Mr.. L. .. Buudy, OF Oxford, Cheuango
county, n. Y, writes US that ho plants his
potatoes in the fall, aud obtains larger crops,
and larger. earlier, and better favored pota-
toes than when planted in the spring. His
method of planting is as follows:-Select
piece of dry ground, prepare it as for spriug
planting, any time III the fall when the ground
ie In good order. taking care to plant the po-
tatoos little deeper than in spring planting.
Throw shovel OF coarse manure upon, or
still better into each hill or better still, cover
the surface of the ground with coat ofstraw
where mice are not too plenty. The straw
helps to protect the potatoes during winter,
and forms mulch In summer. and checks
the growth of weeds so much, that the posa
toes scarcely need hoeing or plowing. Mr..
IS says:-''l have raised my potatoes 10 this
way for several years past, and they are in
variably free from the rot and at least two
weeks earlier, and two or three sizes larger
than in spring planting The ground is fro
zen this winter unusually hard. aud mice are
unusually plentiful; and should i fail for once
1t will be owing to one or other of these eau
ses. 1t do not fail this year, there can be no
doubt this way OF raising potatoes is the best.
