Miss Prime: “Philosophers disagree as to 
which period of life seems the longest to man¬ 
kind. What is your opinion, doctor?” Doc¬

“The Aspinwall Potato Planter works with almost hitman ingenuity. It is as indispens¬ 
able to the large potato grower as the reaper is to the wheat farmer. IT IS A SUCCESS. 
We can gladly recommend it as a first-class implement. Potato growing in the future pro¬ 
mises to be conducted as wheat groiving now is—on a large scale. Those who refuse to avail 
themselves of improved implements will fall behind." — Rural New-Yorker, April 2, 1887.
