High Quality of Foreign Potatoes.

ported potatoes are sold in our mar
kets at comparatively low prices on ac-

of decidedly superior quality to the ma

nearly If not altogether pay for itself
In one years work.
The one shown in the illustration is
very cheaply and easily constructed
and durable because OF the plan of
building. A good sound log seven feet
long and about two feet In diameter is
drawn to the sawmill, and after being
sSuared the miller arranges 1t on
the carriage In such a manner as to
shape 1t into an octagonal form. By
the use of an adz 1t Is then very easily
turned" into a complete cylinder. This
method secures rollers that run very
true and evenly and do much better
work than a log from natures own
working, and 1t will not check and
crack to pieces, but last doubly as long
as one made from a log. A two foot
log will make a roller sixteen to eight
cen inches in diameter, which Is plenty
large enough, as our experience teaches
us that one of this sxe will do better
work, crushing clods into the ground
leaving them uncrushed, as the large
rollers are wont to do.
This log Is then sawed into two equal
parts which when built will make an
eight foot roller. The construction is
shown in the Illustration plainly, 3 by
stuff being used for the frame. The
iron braces shown on rear OF tongue
are quite practical. They may also be
made of wood with good results The
boxing shown at A is very durable
and Is bolted to underside of frame.
The iron ayles are made of one and
quarter inch gas pipe. and ends of
roller are painted well to avoid check
