That is the approximate additional profit growers could make if the 
entire potato crop of the United States were graded by Boggs Potato 
Graders. 
Buyers willingly pay 25c to SOc more per bag or barrel for Boggs 
machine-graded than for hand-graded potatoes because they then know 
there will be less than 3% variation in size. 
Boggs Potato Grader 
The Standard Grader 
will sort and grade 75 to 700 bushels of round or long potatoes per hour 
(depending on size of grader) in U. S. Government sizes, eliminating 
culls and dirt. Kqufds the manual labor of from three to five men. 
Impossible to bruise or injure potatoes, as they are graded by an 
endless belt. 
Operated by hand, motor or en« 
gine. No experience necessary.

A “Shop” Story on the A.A. 
U NCLE Frank Manders, one of 
American Agriculturist’s salesmen, 
tells a good story of how he sold a sub¬ 
scription for the paper to two ladies 
who were trying to teach a calf to 
drink. The story goes as follows: 
‘T stopped at a place one night where 
two ladies were trying to feed a calf 
out of a pail, but could not get the calf 
to drink and as I went up to them I 
said ‘Good evening ladies. My name ,is 
Mander. I am the field man for the 
American Agriculturist. Do you take 
the paper?’ ‘No’ one lady said ‘We are 
not interested in papers just how, we 
are trying to get this calf to drink. 
‘Well,’ I said, ‘The American Agricul¬ 
turist has a Service Bureau that solves 
any problem that confronts you or col¬ 
lects any debt free of charge ,for any 
paid-in-advanced subscribers. Now, 
lady, if you will just take a five-year 
subscription which is only $3 and you 
never will be sorry. It’s a gift at that 
price. Why, I have taken it myself 
since 1876 and gave $1 a year for 
great many years. Now the proposi¬ 
tion is this: I will teach your calf to 
drink and give yau a five-year subscrip 
tion both for $3,’ ‘That’s a bargain, 
sir. Here is the pail. Just let me see 
you make that calf drink.’ I got over 
in the pen, caught the calf, backed it 
up in the corner, stuck its head be¬ 
tween my legs, took the pail in my left 
hand, placed my right hand on the top 
of the calf’s head with my middle finger 
in its mouth, pressed its head down into 
the milk and it commenced to drink. 
‘Well,’ she said ‘Mary you go to the 
house and get me $3, I’m stuck for he* 
has done the trick.’ ”

Essex Co.—Rain and snow have 
helped the water shortage generally. 
Wells and cisterns on many farms have 
been dry for some time. Two heavy 
snow falls have covered meadows suffici¬
