 until there is a prospect of settled warm weather. Plant in hills about four feet apart each way. The hills should 

 be previously prepared, by mixing thoroughly with the soil in each a shovelful of well-rotted manure. Sprinkle 

 the vines liberally with slug-shot to protect from bugs, and when all danger from insects is passed, thin out 

 the plants, leaving three to four of the strongest to tach hill.
