    The Potato-Digger :
    The potato-digger is used for digging potatoes.
    It is composed of a set of sprongs,
    a sock, two wheels, a shaft, and
    a seat.
    The set of sprongs is attached to the back of the potato-digger, and are made of iron.
    The set is made up of five or six sprongs.
    Each sprong is made of a bar of iron about a foot long, and another bar of iron in the shape of a U is attached to the top of it.
    All the sprongs are attached to a bar of iron coming from the middle of the digger, and they resemble a wheel.
