How to obtain the best Potatoes for
Planting.
"NOUITyl NIdy T, IC4O'
(To be continued.)

At Farmers Club in England, Mr. Ste
gphens read a communication from Mr. A. Tod
market gardener, Easter-road, near Edinburgh
4 on successful mode, which he had practiceC
/ for several years past, of raising Potatoes fol
ssced, and which Mr. Tod considered might alsc
4 be practced by farmers who wished to raise good
sseed Potatoes. After referring to the observa-
ton he had frequently made of Potatoes which
5had grown deep in the soil being meaIy and fit
for the table, while those formed near the sur
face of the ground were waxy, and consequent
4 y unfit for the table, yet made good seed-he
salluded to the conviction which this circum-
stance brought to his mind of the propriety of
always raising Potatoes for seed, and those for
food in different ways, and he was more anX-
ious to treat the Potato differently for these diff
serent purposes, that he had suffered largely by
failures in his early Potatoes. His suggestions
for raising seed Potatoes are therefore derived
from his own experience, and we believe they
Twill be best understood in his own words "The
remedy | venture to suggest" says Mr.. Tod, els
simple and practical, and within the reach of al
most every flrmer, and of character that ii
may be easily tried to a greater or less extent,
according to circumstances. propose that a
portion Of land most suitable for the raising Of
seed Potatoe should e selected, and if it re-
2qujre manure, let it be applied and plowed in
during the autumn and winter months. In the
Spring, let the ground be wrought into fine,
l(rable state, and plant the seed to the depth of
two inches, and no more During the summer,
let the ground be kept loose and fee of weeds,
but do net earth up the plants. In autumn, lift
the crop as soon the stems begin to lose their
,greenness By this method the crop will be as
large as by the ordinary way; but what is of
more Importance, the terminating powers Of the
lPotatoc will be found greatly improved and in
Ivigorated for the greater number Of the tubcrs
having grown above ground will have the ad-
vantage of the light and air to form and strength
len in the buds or eyes, and therefore will be
much harder and not so easily injured by rain
or frost as those grown in the ordinary way
In conclusion, Mr.. Tod says" Before | adopt
led the above method, had, for several years,
failures in my crops Of early Potatoes-more cs-
peciaIly in the Ash-le'f Kidney and the Adelphi
EarIy-but observing that such tubers as were
accidentally growing above ground exposed to
light and air, had weII-formed, strong and vigor-
Gus eyes or buds, | resolved to adopt the said
method of growing my seed, and have done SO
for the last four years and the result is that my
crops are considerably larger than they were,
and have now no blanks" To question put
from the chair, Mr.. Tod replied that he cut his
seed into sets when the Potatoes were large, but
planted the small Potatoes whole. He consider
ed it, however, of the greatest Importance to
manure the soil in autum or winter.

some seven summers old, Juggling away at
large armfuIl of wood. We were just on the
point of speaking word of praise to the little
fellow, when his foot slipped from under him
and down he fell, wood and all, upon the pave
