spread in single layers on these shelves, and 
left until wanted for planting. We have 
taken such seed in March and spread it on 
the barn floor, or on the floor of a room 
in the house, exposed to the full force of 
the sun. When thus treated the tubers 
send out strong shoots hard and green in 
color, with short stubby sprouts. These 
are very different from the long and white 
sprouts which start when potatoes are kept 
in the dark. The potatoes in the sun do 
not wither as compared with those kept 
in dark storage. They will keep when 
spread in the sun for a long time. The 
pictures here shown indicate the way these 
sprouts start. First cut shows a potato ex-

SUN-SPROUTED POTATO SEED. 
The Ohio Experiment Station has issued 
a bulletin on potato culture. Mr. Ballou, 
who wrote it, rightly says that sun-sprouted i 
potato seed is greatly superior to seed which 
has been kept in a dark warm room up to 
the time of planting. His advice is to sun- 
sprout the seed after danger of severe freez¬ 
ing is over. Take the seed outdoors or 
somewhere under cover where it, can receive 
the direct sunshine. A set of shelves can 
be arranged one above another on the 
south side of the building. The tubers are 
TEN WEEKS IN SUNSHINE. 
posed to the sunlight four weeks, while 
second shows one thus exposed for 10 
weeks. Such sprouts will give much better 
plants than when taken directly out of 
the dark. This plan is particularly good 
when small tubers are used without cut¬ 
ting. This sprouted seed, when started 
early, will enable a grower to get bis plants 
above ground early in the season. It is 
found also that where the tubers are given 
a long sun bath in this way, soaking to 
prevent scab is not so necessary, as sun¬ 
shine is of itself a good treatment for 
germs. It is safer, however, to soak such 
seed before planting, and with this form 
the green sprouts are not injured by the 
soaking. 
Training in Domestic Science. 
C. IT. FI., Vermont .—I am a farmer’s girl, 
but I lack the training of a first-class 
housekeeper, so I would like to take a 
course i nan agricultural college, where they 
have a domestic science branch. Could you 
tell me if there are such schools near the 
southwestern part of New Hampshire? Do 
you think one could learn the art of house¬ 
keeping through a correspondence school? 
Ans. —We do not know of such a 
school in New Hampshire. The New 
Hampshire Agricultural College has not 
yet started domestic science. The Rhode 
Island College at Kingston, and Con¬ 
necticut at Storrs have good courses for 
girls. The Summer school at Boston is 
reported a good one. We doubt the 
possibility of getting really practical in¬ 
struction through a correspondence 
course At one of the schools we have 
mentioned a girl can obtain a good 
training.
