PRAIRIE CITY POTATO CUTTER. 



The Prairie City Potato Cutter is admirably 

 adapted to cut potatoes for seed in a very 

 workmanlike manner, and faster than 

 seven or eight men can by hand. 



The construction of this Potato Cutter 

 is simple, strong and durable. The knives 

 are of saw-blade steel, the case of cast- 

 iron, and wooden blocks between knives 

 that hold them rigid in their places. 



The shipping weight is eleven pounds, 

 and you neither have to pay for the work 

 or the freight on frame (see directions), 

 which you can make for what the freight 

 alone would cost. 



Price, $2.50.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE PRAIRIE CITY POTATO CUTTER. 



Fasten the cutter by rear bolt to a barrel or box, with a space sufficiently large to let the pieces 

 of potatoes fall through. Place a potato on knives with one hand, and with the other press it 

 through, while reaching for another potato with the first hand. Cut one potato at a time. The 

 more careful you are to place the potatoes the better the eyes will be distributed. You can, by 

 changing knives, cut the pieces any dksired size, and if desired you can place a division beneath 

 so as to collect all the seed ends in one pile separate from the rest. If the lever suggests some 

 other way, you can, by two screws, take it off and change it by making it longer, or by making the 

 paddle smaller or larger, if desired, or you can leave it off and use a wooden mallet. Be care- 

 ful not to press or strike harder than sufficient to drive the potato down — a little experience will 

 determine the force required. To enable rapid work a small feed table placed close to the operator 

 will be found verv convenient.
