POTATOES. 



Prices Subject to Variations of the Market. 



A soocl, sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New or pasture land, with the turf freshly turned, produces the 

 finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, 3 feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate or decayed stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about 10 

 inches apart in the rows. Cover with about 2 inches of soil, and begin to cultivate when the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil 

 about the plants. A change of seed is the best antidote for disease. Four burrels are sufficient In plant one acre in, drills.
