much less 
than in the old way of reaching to the ground. When 
the sheaf is bound and thrown aside, the foot is removed 
from the foot-piece, the teeth drop down, and the han¬ 
dles rise ready for the next operation.
