he well dug ; then let drills be made with the ploQgi 

 or hoe, four inches deep, three feet between drill an< 

 drill, in which plant cuttings of potatoes, eight inchei 

 distance. I prefer planting cuttings of one or morf 

 eyes, to any other mode that has yet been adopted^ 

 The potatoes, however, ought not to be cut more 

 than two or three days previous to their being plant- 

 ed. After the earth is returned into the drills to cover 

 the potatoes, you may either rake or harrow the sur- 

 face smooth. If your ground was not dunged last fail, 

 you may make your drills deeper, and lay about two 

 inches of horse dung in their bottom. A very slight 

 strewing of horn shavings is an excellent manure for 

 potatoes, put in the bottom of the drill, or rather 

 over the potatoes. A double row of cabbage stumps 

 laid in the drill, is also an excellent manure, and sea 

 weed laid nearly an inch thick in the drill, will pro- 

 duce perhaps the largest crop of all. 



JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES. 



Plant those artichokes in almost any kind of ground, 

 in rows three or four feet asunder, five inches deep, 

 and eighteen inches apart ; the roots taste like arti- 

 chokes, have the appearance of a potatoe, and are 

 very good from fall to spring ; prepare the sets as po- 

 tatoes are preparisd. Those roots are good food for 

 cattle and hogs in winter. 



mijyt of all KIjYDS. 



This month make plantations of mint. Take from 

 old mint beds, young sprouts of last year's growth, 

 that have good roots ; help the roots out by loosening 

 the earth with a knife ; plant them on a well dug bed, 

 six inches distant from each other. 



ROSEMARY, RUE, c^^c. 



Take from any old bed of rosemary, rue, worm- 

 wood, iavenderj offset shoots or suckers^ that rke
