THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Business. 
Some Sweet-Potato Tools. 
Can The Rural tell where the sweet-po¬ 
tato digger, ridger and puncher and tongs 
for setting plants can be purchased ? They 
were spoken of by E. G. B., a correspondent 
from Penn’s Grove, N. J M in a late issue of 
the paper. We grow large quantities of 
sweet potatoes here and need all the newly- 
improved Implements we can get to facili¬ 
tate the work of growing and harvesting 
the crop. W. P. T. 
Little Rock, Ark. 
ANSWERED BY E. G. BRICK. 
The sweet-potato ridger and digger I 
spoke of was not a combined tool, for they 
are separate implements. There are several 
makes of ridgers, but perhaps the best is the 
‘•Iron King,” manufactured by Tomlin, 
Swedesboro, N. J , but the one I used this 
year was made from a set of Planet Jr. 
furrowers, placed on a wooden frame of my 
own contrivance, and used with a tongue. 
This has some points of excellence; but, 
on the whole, the Iron King is as good. 
It costs $10. Of the diggers there are sev¬ 
eral makes, and each does good work. The 
one I nsed is called the DarliDgton, and It 
is made with a frame like a mowing ma¬ 
chine with cog gears to drive the vine-cut¬ 
ting discs. These are usually made by local 
blacksmiths, who use old mower frames, 
and also by E. Haines, Woodstown, N. J., 
who makes psrhaps the best; price about 
$40 to $50. Then the Hewitt, made at Salem, 
N. J., the Fenton, made here, and S. L. 
Allen & Co.’s Planet Jr. are all cheaper 
machines, but do good work. They cost 
from $15 to $20. I think the Fenton, made 
here, is the best of the lot, excepting, per¬ 
haps, that the Darlington is better in very 
heavy vines. The puncher and tongs are 
home made, but the cost is very small. I 
could send a sample pair for 75 cents from 
one of our wheelwrights, and from such a 
pattern one could make them. Their effi¬ 
ciency can be ascertained from Prof. Byron 
D. Halsted, of the New Jersey Experiment 
Station, who saw my men using them this 
year, setting out 1,500 plants per hour in a 
perfect manner. 
A City Man Talks Farm Business. 
The R. N.-Y. is gratified to learn that 
many of its town and city readers are 
earnestly discussing the prospects of bet¬ 
tering their condition by Investing their 
little savings in a small farm. We are glad 
that most of them look at the matter sen¬ 
sibly and realize that they will have to face 
and grow into new conditions of life. The 
following letter from a subscriber in Chi¬ 
cago is worth quoting here. 
“The Rural of July 11 wa?full of In¬ 
teresting matter for me, especially the re¬ 
marks about surplus city labor going to the 
country. My labor is not surplus city 
labor. I have earned $100 per month for 
the last three years. I traveled about 5,500 
miles this spring looking for a location in 
the West to start a market garden, and to¬ 
day I am lighter in pocket, but I hope richer 
in experience. Now, if there is such a dearth 
of intelligent labor in the country, here I 
am, anxious to buy, rent, or work a small 
market garden on shares, in a good location 
in New England, or I’ll hire out to a good, 
progressive market gardener. Without 
egotism I lay claim to average intelligence, 
psrseverance and a share of Scotch pertin¬ 
acity. I have had two years’ experience at 
market garden work in the Southern States, 
and know what it is. Come what may, 
next spring will see me engaged in some 
line of agriculture, and the interim will be 
nsed to find a suitable place. Here is a 
chance for the farmer wanting help. I am 
30 years of age, never use liquors or tobacco, 
am married and have two children, and a 
wife reared on a Scotch farm (her father 
has been a cattleman for 50 years) and she 
boasts her ability to hoe turnips, etc., or 
make straw bands for the sheaves in the field 
with the next one. Chicago Is too large to 
make a good place to start a market garden, 
and the ground is covered by German and 
Scandinavian renters, and while all that 
can be raised finds a market, prices are low. 
My ideal is a small manufacturing town 
which will afford a local market for my 
products, at fair prices.” 
BUSINESS BITS. 
Catalogue from Boomer & Boschert, 
Syracuse, New York. Everything in the 
line of cider and wine making machinery is 
described and illustrated here. This firm 
has been in business many years. It has 
never tried to make cheap goods and has 
ever tried to satisfy its customers. In 
consequence it is a safe firm to deal with. 
J. T. Lovett Company, Little Silver, 
New Jersey. A pamphlet of pot grown 
and layer strawberries, with colored pict¬ 
ures of Shuster’s Gem, Lovett’s Early and 
Gandy. The best of the standard varieties 
are also offered. 
Small Engines for Farmers.—A late 
issue of The R. N.-Y. contained several ar 
tides about small steam engines for farm 
use. The answers of the different makers 
were quite correct, for it is a fact that 
steam requires constant attention to insure 
safety and for very small engines such care¬ 
ful firing Is necessary to keep up an even 
steam pressure that they are not practic¬ 
able. I am an old engineer and am thor¬ 
oughly acquainted with steam, and have 
for the past year been investigating the 
power business with a view to superseding 
an old windmill, and I have found, after 
examining many caloric, electric, gas and 
other kinds of motors, an engine that is 
safe, and as cheap as steam, and which can 
be started in less than five minutes, and all 
expense ceases as soon as the engine Is 
stopped. No stone foundations are needed 
(for it may be set on the floor the same as a 
cook stove), no smoke stacks, coal house or 
ash pile, and no boiler explosions can occur 
with it. Gasoline runs it. I have found 
that it will pump water from a 165-foot well 
and elevate a part of it to a tank 20 feet 
high to water my gardens and greenhouses, 
to elevate grain in my barn, cut feed for 
stock, churn, turn the grindstone, etc, 
so I think The Rural will be able to 
shout “Eureka!’’ to all tarmer inquirers for 
a safe and reliable engine of from a half a 
horse power up to a 50-horse power.
