teen hills, in which put one potatot in

full Of fine manure in EACH And when
dug, the above 8 lbs. OF the largest po-
tatoes, produced 81 lbs.
The nextrow planted with cut DO
tatOes, OF the same kind, putting FIVE
pieces in a hill, the whole of lbs.
weight and manfred in The same man
ner as above. They produced so lis.
as did several other lows i'll the same
patch.
And nthe 18th Of May, pealed FIVE
OF the largest of the above potatoes,
carefully digging out the eyes about
the size OF a cent, which / planted in 8
rows OF sixteen feet long, putting the
eyes or . inches apart, and lie rows
3 feet, which contained about half rod
OF ground. They produced one 6ushel
& nine quarts (weig hing 70 lbs OF good
sized potatoes; many OF which weigh.

very few small ones. This ground re-
ceiyed no manure.
