Cultivation Of The Yam Potato

GENTLnIrS- This portion Of. the

should do from considerations Of
economy and healtbfulness. Yo ul
soil should be light, such as pulverise les
easily, and such as viii not become
hard in consequence Of rains. The
potato should never be planted in the
richest descriptions Of sol, Ia rneqi-
UNI quality il best, and if combined
with large portion Of sand, you
lave the very soil upon which to
plant; and the potato is never success
fully grownin the absence of this
principle inthe soil, simply because
the bulb has not by violence to
mako room for its gradual enlarge

distance Of FIVE feet, take yonr slips
and insert in your hill when moisten-

the distance you should plant your
slips, which think useless to debate
here. They convince me that four

would remark before going further,
that your hills should be eighteen
and twenty inches high, but should
never be higher, as observation has
taught me that the potato will never

depth below the surlace You cannot
get q heavy yield without eally

to set them, as hand watering is
justas sood, provided you do not

There is but one mode, I believe, by
