We viii give to-day short notices OF few things
which attracted attention among those latest iRvent
which strike as likely prove useful to the agricul'-
raj class whose attention earnestly invite 70 examine
such things may from time TO time cal. their at

One Of the things which seems 70 attract the
most attention is Atkins's Au,omaton Raker-one Of
the most simple aud yet most effective pieces o.
machinery We ever saw in operation. Il invented
last year by Jearm Atkins. Of Chicago, a bedrdlen
cripple, who bad not been in harvesl-6ed for years
and who has never yet been able witness the operation
Of his ingenious and useful invention This Raker can
be attached to auy Of the half OF Keepers on

by the side Of the last described machine stands an
other oddookng unlike anything else In the
