When woman drowns her home in suds 
Her husband feels despair; 
She roots out such a lot of duds 
She thinks he ought to wear.

10 Men’s Work 
Tremendous sales of Hallock’s “Success Gilt Edge” Potato Digger in the last year, 
show it is a marvel of economy, efficiency, and money-making. Does the work ten 
men would do with forks. It's a money-maker to work with, to hire out, or to sell by 
taking an agency. Nothing ever offered to farmers ever had such a boom. Every 
one sold sells from one to a dozen others. Thousands of users testify: “If* the Best 
I’otato Digger In the World.” Send for testimonials from those who have used it 
all over the world. It has no rivals. All the old-style, high-priced Diggers are thrown 
In the junk pile when Hallock’s “Success Gilt Edge” comes along. Write at once for 
descriptive matter, prices and full information. AGENTS WANTED. 
HALLOCK’S SUCCESS 
Gilt Edge Potato Harvester 
“I sold your digger to Mr. R. 8. Post, and he used it last Friday and Saturday in very hard stony ground, and on 
* side hill at that, and it did its work well. I saw it this morning myself, and I must say that I can sell a good manj 
of them next season, and I would like to be sure of the agency for ’98.” Yours truly, 
Newark, N. Y., October 18, 1897. W. H. H. Stebbina. 
“The digger arrived all right, although it was a long time on the way. I have given it a thorough trial, and this la 
the result. It digs all the potatoes, leaves them all in sight, and the ground in Bpleudid shape. I just about saved tha 
price of the digger this year in digging my seven 
acres of potatoes. I think there will be no troubla 
in selling them another year. For a starter thren 
of my neighbors Bay they want one next year.” 
Yours truly, M. D. Pickett. 
Okemos, Mich., November 13, 1897. 
“The season is bow about over, and we are very 
much pleased with our success with your Gilt Edge 
potato digger for this our first season with it. We have sold 28 
of them and they are all giving excellent satisfaction. We have 
two left, but have them hired out at 25 cents per acre. 
With one of these machines we have dug over 70 acres and 
not one cent for repairs.” Yours truly, 
Prairie City, Iowa, Oct. 18, 1897. Prairie City Produce Co. 
“Inclosed find check to cover sample digger shipped to me 
recently. I put the digger out for trial this A. M. It works 
entirely satisfactory, and I immediately wired you for fire 
more. Trust you shipped them at once. Please send me 
contract covering two counties. I expect to have a large 
trade on your digger.” Yours truly, Henry Walters. 
Sbermsville, III., August 19, 1897. 
Mr. Walters had been handling a high pi iced digger for 
several years. Was very skeptical about the Gilt Edge, but 
the above shows the result of his giving it a trial. He sold 
during the season of ’97, 33 diggers, every one of which 
gave entire satisfaction.

ST DRILL 
In the manufacture of this new 
Bi mv Brill we have applied the 
well known advantages of tlie 
disc principle to a grain drill.

tee of its quality. It Is the

'other well known and popular 
drills. It is equipped with 
the same Buckeye Bouhle 
Hun Force Feed, and 
\e,r Buckeye Speed Be- 
vice, for changing feed, that 
Is found on our other drills. 
The Advantages 
of the disc when applied to a drill 
are the complete opening of the 
H furrow for receiving the seed. The 
absolute freedom from clogging; tlie disc cuts through weeds, corn stalks, stubble, etc. 
Thev are somewhat lighter In draft also. Ours are equipped with either chain coverers or spring
