joy. One Is, that I can drink all the cold water 

 I please all day long, without any bad effect at 

 all. It passes off with the perspiration of the 

 body; my appetite is also fair, and I can eat al- 

 most any thing. The most inconvenient part 

 of it is having people stare at me, wondering 

 whether I am a crank or lunatic, with over- 

 coat and fur cap, in August.

We have still a goodly quantity of tliese left, and 

 now is the time to put tliem out— or, say, any time 

 during: this montli and next. Remembei-, unlike 

 tlie new onion culture tlie work is all done in the 

 fall, and tlie onions are ver.y much earUer tlian 

 even tliose planted in the greeidiouse and started 

 out in tlie spring-. For prices, see page bl4 of our 

 last issue. 



EARLY PURITAN POTATOES FOR SEED. 



A good many like our friend Johannsen (.see pag-e 

 682) have found it advisable to purchase their .seed 

 potatoes in the fall. Of course, we can not tell 

 what prices will be in the spring- compared with the 

 present time; but as a rule, prices are much higher 

 about planting- time. For the benefit of those who 

 would like to lay in Early Puritan, we offer them 

 foi- 6Uc a bushel, or 75c if packed in the new slatted 

 bushel boxes. Price per barrel, $1.75.
