Hay—mak′ing Fur′nace.

Mr. Mechi writes to the London times that he shall hereafter arrange to make his hay by furnace-heat. The apparatus consists of a coke-furnace, and a fan by which the heat is driven through a small chamber filled with grass. In fifteen minutes the grass is converted into hay, sweeter and greener than can be made by sun-drying. The apparatus works in all weathers, and dries grain, corn, and roots as well.

Horse hay-rake.
