Potato Diggers.

PRACTICAL TESTS.

A trial of potato diggers took place in the field of Captain Aylward, Southport, on Tuesday, Oct. 16th, at two o'clock, in the presence of a large number of influential farmers from different farms of Queen's County. McKenzie’s potato digger, which took second money at the St. John Domi- nion Exhibition, was the first to enter the field. He was followed by what is termed Ainsley’s machine, a New York invention, for which Dover and Robertson, of this city, are agents. Next came Lane’s potato digger, called Common Sense, and lastly Robert Smallwood’s machine. The work- ing of these machines in the field was clogely watched, and every opportunity was afforded intending purchasers to judge for themselves as to the most practical and best machine. This was not, however, a difficult task, as McKenzie’s machine was admitted by all to have performed by far the best work. The fullowing is the report of the judges who acted on the occasion :—

Sovrarort, Lor 48, October 16, 1883.

We, the undersigned, appointed to witness a practical test of Potato Diggers, have to report that Mr. McKenzie's Potato Digger, in- vented by himself and patented, performed by far the best work of any other machine in the fieid. ;

(Judges) Wa. J. Fraser, Charlottetown, Ricwarp Wise, Milton, Frep’k. Horse, Winsloe Road, Broce Leitcs, Stanhope,

Ws. Morten, Hopeton, Lot 48, Ricwarp Jexxins, Pownal,

The following is the Judge’s decision of a trial of potato diggers, between Mr. Lane’s ‘Common Sense,” and Mr. McLeod’s ‘Beater Digger’ :—

Time occupied in digging ten drills by Mr Lane, forty four minutes. 3

Time occupied by Mr. McLeod in digging ten drills, forty-five minutes. :

A certain piece of ground {was examined after the elk was completed. Double the quantity of potatoes was found after the **Common Sense.”

After an examination of the potatoes when dug, we find the potatoes to be injured fifty

cent. more after Mr. McLeod's “Beater igger.” than after Mr. Lane’s “Common Sense.” gs

We observe that Mr, Lane’s ‘Common

Gense” is considerable lighter of draft than

Mr. McLeod's ‘Beater Digger.” (Judges) Arex. HaMILton, Geo. R.

WORLD'S

Hair Restorer LS PERFECTION/

A. ALLEN has justly earned this title, and thousands are this day rejoicing over a fine head of hair produced t her unequaled preparaticn for restG. ing, invigorating, and beautifying the Hair. Her World’s Hair Restorer quickly cleanses the scalp, removing Dandruff, and arrests the fall; the hair, if gray, is changed to its natural color, giving it the same vitality and luxurious quantity as in youth.

COMPLIMENTARY. “My hair is now restored to its youthful color; I have not a gray hair left. Iam sat- ished that the preparation is not a dye, but acts on the secretions. My hair ceases to fall, which is cer-.. tainly an advantage to me, who was in danger of be- coming bald.” This is the testimony of all who use Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER.

**One Bottle did it.” Thatis the expression of many who have had their gray hair restored to its natural color, and their bald spot covered with hair, after using one bottle of Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’s Wortp’s Hatx Restorer. It is not a dye.
