HITCHCOCK POTATO DIGGER. 



This implement, 

 though very simple 

 appearance, is the 

 result of much study 

 n d many experi- 

 ments; and it is as 

 near perfect as can be 

 attained and come 

 within the reach of 

 every farmer. The 

 sale of several thou- 

 sand during- the past 

 few years 

 proves it a 

 success. By 

 changing one 

 bolt it may 

 be converted 

 into a Shovel 

 Plow or a Po- 

 tato ]>ii™;er. 

 The fingers 

 are adjusta- 



r>le,being held in position by the plow point. Thus, in case of 

 breakage, a new part may be inserted without the expense 

 of whole new head. The fingers, points and wings are 

 made of steel, rendering it light, strong and durable. 

 TO OPERATE THE POTATO DIGGER SUCCESSFULLY. 



1st. See thatthe field is comparatively free from vines and 

 weeds, which may be done by mowing- and raking with a 

 wheel horse rake. 



2d. Adjust the wheel to run the plow under the potatoes; 

 •do not let it run too deep. 



3d. Adjust the handles according to height of operator. 



4th. Dig every alternate row, and after picking up the 

 potatoes, take tbe remaining rows. 



Experience is our teacher; therefore, do not expect this 

 implement to do as well at first as after a little use. 



Kemember that this is the only potato digger that can 

 be successfullv used with one horse. 



PRICE, $8.00. Extra Beam. $2 00. Extra Steel 

 Point, 60 cts. Cast Head, $100.
