How are You Going to Dig Your Potatoes ? 



It will be time very soon to dig your potatoes ; and, 

 in fact, in some places it is time already. If you want 

 .'■omething that will put the potatoes all on top of the 

 ground, and do it, too, with one good strong team, 

 you probably can not do any better than to use the 

 Dowden potato-digger, made by the Dowden Mfg. 

 Co., Prairie City, Iowa. Drop them a postal card, and 

 they will cheerfully give you all the particulars, an- 

 swering every question anybody will probably ask in 

 regard to the machine.
