Hallock’s Pot vto Digger. 
HALLOCK’S POTATO DIGGER. 
The diggers competed at the potato-digging contest, open for all comers, at Mr. McCurdy’s 
farm, at New Brunswick, N. J., viz., the Triumph, the Hoover, and the Hallock. At its 
close a vote was taken among the farmers present and the result was, four for the Hoover, 
six for the Triumph, and nineteen for the Hallock. As the result of the trial, we purchased one 
for our own use and find it superior, in the less power 
required and thoroughness of work done, to either the 
Allen or Common Sense digger which we had previously 
used; indeed, where the ground is cleared from weeds and 
vines , there is no necessity of digging after it, as the har¬ 
row will bring to light all that are not thrown out on 
the surface. Where the land is very weedy or the vines 
are green, we unhook the two wings and lay them aside. 
We find the Hallock a great labor-saver. It throws the 
potatoes on the surface entirely free from cuts or injury 
of any kind. 
Mr." P. B. Conets, of Flint, Mich., writes: “ I have dug 
10,000 bushels with the one purchased, and can turn out 
500 bushels a day with five men. I would not take $50 
for it if I could not get another. I have had most all 
other diggers, costing from $90 to $125, but I would sooner 
have yours even at the highest price.” 
Trice, per exp., or freight at purchaser’s expense, $20.00. 
PLANET, JR.,” SINGLE WHEEL HOE. 
We have always thought highly of some of the varieties of garden implements known as “Planet, Jr.,” and 
tms season we catalogue one of them, viz., the Single Wheel Hoe and its various attachments, making it a hoe 
cultivator, rake, and plough combined, capable of doing nearly all kinds of garden cultivation in a superior 
manner. The various parts are of easy adjustment, and the whole implement is a combination of lightness 
strength, and beauty, and a time and labor saver. All the blades are steel, hardened in oil, tempered 
and polished. A leaf guard has recently been added to prevent injury to the leaves in weeding spreading 
plants. The hoes work deep or shallow, narrow or wide, 
up to sixteen inches, though for 
very wide or heavy work it is gen¬ 
erally better to cut out the centre 
of the row rapidly, and do the close 
work afterwards. The rakes are 
good for killing weeds when they 
first make their appearance. Price, 
per express or freight, at pur¬ 
chaser’s expense, $5.50.
