From The American Agricult urist, April. 1887. 
Potato Manure.. —W. W. Enk, Morrow Co., 
0., asks us to tell him which is the best man¬ 
ure for potatoes, and whether it is better to 
plow it under or harrow it in after plowing. 
The character aud condition of the soil may 
somewhat determine the choice of fert ilizers 
in some Instances,but under average conditions 
and in far the greater number of eases, we do 
not. hesitate to name Mapes’ Potato Manure as 
the best and most profitable fertilizer for po¬ 
tatoes. Iu the carefully conducted experiments 
of Prof. W. J, Green, of the Ohio Agricultural 
Experiment Station, the highest yield was 
produced from this fertilizer. Our own 
experiment^, continued during a series of years 
as well as those of many which wo could name, 
have given the same results. This fertilizer 
should not be plowed under. It may be 
lightly harrowed in, or applied in the furrows.
