POTATO MACHINERY. 



EVANS' POTATO PLANTER No. 55. 



IT is a force feed, and is positive in its action, and its operation is controlled by the 

 machine, instead of by the size of the seed potatoes. 

 To Change the Distances Apart in Dropping, — The machine will drop the 

 potatoes in drills 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 28 or 36 inches apart. The change for different 

 distances apart is accomplished by putting on more or fewer picker arms. 



Vibrating Peed Hopper Bottom. — The bottom of the hopper is constructed with 

 two feeding channels, which vibrate from the top of the hopper down to the bottom 

 of the concaves, thus assuring an even and steady flow of potatoes. 



A Novel Marker. — It is positive in operation, is constructed 

 •on the principles of the hand lever, has a spring catch which 

 holds it in an upright position when turning around, is readily 

 operated by the hand catch, and cannot fall when turning on 

 hilly ground. The marker is arranged with a sliding marker 

 head, so that the machine will plant the rows any distance 

 apart desired. 



Width of the Machine.— The machine is 36 inches wide from 5 

 the centre of one drive wheel to the centre of the other. 



Disc Coverers Furnished When Desired. 

 Fertilizer Attachment.— This machine can be furnished with 



a Fertilizer Attachment when 

 desired. It is made on the same 

 ; principle as those on the Evans 

 Corn Planters. 



PRICE $60.00.

HEIMCH & DROMGOLD'S 

 POTATO DIGGER. 



HE standards are made of cast iron, having on 

 a highly polished steel share. The side or wing 

 pieces to the standard are bolted with a 

 ratchet, by which they can be adjusted to stand up 

 or down as desired. The fingers extending back from the standard are 

 made in a zig-zag form, instead of straight, as shown in cut, on account 

 of which they separate the potatoes from the ground better than straight 

 ones. Ihey are made of spring steel, and are very elastic and durable. 



PRICE $7 . 00 .

 Double Mouldboard Plow, i

 subsoil Plow should always be used with a 

 wheel. 



The standard is made of malleable iron, 

 6V2 inches wide at the narrowest point and 

 firmly bol'ed to the beam. The doub'e mou'd 

 and points and dlgyer mould are made of 

 chilled cast iron, polished, and digger fin-

THE LATEST IMPROVED 



Peach and Potato Sorter, 



THE most delicate, ripe and softest peaches, 

 apricots, plums, etc., can be graded in 

 the machine without the least injury. It 

 can be adjusted to change the size of the 

 grades required. Fruits sell better by being 

 properly sorted. It is the only machine that 

 will sort both peaches 

 and potato's. It runs as 

 lightly as a sewing ma- 

 chine with foot treadle. 

 It is easily operated. 

 Weight, 200 pounds.

Prairie City Potato Cutter. 



THE PRAIRIE CITY Potato Cut- 

 ter will cut potatoes for seed 

 faster than seven or eight men 

 can by hand. 



DIRECTIONS. 

 Cut one potato at a time. If the 

 lever suggests some 

 other way, you can, 

 by two screws, take 

 it off and change it 

 by making it longer; 

 or bymakingthe pad- 

 dle smaller or larger, 

 or you can leave it 

 off and use a wood- 

 en mallet. Be care- 

 ful not to press or 

 strike harder than 

 sufficient to drive the 

 potato down. A lit- 

 tle experience will de- 

 termine the force re- 

 quired. Price, $2.00.
